Analysis of the effectiveness of treatment of acute postpartum endometritis in cows

Abstract

The aim of the study is to study the effectiveness of the traditional treatment regimen for acute postpartum endometritis in cows on a farm. The study was conducted in the dairy industry. The object of the study was cows of a red-mottled breed. A retrospective analysis of the spread of obstetric and gynecological diseases in cows was carried out. It was found that endometritis is most common – in 72.1–77.9% of the total number of sick animals. The dynamics of the incidence of cows with acute postpartum endometritis was studied, which amounted to: in 2019 – 16.4%, in 2020 – 15.3% of calved cows. To identify the therapeutic effectiveness of the traditional endometritis treatment regimen, a group of seven cows with signs of catarrhal purulent endometritis was formed. The therapeutic effectiveness of the traditional treatment regimen for acute endometritis in young cows with a single application ensures the clinical recovery of animals in 85.7% of cases. However, 28.6% of treated cows subsequently had a subclinical form of endometritis, which reduces the effectiveness of the applied scheme to 57.1% and contributes to a 7.7% prolongation of service life.
