Maximizing the reproductive performances of anestrus dairy buffalo cows using GnRH analogue-loaded chitosan nanoparticles during the low breeding season.

The present study was designed to evaluate the efficiency of GnRH-loaded chitosan-TPP nanoparticles (GnRH-CsNPs) to improve the reproductive performance of anestrus buffaloes during the summer. Egyptian buffaloes (n = 50) were synchronized for estrus either with the ovsynch protocol (OVSs, n = 20) or with the modified ovsynch protocol (OVSm, n = 30) using GnRH-CsNPs. Sera samples were collected on days 0, 7, and 10 (insemination day); and days15 and 30 post insemination for estradiol (E) and progesterone (P) determination.
