Abstract
The present investigation was conducted to study the effect of intra uterine infusion of 20 ml
Lugol’s iodine (0.25 %) on day 5 (Group I; n= 18), day 17 (Group II n= 17) on reproductive
performance as compared to untreated animals (Group III; n= 18). The average inter estrus
interval in the animals in treatment group I (14.12 ± 0.396 days) was significantly (P<0.01)
shorter than group II (23.93 ± 0.330 days) and control group III (20.93 ± 0.870 days). The
average duration (days) for first postpartum fertile estrus was shortest (88.93 ± 10.053 days)
in group I, followed by group II (106.46 ± 8.743 days) and control group III (113.72 ± 7.131
days). The number of artificial insemination (A.I.) required per conception was observed to
be only 1.38 in group I while the values were 1.50 and 1.91 for group II and III, respectively.
