Assessment of complex treatment schemes for cows with postpartum endometritis and the efficiency of their subsequent insemination

Abstract

Purpose: сomparing the effectiveness of the proposed protocols for the treatment of cows with acute postpartum endometritis and establishing the effectiveness and the terms of their subsequent insemination.

Materials and methods. 47 Cows of the Holstein-Frisan breed, which are on the binding content, were examined. All these animals were provided with obstetric care. As a result of their clinical inspection, 16 goals with an acute form of postpartum endometritis were revealed. Of these animals, two groups of 8 goals formed in each on the principle of pairs of analogues. When making a diagnosis, anamnesis, clinical signs of the disease and the results of an ultrasound of the study were taken into account. The first group included animals whose treatment regimen included intrauterine administration of Tilocar and intramuscular Uteroton. In the second group of cows, a 0.5 % Novocaine solution was additionally injected intravenously, according to the instructions.

Results. The study revealed that the animals in the second group recovered three days faster (11.13±0.39 days) than the first group (14.25±0.37 days). We used the odds ratio. The second group of cows, where an additional 0.5 % of the Novocaine solution was administered, was found to be 2.78 times more likely to become pregnant than those treated without it.
