The present study was designed to observe the effect of supplementation of PUFA enriched diet on Cholesterol concentration and how it affects the progesterone concentration and conception. Flax seeds, source of PUFA of the Omega-3 family were fed @ 300 g/100 kg body wt/day orally for 21 days to the animals as a supplement with routine diet. Blood sampling was done in recipient cows at 0, 7, 14 and 21 days of estrous cycle. Donor (n=6) and crossbred recipient cows (n=24) were selected and divided into four groups viz; control (no treatment), T-1 (treatment given to recipient only), T-2 (treatment given to donor only) and T-3 (treatment given to both recipient and donor). According to results recipients reshuffles in three group, non treated non pregnant, treated non pregnant and treated pregnant and comparison done in these three groups. The Cholesterol concentration differs nonsignificantly between non treated non pregnant and treated non pregnant but differs significantly with treated pregnant (164.19 ± 2.05, 210.90 ± 2.80, and 222.81 ± 0.79 mg/dl) and similar result found with Progesterone concentration (4.80 ± 0.51, 7.68 ± 0.75, and 8.02 ± 0.58 ng/ml). On the basis of result, it can be concluded that cholestereol and progesterone concentration vary in similar fashion in all groups and the flax seeds supplementation may helps in conception with increasing Progesterone and Cholesterol Concentration.
