"Farmer Rajabhai of district Surendranagar treat anestrus in cattle. For anoestrus in animal, ear of thorn apple (Datura metel) is cut into 3 pieces, and fed to the animal along with loaf. The remedy is fed to the animal thrice a day, for three days. It leads to bleeding of nose due to excess of heat. In such case, drench ghee to the animal, which stops nose bleeding. The animal comes to heat and the animal gets conceived." |

| Disease Description |
Anestrus is considered a problem when cows are not seen in heat. Failure to observe heat and heat detection must always be ruled out as the primary problem. Review heat detection procedures and heat detection efficiency with the producer. Pregnancy can be a prominent cause of anestrus and must always be a always be a prime ruleout before anything else. Rule out true anestrus by palpating the ovaries |
| Disease Control |
A good method that can be used to get the heifers cycling 'earlier', actually does not really get them cycling earlier. What you do is breed the heifers 2-6 weeks earlier than the cows, so they will calve earlier that the cows. If they calve earlier, they will have longer that the cows to start cycling. If you have a restricted breeding seasons, the heifers will be cycling when the cows cycle.
You can weigh the cows 100 days before calving. The weight 24 hours after calving should be the same as that 100 days before calving. This take into account the fetus and placenta being delivered at parturition. Obviously, this is more of a historical finding and is not a practical preventative measure.
Body condition scoring at weaning
This is an ideal method to ensure adequate prepartum nutrition. You use a system of body score condition when the calves are weaned. (Calves are generally weaned at about 205 days postpartum, so the cows should be about 100 days pregnant.)
The scores are :1-3: emaciated, 4 borderline, 5-7 good fat 8-9 fat. |

| Procedure of Use |
As informed by Shantaben, two kilogram dried leaves of mango (Mangifera indica) are collected and fed to the affected animal. With the use of this treatment, animal comes into the heat in 18 to 20 days. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Failure of folicular development of ovary. A common cause of prolonged anestrus in weaned cows is insufficient energy or protein intake during lactation |
| Global Context |
anestrus Disorder in livestock animals is spread worldwide. |
| Lesson Implication |
The condition may be associated with uterine pathology such as pyometra, fetal resorption, maceration and mummification. |
