The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of FinaBan 102 (Pure Calcium Propionate) supplementation in transition period in Buffaloes with respect to metabolic disorders such as milk fever, ketosis, udder development and post-calving performance under field conditions. The study was conducted at Noble Dairy Farm, Aarey colony, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. A total of 100 buffaloes were selected based on a similar physical condition and divided into control and treatment group each having 50 animals. The experiment was conducted for 3 months, i.e. Sept. 2025-Nov.2025, with an adaptation period of 15 days. In each month, during first 15 days, animals were supplemented with FinaBan 102 at 25 gms animal⁻¹ day⁻¹. During last 15 days i.e. 16-30 days, the animals were supplemented with 50 gms animal⁻¹ day⁻¹. Then, the results were compared with animals who did not receive FinaBan 102 (Pure Calcium Propionate) supplementation. The supplement was mixed uniformly with the daily ration. All other management and feeding practices remained unchanged during the study period. Supplementation with FinaBan 102 reduced the incidence of ketosis by 50%, milk fever by 100%, mastitis by 50%, and Retention of Placenta by 75%. Compared to the control group, the number of cases decreased from 2 to 1 for ketosis, 3 to 0 for milk fever, 2 to 1 for mastitis, and 4 to 1 for Retention of Placenta.
