Abstract : Objective: The present study was designed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of Randia dumetorum, Tinospora cordifolia, and commercial herbal medicine (Prajana HS, Indian Herbs Overseas) for induction of cyclicity in anoestrus buffalo heifers. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight anoestrus buffalo heifers were examined and redistributed into six groups (G0, G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5) and each comprising of eight (n=8) animals. Untreated anoestrus animals (G0) and cyclic animals (G6) were kept as an anoestrus control and cyclic control, respectively. Group G1 was supplemented with the mineral mixture, while G2, G3, G4, and G5 groups were treated with Prajana HS, Randia dumetorum, Tinospora cordifolia, and the combination of Randia dumetorum and Tinospora cordifolia, respectively along with supplementation of mineral mixture. Results: Overall estrus induction and conception rate were recorded as 50 % and 75 % in mineral mixture (G1), 75 and 83.33 % in Prajana HS (G2), 87.50 % and 85.71 % in Randia dumetorum (G3), 62.5%, and 80% in Tinospora cordifolia (G4), and 87.5% and 85.71% in Randia dumetorum and Tinospora cordifolia combination (G5) whereas none of heifers were exhibited estrus symptom in untreated anoestrus control group. Conclusion: On the basis of Overall estrus induction, conception rate, and hematological parameters concluded that the Randia dumetorum and Tinospora cordifolia combination have an effective role in the treatment of anoestrus buffalo heifers. Ethnoveterinary medicines can be utilized as low-cost therapeutic management for control of anoestrus buffalo heifers.
