nything that compromises sow milk yield would be expected to have a negative impact on piglet performance. Periparturient hypogalactia syndrome has been associated with endometritis.1 Most sow herds have some incidence of endometritis, with reported incidences ranging from 1.1%–37.2% for different herds.2 Recent interest has focused on the postpartum administration of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) ...

The study aimed to investigate the bacterial etiology of endometritis and in vitro antibiotic sensitivity of the isolates in dromedary camels admitted to a clinic.
