Popis: This study aimed to evaluate the interference of daily gynecological exam on reproductive and productive parameters in Murrah buffaloes. Twenty-four buffaloes, which have calved in the autumn season, were milked once a day and kept on pasture, were divided into two groups: Research (RG; n=13) and Control (CG; n=11). The animals in RG were daily taken to the corral and submitted to gynecological examination and blood collection immediately after milking, from the 7th day postpartum until the first estrus and breeding day. Animals in CG were released directly to pasture after milking without any manipulation. The RG had smaller calving-first estrus interval (40.4±9.0 days) than CG (59.2±24.4 days; P0.05), as well as in milk production. The number of mating per conception was higher in RG (2.1±0.9) than in CG (1.5±0.5; P
