Description
Summary:•Mastitis disrupts the functioning of the mean diameter of pre-ovulatory follicle.•Mastitis lowered plasma estradiol concentration on the day of estrus.•Mastitis has a multiple actions that hinder corpus luteum development and function.•Mastitis decreased pregnancy consequence of buffaloes. The objectives of this study was to investigate the outcome of mastitis, in its clinical or subclinical forms, on the mean diameter of pre-ovulatory follicle (POF), plasma estradiol concentration on the day of estrus, subsequent luteal profile and subsequent conception rate in buffaloes. Sixty dairy buffalo (Bubalus bubalus) conducted in this study were divided into three groups {healthy (H), n=20; subclinical mastitis (SCM), n=18; and clinical mastitis (CM), n=22}. Ultrasonography of ovaries revealed that mean diameter of POF was larger (P
