Procedure of Use	When a fully grown cow or buffalo shows no inclination to conceive, Devshankarbhai Ravjibhai Pandya of Gujarat has an answer. He takes sword-jackbean (Canavalia gladiata) creeper, cuts it into small pieces and soaks the vine pieces in water for one day. The following day the animal is drenched with one-and-a-half to two drench pipes (500 millilitres) of this solution. This brings the animal to "heat".
