“…The antibiotic activity of 1 mg of biologically active principle allicin in garlic is equated to that of 15 IU of penicillin (Sadanandan et al, 2014). The conception rate in garlic treated animals was 50% and our results are in accordance with Alagar et al (2018) who reported 50% conception rate in endometritis affected buffaloes treated with garlic extract and suggested that the treatment with garlic showed regeneration of submucosal endometrial gland and hyperplasia of the glandular cells which resulted in fully grown surface epithelium in buffaloes. Improved recovery rate and conception rate were obtained by Kumar et al (2009) and Kumar et al (2013) in buffaloes treated with garlic extract.…”

Background: Endometritis is one of the major causes of subfertility in bovines. The present study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of ethanolic extracts of garlic, turmeric and eucalyptus in the treatment of bovine endometritic as an alternative to antibiotics. Methods: Forty crossbred cows affected with endometritis were equally divided into 4 groups. Group I (control) cows were treated intrauterinely (i.u) with streptopenicillin 2.5 g + 30 ml normal saline for 3 days and group II, III and IV cows were treated (i.u) with 30-40 ml of ethanolic extract of garlic, turmeric and eucalyptus for 3 consecutive days. The animals were inseminated artificially on subsequent estrus after the treatment. Result: Bacterial count in uterine flushing declined significantly after treatment in all the four groups. The percentage of reduction in bacterial count was higher in garlic treated cows than in control and other treatment groups. A significant increase in percentage of PMNs was found after treatment in all the groups. The overall conception rate was 40% in control group, 50% in group II and 30% in group III and IV. It was concluded that ethanolic extract of garlic for the treatment of endometritis resulted in better conception rate and significantly higher percentage reduction of bacterial load than other treatment and control groups.
