Follicular wave patterns were studied in anoestrous buffaloes before (Group-I, control, n=5) and after either progesterone (Group-II, n=5) or progesterone + Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotrophins (Group-III, n=6) therapy. Two-wave pattern (50% buffaloes) was predominant, followed by 3-wave (38%) and one-wave pattern (12%). None of the treatment affected the wave-patterns. However, inter-wave period was reduced to 6 days after P4 + PMSG treatment. None of the buffaloes resumed cyclicity after P4 treatment whereas, 67% buffaloes became cyclic following P4+PMSG therapy. In conclusion, the follicular growth in anoestrous buffaloes occurs in waves but follicles failed ovulation.
