The current study utilized 20 postpartum anestrus buffaloes maintained at an organized dairy farm in Vuyyuru, Krishna district to compare the metabolic (glucose), mineral (calcium) and anti-oxidant (superoxide dismutase) levels in ovsynch-48 (n=10, G48) and ovsynch-56 (n=10, G56) postpartum anestrus graded Murrah buffaloes. G48 group of buffaloes received 20 µg of GnRH on Day 0, followed by 500 µg PGF2 on Day 7, a final dose of 20 µg of GnRH was given 48 hours after PGF2α on Day 9. Whereas, G56 group of buffaloes received 20 µg of GnRH on Day 0, followed by 500 µg of PGF2α on Day 7, a final dose of 20 µg GnRH was given 56 hours after PGF2α on Day 9. In both groups, FTAI was performed at 16-21 hours interval after observing estrus. Results revealed that on different days of treatment, serum glucose and calcium levels did not differ significantly (P>0.05) in both treatment groups; however, Superoxide dismutase levels varied significantly (P<0.05) on different days of treatment in both groups. The results of the study parameters could play pivotal role in reproductive function and may provide insights into the underlying mechanism of anestrus.
