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.
