Abstract: The present investigation was aimed to compare the oestrus induction efficiency, oestrus induction interval and conception rate in postpartum anoestrus and oestrus induced buffaloes. A total of 24 postpartum anoestrus buffaloes were selected from different villages situated around Jaipur (Raj.) and Livestock Farm Complex, Apollo College of Veterinary Medicine, Jaipur (Raj.). These 24 postpartum anoestrus buffaloes were randomly divided into three treatment groups (n=06 each) on the basis of hormonal treatment protocols given to animals of groups. Ovsynch group, Heatsynch group, CIDR plus Heatsynch group while control group (n=06) were left untreated. Therapeutic efficacy of different hormonal protocols in terms of oestrus induction efficiency was found to be 66.66, 66.66 and 83.33% with a mean post treatment oestrus induction intervals of 21.25±0.63, 19.25±0.48 and 20.60±0.50 hrs, while conception rate was recorded as 50.00, 50.00 and 80.00%, respectively in Ovsynch, Heatsynch and CIDR plus Heatsynch groups.
