Abstract
In buffalo oestrus behaviour has a lower intensity than in cows and is much more difficult to detect, limiting theapplication of artificial insemination (AI) program. Several methods of heat detection have been developed for use incattle; these include visual observation, heat mount detectors, tail paint, chin-ball markers, teaser animals and electronicdevices. In buffalo, unlike cattle, the female are receptive to mounting activity mainly by the bull and occasionally byother cows. Consequently unless a buffalo bull is to be left running with the herd it can be difficult to know when oestrusis occurring. The presence of a teaser bull is helpful to identify buffaloes in heat; in this case the standing oestrus is themost reliable sign referable to a next ovulation. Other heat detection aids utilized in buffalo include: pedometers; vaginalprobes; pressure sensitive telemetry device (Heat Watch®). In order to increase the use of AI easy m...
