Farmer of district Bhavnagar treat repeat breeding in cattle with the help of banana suckers. Feed the animal banana (Musa paradisiaca) suckers and it will conceive. Smaller animals should be given less quantity of banana suckers. Usually the banana suckers are mixed with cattle feed and given to the animal for two to three days. |
| PAS_2 |
Take 2 handful of curry leaves (Kari patti) and give after insemination for 10 days that will cure repeat breeding problem in cattle. Take 200 gm of Mimosa pudica (Chuimui) and prepare decoction. Give for 2-3 days that will cure the problem (https://www.dairyknowledge.irticle/repeat-breeding). |

| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
Repeat breeders can be divided into two groups: 1)Early repeats: Cows that come into heat within 17-24 days after AI.In these animals the luteal function has been shorter than normal or typical for the physiological oestrus cycle in non bred cow. In these cows the most probable event is either failure of fertilisation (delayed ovulation, poor semen quality etc.) or early embryonic death (delayed ovulation, poor embryo quality, unfavourable uterine environment, precocious luteolysis). 2)Late repeats: Cows that come into heat later than 25 days after AI.In these animals the luteal function was maintained for longer than the physiological luteal phase in non bred cows. Fertilisation and initial recognition of pregnancy probably took place but for some reason (inadequate luteal function, inadequate embryo signalling, infectious diseases, induced luteolysis) luteolysis was induced and pregnancy lost. |
| Disease Description |
In a simpler term, in case of repeat breeding cows will come to heat regularly but not succeed to conceive after successful mating. Repeat breeding causes financial loss in terms of repeated inseminations, treatment, cost of feeding without production, production loss due to delayed conception. |
| Disease Control |
BY controling uterine infections |
| Disease Prevention |
Ensure insemination techniques are as good as possible. Ensure insemination techniques are as good as possible. Don’t start serving too soon after calving. Herds that start early have lower pregnancy rates to service and so more repeat breeder cows. Minimise stress at service. For example, try and avoid serving around turnout or when you change the diet. |
| Precautions |
Maintain and control uterine infections, avoid stresss, cold water on back of animal, clitoris massage, proper thawing and semen quality, proper insemination technique, proper nutrition is necessary, feed should contain atleast 2% mineral mixture, feeding of high level of CP is avoided |
| Procedure of Use |
To treat this problem, seeds of dill (Anethum graveolens), jaggery and water are boiled properly. Then, the leaves of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) are added to the boiled mixture. This mixture is boiled till 500 ml remains in the container. After cooling, this mixture is drenched to the affected animal with the help of drenching pipe. This treatment provides relief to the animal. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Fertilization failure, early embryonic death |
| Global Context |
Repeat breeding Disorder in cattle is spread worldwide. It is very common in old animal than young animal |
