Pluriparous buffaloes were screened using transrectal ultrasonography from day 0 to day 90 at 10 days interval and divided into two groups: I (n=7; buffaloes ovulated 90 days post - partum). Blood samples were collected in both groups at day 0, 10, 20 and 30 post - partum (day 0 considered as calving day) with BW, BCS and milk production observations during first month of lactation. In cyclic buffaloes, serum albumin was higher as compared to acyclic group. In addition, leptin, BW, BCS and milk yield differed with time. Significant correlation between BHBA, IGF - 1, leptin and albumin in group I was observed. In conclusion, blood metabolites (albumin, BHBA, IGF - 1 and leptin) were significantly correlated with each other in cyclic post - partum buffaloes, but not in acyclic group.Not Availabl
