Failure of estrus cycles in poly-estrus farm animals
is known as anestrus.

❑ Physiological Anestrus

• Post-partum anestrus
• Pre-Pubertal anestrus
• Pregnancy
Classification of Anestrus
Class I (Functional): These cases have normal functional
corpus luteum
(i) Anestrum due to Pregnancy
(ii) Persistent Corpus Luteum
a) Associated with Uterine Pathology- Pyometra,
Mummification, Maceration
b) Associated with Early Embryonic Death- PCL
(iii) Silent Estrum
(iv) Un-Observed Estrum
Class II (True Anestrus): This is associated with small
inactive ovaries with no palpable corpus luteum per rectum
1. Apparent anestrum
2. Anestrum secondary to debility or weight loss
a) Low plane of nutrition-
❑ Low TDN and DCP in ration
❑ Phosphorus Deficiency
❑ Iron, Copper and Cobalt deficiency and anemia
b) Chronic Debilitating Disease- Tuberculosis, Para-
tuberculosis, Actinomycosis, Haemo-protozoan infection
like Theileriosis and Anaplasmosis
c) Senility
d) Seasonal Influence- Winter anestrus in mares and
queens, summer anestrus in buffaloes
3. Cystic Ovaries
4. Miscellaneous- Post-partum, Freemartinism, Congenital
bilateral ovarian hypoplasia, Granulosa Cell Tumor
Diagnosis
Examination should be made twice at 10 days interval
External Genitalia- Small Vulva, Vulvar lips dry and pale
Rectal Palpation- Flaccid Uterine Horns, Smooth Ovaries/
Corpus Luteum
Progesterone Assay- < 0.5 ng/ml measured twice at ten
days interval
Haemato-Biochemistry- Hb%, Phosphorus, AST,
Albumin, Cholesterol
Treatment
Cattle
Functional Anestrus
❖ Prostaglandin
❖ Cloprostenol- 500 micro (2 ml) gram intra-muscular
Pragma®, Intas (250 µg/ml)
Pregova®, Virbac
❖ Dinoprost Tromethamine- 25 mg (5 ml) intra-muscular

❖ Lutalyse®, Pfizer (5 mg/ml)


True Anestrus
 Deworming
Albendazole (Albomar®, Virbac) 3 gm bolus twice at 14
days interval
 Treatment of Hemo-protozoan Infection (if any)
 Correction of Anemia with Hematinic Preparation
Sharkoferol Vet®, Alembic
 Vitamin Mineral Mixture- 50 grams mix with feed per animal
Chelated Agrimin Forte®, Virbac
Minfa Gold®, Intas
 Proper Balance Ration (TDN & DCP as per requirement)

 Herbal Formulations Effective Against True Anestrus


 Himfertin Vet® (Himalaya), Prajana HS® (Indian Herbs),
Sajani® (Zydus), Janova® (Ayurvet)

 Dose
 Cattle and Buffaloes: 3 caps/day for 2 days, repeat after 11
days if not in heat
 Sheep, Goats, Bitch, Sows: 2 caps/day for 2 days, repeat
after 11 days if not in heat
 If the above treatment fails then hormonal treatment
should be initiated

 Clomiphene Citrate 300 mg (Ovulanta Kit®, Vet Mankind)


 Cattle, Buffaloes, Sow: 1-2 tablets orally for 5 days
 Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin (Folligon®, MSD)
1000 IU intra-muscular followed by
 Buserelin Acetate (Gynarich®, Intas) 20 micro-gram intra-
muscular on appearance of estrus symptoms
Anestrus in Goats
 Intra-muscular injection of 250 µg cloprostenol sodium
 Deworming
 Flushing along with vitamin mineral supplementation
 In Case of No Response
 25 mg Progesterone (Hyprogen®, VetsPharma), 2 days
thereafter 500 IU PMSG
 10 µg Buserelin acetate as symptoms of estrus appear
Anestrus in Sow

 Lactational anestrus is common in sows


 Proper nutrition is essential in early post-weaning (8
weeks) return to heat
 500 IU PMSG and 200 IU HCG is recommended
treatment of post-weaned anestrus sows
Anestrous in Mare
 Mares have winter anestrous and lactation anestrous
 Mares exhibit foal heat 6 to 9 days after parturition but enters
anestrus thereafter
 Mares anestrous after foaling are termed ‘Every Other Year Mares’
 Good nutrition after foaling reduces the length of anestrous
 ‘Psychological Anestrum’ or silent heat mares ‘break down’ if
presentenced to a stallion with restrain
 Buserelin at the dose rate of 20 µg twice daily for 10 days usually
brings mares into estrus by 7 to 10 days
