The present experimental study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of estrus synchronization protocols in Sahiwal heifers at the Dairy Farm Unit of the Livestock Farm Complex, College of Veterinary Science, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The investigation focused on comparison of synchronization protocols based on Kisspeptin and GnRH. Eighteen healthy, non-pregnant Sahiwal heifers with a body condition score ranging from 3.0 to 3.5 were selected for the study and were randomly allotted into three equal groups. Group I, II were subjected to the kisspeptin, GnRH based protocol and Group III served as control group. Parameters such as Estrus response rate, onset, intensity, and duration of estrus were recorded in all the three groups. Among the synchronization protocols evaluated, the kisspeptin based protocol showed superior estrus response and earlier onset of estrus compared to the Ovsynch and control groups, without altering estrus duration.
