Abstract:	The Yak/Chauries are raised in highlands of Nepal. They serve as mainstay of economy and life for the people in those areas. Infertility associated with several reproductive problems is the major constraints of Chauri production. This study investigated the prevalence of reproductive disorders and major causes of infertility with its treatment attempt in Chauries of Jiri area in Dolakha district. Questionnaire survey was carried out in 14 Chauri herds. Blood samples were collected (n=20) to examine brucellosis and fecal samples (n=69) for gastro-intestinal parasites egg count. Animals showing infertility problems were supplemented with vitamin+mineral mixture for 2 months (n=40) to see the response with estrus and mating followed by GnRH treatment in non-responding animals. Survey findings showed 33.45% animals with reproductive disorders, out of which retention of fetal membrane was the most common problem followed by anestrus, abortion and repeat breeding. Fecal examinations revealed 16% animals positive for intestinal helminths. The non pregnant animals had lower helminth prevalence and low egg count that suggested internal parasites cannot be attributed as the cause of infertility in the study area. Brucellosis was not detected in Chauries. The expression of estrus and mating after vitamin + mineral supplementation was higher (p infertility problem than those in control group without supplementation (70 % vs 35%). The overall response of supplementation and GnRH treatment was 75%. The results suggested nutritional deficiency as a major cause of infertility in Chauries that might have attributed to other reproductive disorders as well.
