Abstract : Present study was carried out on 2160 respondent and observations were pooled to study the reproductive problem retention of placenta, on the basis of season, parity, farmer's categories, locations and managemental practices using locally available resources. It was observed that the overall incidence of retention of placenta was 6.77 percent among the 2701 observations. Highest numbers of buffaloes were found in problems as 6.10 and 10.06 percent in spring and rainy seasons, 10.75 and 11.44 percent in 3rd & more then (>) 3rd calvers and 7.58, 8.29 percent among the buffaloes belonging to large & small farmers categories, respectively. Statistically, season and parity orders were found to have highly significant effect on this trait. To overcome this problem most (89.81 percent) of the buffalo owners provided Kada (250 gm Gur (Jagery)+10-15 gm). Ajwain (Carum copticum)+Ghee or mustard and 82.83 percent respondents were feeding Gur (Jagery)+Mustards seeds+Cotton seeds to dropout the retained placenta. Feeding of mango (Mangifera indica) leaves was practiced by 22.41 percent of respondents for the same purpose.
