Procedure of Use "If cows and buffalos of three to four years of age do not come to mate with the male of the animal, the condition is called anoestrus. It will be a loss for the farmer for he will be denied milk supply despite expenditure on the animal. To treat the condition, 20 kilogram pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) and two kg are mixed and fed to the animal over a period of three to four days. The cow or buffalo becomes estrus within a week of this treatment. This is a traditional method learnt by farmers from their elders."
