Accurate detection of oestrus is a key factor for breeding and successful conception in buffaloes which is a major constraint in buffaloes. Protein concentrations of saliva and cervico vaginal fluid (CVF) were determined during various stages in normal cycling, silent oestrus and anoestrus buffaloes. Eighteen pluriparous buffaloes were selected and divided into Group I (regular oestrus; n=6), Group II (silent oestrus; n=6) and Group III (anoestrus n=6) buffaloes. Saliva was collected at proestrus, oestrus and diestrus stages of Group 1 and II animals and on a random day in Group III animals. CVF were collected only at oestrus stage of Group I and Group II buffaloes. Intense, intermediate and no oestrus signs were noticed in Group I, II and III buffaloes respectively. Non-significantly higher protein concentration was recorded in saliva and CVF during oestrus stage in Group I and II buffaloes.
