Trial carried out to study the efficacy of GnRH administration in early post-partum cows revealed that it was possible to reduce the interval from calving to first postpartum oestrus and thus to reduce the service period remarkably to an average of 69.77 days, making it possible to obtain an annual calf crop of one. Considerable reduction in dry period coupled with annual calf crop of one make this treatment cost-effective.
