EFFICACY OF INTRAUTERINE INFUSION OF DIFFERENT ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS ON CONCEPTION RATE OF REPEAT BREEDER DAIRYCROSS BRED COWS

摘要

The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different intrauterine agents on conception rates of repeat breeder cows. Forty repeat breeder cows having slightly turbid vaginal discharge were taken in the present investigation and were randomly divided into four treatment groups with 10 animals in each group. In group I, 50 ml of 1% lugol's iodine, in group II, 8 ml e ^-ofloxacin diluted with 12 ml of normal saline solution, in group III, Cephalexin @ 4 gm diluted with 60 ml distilled water and in group IV, levofloxacin + ornidazole + a -tocopherol combination @ 60 ml was infused intrauterine for 3 consecutive days. After treatment the cows were inseminated artificially using frozen thawed semen of acceptable quality. Pregnancy diagnosis was performed by per rectal palpation at 60 days post insemination. The conception rates were 30.00%; 40.00%; 60.00% and 60.00% for group I; II; III and IV respectively.
