“…Additionally, M. koenigii, whether used alone or in combination with a mineral supplement and a low dose of GnRH injection, was found to be equally effective in inducing fertility in anestrus buffaloes (Umashanker et al 2006) 2009) also studied that supplemental effect of M. koenigii leaves for a period of 30 days and found induced oestrus in 60% of the anestrus heifers. Mehrotra (2002) have also documented that M. koenigii has been found to enhance ovarian function in rats and improve the therapeutic response in acyclic goats and heifers, particularly regarding oestrus and conception. 2016) reported that 90.9% and 92.3% of delayed pubertal heifers, respectively, began cycling after being fed a herbal mixture.…”

The study was carried out to ascertain the effect of herbal formulation on metabolic profile and reproductive performance of crossbred cows. Crossbred cows (24) were randomly assigned to four treatment groups. Cows in CON (control) group were fed a diet comprised of green fodder, concentrate and wheat straw, while, the cows in HP (herbal powder), HPL (herbal pellets) and HEX (herbal extract) groups were offered CON diet having herbal powder (200gd− 1), herbal pellets (200gd− 1) and methanolic herbal extract (equivalent to 200g herbal powder d− 1), respectively. The cows were fed on treatment diets for 7 d and continued with CON diet up to one month. Hb levels were analogous among the treatments; however, haematocrit values were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the HEX group relative to CON. Total protein, albumin, globulin, A:G ratio, serum glucose, total cholesterol, AST and ALT were comparable across the dietary treatments. Serum NEFA, urea and creatinine were lower (P < 0.01) in treatment groups relative to CON. Serum minerals viz. i-P, Cu, Zn, Mn and iron were significantly (P < 0.01) higher in all the treatments than CON. The conception at first insemination was considerably higher in HPL, HEX and HP groups relative to CON. Spinnbarkeit and pH values of cervical mucus were noticeably higher in HP, HPL and HEX groups. The typical fern pattern of cervical mucus exhibited higher conception rate in treatment groups. It may be concluded that the herbal formulation positively influenced metabolic parameters and reproductive performance in post-partum crossbred cows.
