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 Rabarai has a whole range of remedies to correct the abnormal condition so that the cow gets back to secrete normal quantum of milk. 1. Drench 200 to 300 millilitres of castor (Ricinus communis) oil with a drenching pipe early in the morning. Purging the stomach often brings the balance back in the cows endocrine system. 2. Pound 200 to 300 grams of the common wind killer plant glorybower (Clerodendrum phlomidis) to obtain the extract. Drench this extract to the cow along with some sugar syrup. 3. Feed four or five banana (Musa paradisiaca) leaves along with fodder. If the cow does not relish them, extract the juice of these leaves and drench her, using a drenching pipe.
