Hysteroscopy has been used to a limited extent in large domestic animals to evaluate uterine health and institute therapy. On account of the anatomic formation of bovine cervix it is difficult to pass the endoscope inside the uterus whereas the ease with which the equine cervix can be passed has stimulated interest in the use of hysteroscopy in the...

Estrus synchronization and timed inseminations can overcome two distinct problems of buffalo breeding: poor overt estrus expression and seasonality of breeding. Evidence is accumulating that, similar to cattle, the synchronization of estrus in buffalo is dependent on the presence of dominant follicle (DF) and corpus luteum (CL) on the ovary. Approa...
