TL;DR: Fertility was consistently lower under all temperature changes when maximum temperatures on the day of breeding were greater than or equal to 33 degrees C, and also when temperature decreases around the time of breeding, below the previously mentioned high maximum temperatures, were accompanied by higher conception rates.

TL;DR: Review of the available literature on controlled studies in dairy buffaloes revealed that first ovulation as detected by rectal palpation and progesterone analysis occurred between 28-71 and 24-55 days, respectively, after calving, while postpartum estrus in the same studies occurred between 44 and 87 days.

TL;DR: Regression equations were devised for predicting the developmental age of foetuses from morphological criteria with a fair degree of accuracy, and the weight of the empty uterus, foetal membranes and foetus increased steadily throughout pregnancy.

TL;DR: The breeding season in the camel appears to be longer than was previously thought, and the presence of a large and well developed CL which is maintained throughout pregnancy can be a valuable tool for assessing early pregnancy in camels.

TL;DR: Uterine involution does not seem to be a limiting factor for achievement of satisfactory fertility in the postpartum buffalo but the main determinant is resumption of estrous activity.
