Background: At present there is huge demand for Gir cow females however, prolonged inter calving period, more inseminations per conception and post-partum anestrus are the predominant reproductive disorder along with use of unsexed semen limit the birth of more females in Gir cows. The present research study was conducted to study the effect of sex sorted semen in synchronized estrus with Ovsynch protocol on pregnancy rate and gender ratio in Gir cows. Methods: Total twenty Gir cows that have completed post-partum period of sixty days with normal reproductive genitalia, without clinical as well as subclinical infection were selected and divided into two equal groups. The cows from both the groups were synchronized with Ovsynch protocol. In Group- I (n=10), the cows were inseminated with sex sorted semen while in Group-II, the cows were inseminated with coneventional semen. The pregnancy rate and gender ratio was recorded. Result: Efficacy of estrus synchronization was 100.00 per cent for Gir cows treated by Ovsynch protocol in both groups. The pregnancy rate was numerically lower after AI with sex sorted semen (40%) than conventional semen (50%) and results are non significant (P less than 0.05) with 100% calving rate. The proportion of female calves born from sex sorted semen AI was 75% and from conventional semen was 60%. The proportion of live calves born from sex sorted and conventional semen AI was 100%. The sex sorted semen may be used in Ovsynch protocol in Gir cows.

Antidiarrhoeal activity of Leaves of Dalbergia sissoo (D. sissoo) was evaluated in mice using castor oil induced diarrhoea and gastrointestinal motility test with charcoal meal method and further in clinical cases of goats. The results showed that the D. sissoo leaves extract (400 mg/kg and 800 mg/kg) produced significant (p is less than 0.01) reduction in frequency of defecation up to 75.12% compared to control mice in castor oil induced diarrhoea. The inhibition of charcoal meal transit by D. sissoo at dose of 400 mg/kg and 800 mg/kg treated groups was found to be 42.95 and 53.20 per cent, respectively as compared to controls. In clinical cases of diarrhoea in goats D. sissoo decoction treated group showed complete recovery and normalization of the faeces on 4th day of treatment. The study revealed that D. sissoo possesses potent antidiarrhoeal activity
