Online published on 16 September, 2024. Abstract The study was focused on evaluating effects of anionic-immunity booster supplementation during transition period in advanced pregnant Mehsana buffaloes. The buffaloes were grouped as treatment group (n=10) supplemented with Anions-Immunity booster preparation at 50 grams twice daily orally approximately ten days prior to expected parturition and control group (n=10) maintained on conventional feeding practice without any supplementation. The blood glucose, liver enzyme activity, serum biochemicals, minerals and electrolytes, oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine were estimated in both groups. The serum albumin, SGOT, calcium, sodium, malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase activity showed significant (P<0.05) differences between control and treatment groups. The total number of services per conception was higher in control compared to treatment group (5.75 vs. 2.57). The pregnancy rate was more than double in treatment group compared to control group (38.88 vs. 17.39 percent). The supplementation of anion-immunity booster for ten days prior to parturition improved reproductive performance in Mehsana buffaloes.
