Abstract

Commercial dairy farming is an emerging segment that strengthens the economy of farmers and the nation. A successful “One Calf a Year Programme” is the key to profitable dairy farming. It has been observed that even with proper farm management and veterinary aid, the conception rate has been low and the Repeat Breeding Syndrome (RBS) was very commonly experienced. The main obstacle seems to be the functional hurdles of the reproductive system and often these functional hurdles remain hidden or undiagnosed due to lack of diagnostic facilities, leading to poor fertility. These functional hurdles directly affect fertility and are the major causes of RBS. Various published studies have shown that Indian traditional science can offer a positive solution to overcome the functional hurdles that lead to infertility. It has been reported that certain specific herbs and polyherbal preparations have been proven to be effective in normalizing the functional hurdles leading to an increase in conception rate. Such products have been receiving excellent responses from Indian dairy farmers.

Keywords: Fertility, calf a year, functional hurdles, repeat breeding, herbal remedies
