The present investigation was carried out in Deoni cattle maintained at cattle breeding farm, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Udgir Dist-Latur to see the influence of various non-genetic factors on production and reproduction traits. The breeding tract of Deoni breed is the 714.26±69.72 litres, 214.52±43.25 days, 204.77±32.86 days, 489.23±36.83 days, 284.89±31.92 days and 288.83±10.29 days, respectively. Service period had highly significant (p<0.01)
The present study was conducted in 4 repeat breeding and 4 cyclic graded Murrah buffaloes to see the efficacy of AISURE herbal oral liquid feed supplement on conception rate. AISURE herbal oral liquid feed supplement was drenched to all 8 buffaloes immediate after artificial insemination. Out of 4 repeat breeding buffaloes 2 (50 %) were conceived on first AI and 1 (50 %) buffalo conceived on second time AI and one not at all conceived. From the 4 cyclic buffaloes all 4 (100 %) were conceived on first AI. 75 per cent overall conception rate was observed. It is observed that AISURE herbal oral liquid feed supplement is useful in increasing the conception rate in buffaloes.

: 12 Osmanabadi kids were randomly selected based on body weight for the present study. The kids were randomly divided in 2 groups containing six kids in each group. One group was the control and other one was the treatment group. The herbal growth promoter (plant extract) was added in ration of treatment group and was not added in control group ration. Weekly feed intake and weekly live body weight were recorded. Results indicated that there is significant increase in dry matter intake and weekly live body weight of Osmanabadi kids due to supplementation of herbal growth promoter.
Background: During early lactation, the nutrient requirement of cows and buffaloes will be increased and at the same time, the feed intake is lowered due to stress of parturition. During this condition, depletion of body nutrient store occurs and the animal becomes weak day by day due to negative energy balance. Therefore to overcome the negative energy balance due to low feed intake, an alternate energy-dense ingredient is required. The bypass fat overcomes the negative energy balance and maintains animal body weight as well as milk production. Hence, undertook the present investigation.
Methods: The present research was carried out in 10 graded Murrah buffaloes to study the effect of supplementation of rumen bypass fat on live body weight, milk yield, milk composition and body condition score during early lactation. The body weight, milk yield, milk composition and body condition score were recorded at weekly intervals before and after supplementation of rumen bypass fat. Result: Highly significant increase in live body weight, body condition score and milk production was observed, whereas a non-significant to a significant increase in milk fat and protein was recorded. The present study found a significant decrease in milk SNF and a highly significant decrease in milk density percentage. Non-significant effect on milk lactose was recorded. Therefore, it is concluded that supplementation of bypass fat could improve live body weight, body condition score and milk production in graded Murrah buffaloes.
