Physico-Chemical Characterstics of Cervical Discharge in Endometritic Repeat Breeder Cow

Cattle and buffalo encounter several reproductive problems during their productive life. Among various reproductive problems, Anoestrus and Repeat breeding are the two important problems which reduce fertility as well as productivity of the animals. A healthy uterus is the basis for high submission and conception rates. Vaginal discharge of animals may be turbid, thick and mucopurulent due to uterine and cervical infection. Cows with purulent, mucopurulent estrual discharge or containing white flakes and positive reaction to whiteside test is considered positive for endometritis. Forty (n=40) endometritic affected repeat breeder cows were selected which, were presented at veterinary hospital lying adjacent to Kumarganj area (Khandasha) and animal of villages in vicinity of university. The diseased cows were divided into five groups (G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5), each comprising of eight (n=8) animals. Overall recovery rate in the form of negative whiteside test was observed as 87.50% for levofloxacin, 75.00% for Giloy, 50.00 % for Ashwagandha & 75.00 % for Ashwagandha and Giloy combination and the conception rate was recorded as 75%, 50%, 37.50% & 50% for levofloxacin, Giloy, Ashwagandha & its combination. On the basis of present study, it is concluded that levofloxacin, Giloy, Ashwagandha and its combination have effective roll in the treatment of endometris in cows. Levofloxacin is more effective than ethno-veterinary medicine. Giloy, Ashwagandha and its combination having an immunomodulator, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory & anti-infective properties which can be utilize as alternative low cost medicine for treatment of endometritis in repeat breeder cows.
