Abstract
Lower reproductive efficiency of buffalo than that of cattle hampers efficient utilization of tropical buffaloes. Heat detection in buffaloes poses problem because overt signs in buffaloes are of less intense and of shorter duration than in cattle. Moreover, buffalo tends to exhibit overt signs during night or early morning and most farmers are ignorant of physical signs of estrus. Inhibin, a glycoprotein hormone produced by ovarian granulosa cells, suppresses production and / or secretion of FSH through negative feedback effect at pituitary level (Burger, 1992). There is no information available on comparison of peripheral plasma inhibin profiles in Sahiwal cows and Murrah buffaloes reared under identical feeding and management condition. The present study was, therefore, designed to compare inhibin profiles in Sahiwal cows and Murrah buffaloes reared under tropical condition.
