Results of comparison of the traditional treatment regimen for acute postpartum endometritis in cattle and the regimen without the use of intrauterine drugs

Abstract

The health status of individual reproductive organ and the reproductive system as a whole is of exceptional importance. It is especially true for the last stage of the labor process, when the placenta is separated, the cervical canal is largely open, which creates a "gateway" for infection, and the clinical picture is exacerbated against the background of reduced immunity and hypoelementosis of Ca, P, Fe, Se. The study was carried out on the basis of Kaluzhskoe JV LLC, which has the status of a pedigree reproducer for breeding Holstein cattle, on 45 cows of a new calving group with a live weight of 550-600 kg with an average milk yield of 9000 liters. The article analyzes three treatment regimens in two experimental and one control groups of cows with acute postpartum endometritis. Two experimental groups of cows were treated with antibiotic, uterine contraction drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. For the first experimental group additionally were used intrauterine drugs. For the control group was used non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs and rectal massage of the uterus. As a result of the study it was established that estrus in cow of the first group occurred earlier than in the second, but fertilization in the second groups was 13,3 % higher, than in first. The reason is the introduction of intrauterine medicinal solutions that violate the natural microflora of the uterus, endometrial injuries and the penetration of pathogenic microflora from the vulva during manipulation. The absence of antibiotics and uterine contraction drugs in the treatment regimen of cows in the control group was the reason for low reproduction rates.
