Effect of Ciprofloxacin therapy in endometritis of cows

Abstract

Intrauterine infusion of commercial ciprofloxacin was given to cows suffering from different degrees of
endometritis. Ciprofloxacin was administered at the dose rate of 750 mg in combination with 900 mg tinidazole for 3-5 days, to cows with endometritis (starting from the day of estrus=dayO). The cervico-vaginal discharge in subsequent estrus of 87.5% cows with+ degree and 66.7% cows with++ degree of endometritis became clear
whereas 26.6% of total treated cows continued to show flakes of pus in subsequent estrus and were treated again. Seven(7/15) treated cows conceived. The study indicated that ciprofloxacin might be useful in the therapy of endometritis in cows.
