Abstract

Intrauterine therapy with 100 μg £. coli LPS was evaluated for its therapeutic efficacy in crossbred cows with
endometritis and was compared with conventional antibiotic therapy based on in-vitro antibiogram. At pre-treatment and
post-treatment estrus, estrual cervical mucus was studied for change in appearance, white side test, pH and bacterial load. The
conception rate was high in LPS group (71.43%) followed by antibiotic group (57.14%) with low conception rate in control
group cows (28.52%). Hence, it is concluded that intrauterine infusion of 100 μg E.coli LPS is a better alternative to
conventional antibiotic treatment in cows with endometritis.
