The present study was conducted on 15 delayed pubertal cross-bred heifers. Animals were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (insulin treated, n=8) and Group B (control, n=7). The animals of the treatment group were administered long acting bovine insulin @ 0.25 IU/kg body weight, once daily subcutaneously for 5 consecutive days. No treatment was given in control animals. 75% insulin treated animals were induced in estrus with 83.3% over all conception. However, none induced in control group.
