Take 2 handful of curry leaves (Kari patti) and give after insemination for 10 days that will cure repeat breeding problem in cattle. Take 200 gm of Mimosa pudica (Chuimui) and prepare decoction. Give for 2-3 days that will cure the problem (https://www.dairyknowledge.irticle/repeat-breeding). |

| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
Repeat breeders can be divided into two groups: 1)Early repeats: Cows that come into heat within 17-24 days after AI.In these animals the luteal function has been shorter than normal or typical for the physiological oestrus cycle in non bred cow. In these cows the most probable event is either failure of fertilisation (delayed ovulation, poor semen quality etc.) or early embryonic death (delayed ovulation, poor embryo quality, unfavourable uterine environment, precocious luteolysis). 2)Late repeats: Cows that come into heat later than 25 days after AI.In these animals the luteal function was maintained for longer than the physiological luteal phase in non bred cows. Fertilisation and initial recognition of pregnancy probably took place but for some reason (inadequate luteal function, inadequate embryo signalling, infectious diseases, induced luteolysis) luteolysis was induced and pregnancy lost. |
| Disease Description |
One of the major loss making reproductive problems in dairy cattle prevalent at field level is existence of a large number of repeat breeder cows. A repeat breeder is a cow that has normal estrous cycle, is free from palpable clinical abnormalities, has no abnormal vaginal discharge, is less than 10 years old, has calved at least once but has failed to conceive after at least three or more consecutive inseminations. In a simpler term, in case of repeat breeding cows will come to heat regularly but not succeed to conceive after successful mating. Repeat breeding causes financial loss in terms of repeated inseminations, treatment, cost of feeding without production, production loss due to delayed conception. |

| Precautions |
Maintain breeding record properly, Avoid overcrowding especially at the time of AI, Mineral mixture supplementation should be an integral part of diet @ 2% of ration, Provide the animals clean water to drink, Provide as much as cool climate to the animals during summer especially to crossbred animals, Heavy plantation around the farm, sprinkling water, bathing and roof painting will help to keep the animals cool and healthy in summer.
Animals with congenital defects of ovary, fallopian tubes or uterus should not be inseminated. These diseases are transmitted to next generations. Therefore, such animals should be culled immediately.
Underweight (less than 250 kg), malnourished, anaemic animals should never be inseminated.
Overfeeding of oil seed cakes to dairy cows should be avoided since it can enhance embryonic mortality.
Do not feed mould infested grains and green fodder and soiled wheat straw to dairy cows.
Cows showing turbid or discoloured mucus discharge should not be inseminated and should be checked for any uterine infections and treated accordingly.
Avoid putting the straw back into the liquid nitrogen cylinder once after it has been taken out. Once straw has been taken out, it should be used immediately or throw away.
To avoid contamination, the AI gun should never be pulled out of the vagina and reinserted into it.
Only efficient trained personnel should do artificial insemination.
Never use bulls with known genital infections for AI.
Do not use same bull again and again for breeding in same cow.
Do not use a bull for AI with his own daughter to check inbreeding. Maintain the record properly and rotate the breeding bull among the dairy farmers minimum after every 3rd year to check inbreeding.
Met oestrus/Post oestrus bleeding indicates the culmination of the heat and animals should never be inseminated at that time.
Use hormonal treatments judiciously only when required. |
| Procedure of Use |
Farmer of diistrict Bhavnagar treat repeat breeding in cattle. He takes the stem of banana (Musa paradisiaca) and pound it on a stone to extract its juice. Use a drench pipe to feed one litre of this juice to the animal. The animal is given this dose two times with a gap of two days between the doses. It becomes alright within a week. The treatment has no side effects. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Fertilization failure, early embryonic death |
| Global Context |
Repeat breeding Disorder in cattle is spread worldwide. It is very common in old animal than young animal |
