Abstract: The present study was designed to evaluate the poly herbal supplementation (Restobal^®, M/s Ayurvet Limited) against the management of parturition stress in periparturient buffaloes. Twenty apparently healthy buffaloes at advanced pregnancy were selected and divided into two equal groups. Group I buffaloes (control) were not administered any supplementation and buffaloes under group II (treatment) was administered with oral poly herbal supplementation anti stressors product (Restobal) for the period of five days before and after the parturition. Buffaloes under group II showed the significant changes in clinical parameters and increased levels of packed cell volume, elevation of total leukocyte and lymphocyte count and serum glutathione peroxidase levels and reduced serum cortisol levels when compared with the buffaloes in group I (control). The present study concluded that polyherbal anti stressor product which contains Ocimum sanctum, Phyllanthus emblica, Mangifera indica and Withania somnifera (Restobal^®, M/s Ayurvet Limited) is recommended in the management of parturition stress during the periparturient buffaloes.
