   Deworming and disinfestations of milch animals:
   1	Deworming and Disinfestations if carried out regularly will result in higher yields.	1	Absence of external parasites.
   2	Fertility treatment using Ovsynch protocol in repeat breeders as well as anoestrus cattle and buffaloes resulted in successful pregnancies.	2	Improvement in fecal consistency.
   		3	Farmers who had lost all hope and were about to sell their animals due to repeat breeding and anoestrus condition are happy and thankful for ovsynch protocol.
