Repeat breeders should be carefully evaluated in order to define the most probable reason for the failure to conceive (early repeats) or failure in pregnancy maintenance (early and late repeats). Initially heat records should be evaluated to classify the cow as early or late repeat. Cows that have had three services and are not pregnant should be checked before serving again by a veterinarian. (https://www.thecattlesite.com/diseaseinfo/231/repeat-breeding-syndrome/) |

Different treatment strategies as studied in this review article could be adopted as guideline to improve conception rate in repeat breeding cattle and buffaloes in Nepal. However, the first step of treatment involves good care, nutrition, better oestrus detection, timely insemination and management of mating with bulls.

| Disease Description |
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.

"According to the farmer Rasulbhai, if cows or buffaloes are suffering from the condition of repeat breeding, then treat them with 200 grammes of mustard seeds (Brassica juncea) and 500 grammes of castor (Ricinus communis) oil. First fasten the animal with a rope and put a noose in its neck. Make the animal drink the mixture with the help of a drencher. This will control the repeat breeding condition in the animal. Give the animal mustard seeds (Brassica juncea) mixed with fodder. This treatment is inexpensive and economical." |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
|
| Global Context |
Heat stress during the summer disrupts several reproductive processes, resulting in a pronounced depression of conception rate in dairy cows worldwide. (https://academic.oup.com/af/article/9/1/32/5167932) |
| Lesson Implication |
Supplementation of mixture of barley and mustardccake (1:1) to growing heifers on wheat straw based rations showed that the mixture of protein and energy was a better supplement than either barley or mustard cake alone.
Costlier conventional cake like soybean meal was replaced completely by canola quality rapeseed mustard cake (RMC) as a protein source in the diet of young calves
Field level demonstration indicated that replacement of cotton seed cake with cheaper mustard cake in prevailing feeding practices of cattle and buffaloes saved Rs 90/animal/month without compromising on milk production
