PAS_2
Agro Ecological Zone	Agro Ecological Sub Region (ICAR) Madhya Bharat plateau Western Malwa plateau, Eastern Gujarat plain, Vindhyan and Satpura range and Narmada Valley hot, moist semi-arid eco-subregion (5.2), Agro-Climatic Region (Planning Commission) Gujrat Plains And Hills Region (XIII) , Agro-Climatic Zone (NARP) Middle Gujarat Zone (GJ-3)
Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs	Sprin disorder: pain, swelling, bruising. Oestrus disorder: stands and bellows, smells other cow, red, moist and slightly swollen vulva, clear mucus discharge from vulva
Disease Description	Heat detection is critical to heat synchronization and breeding programs, particularly artificial insemination and embryo transfer programs. Effective heat detection is often the most limiting factor in an artificial insemination program. Heat detection can also be used to monitor onset of puberty in heifers, regularity of estrous cycles in breeding age females, and breeding effectiveness of natural service sires via returns to heat in the cow herd.

Precautions
Procedure of Use	Farmer Pratapbhai Sonabhai Chauhan treat sprain and oestrus in cattle by using butter tree or mahua flower. Sprains and Bone Injuries: Boil a handful of mahua flowers. Crush into a fine paste and apply over the injured area. Apply splints or bandage to immobilize the joint. Apart from this topical application, feed some flowers orally along with morning and evening feed. This accelerates the healing. Oestrus Disorders: When a cow or buffalo fails to come to heat even after milk production has almost ceased and the calf has become independent of the mother, it may be due to lack of sufficient hormonal flow. Feeding mahua flowers to such an animal induces the flow and she comes to heat within three to seven days. Along with morning and evening feed, feed three to five kilogram mahua flowers. Either fresh flowers are shade-dried flowers may be fed. There is no adverse side-effect to this method.
