"Bhikalal Prabhudas Masani of Lilia taluka in Amreli in Gujarat feeds cooling agents to prevent repeat breeding in young heifers, especially in the case of heifers that have not yet calved. Heifers in heat often suffer from repetitive breeding problems. Masani treats these heifers with Isabgol (Plantago ovata) and 500 g of castor oil. He mixes this and feeds it to the heifers. Castor oil and Isabgol both are also considered as cooling agents in ayurveda." |

| Disease | Repeat breeding |
| Disease Description | One of the major loss making reproductive problems in dairy cattle prevalent at field level is existence of a large number of repeat breeder cows. 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. Repeat breeding causes financial loss in terms of repeated inseminations, treatment, cost of feeding without production, production loss due to delayed conception. |
| Management Practices | Bring the animal into +ve balance with help of feeding additional concentrate, greens, mineral supplement. Check the semen quality and use only high quality semen. GnRH: 10 mg of GnRH at the time of AI or immidiately after AI. hCG: 1500 IU at the time of AI. Progesteron: 500 mg of progesteron, P depot, Duraprogen on 5th day after AI. CIDR, ear implant or PRID application and fixed time AI twice at 48 and 72 hours. |
