Abstract
Background: Reproductive disorders have been found to be a major reason for decreased reproductive efficiency in animals. The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of different treatment for various reproductive diseases of domestic animals in Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh. Methods: A total of 100 animals were registered for treatment during the study period. Among those 59 cattle, 9 goats and 1 turkey were treated for reproduction related diseases. On the other hand, 28 cows and 3 goats were bought for regular pregnancy diagnosis. Standard procedures were followed for the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases. Results: Among the reproductive diseases of cattle, conception failure was 37.29% (n=22), uterine infection was 33.89% (n=20), anestrous was 13.56% (n=8), repeat breeding was 5.08% (n=3), vaginal prolapse was 3.39% (n=2), pastular vulvo-vaginitis was 1.69% (n=1) and ovarian hypoplasia was 1.69% (n=1). Only 2 bulls 3.39% (n=2) were diagnosed with posthitis. In goats, retention of placenta was 66.67% (n=6), abortion was 22.22% (n=2) and anestrous was 11.11% (n=1). There was one turkey with cloacal prolapse. All the animals having reproductive disease were treated in VTH. There was 93.22% improvement/effectiveness found in cows. The turkey and goats show 100% effectiveness of treatment. Conclusion: We can conclude that the most common reproductive diseases of cattle and goats in Bangladesh are uterine infection, anestrous, conception failure, pastular vulvo-vaginitis, vaginal prolapse, repeat breeding syndrome, abortion, retention of placenta and posthitis. Any disease or disorder of the genital tract may affect the reproduction as well as the production and fertility. Therefore, it is important to be concerned about the treatment and management of the diseases of the genital tract. Careful management and treatment of these diseases will ultimately help to increase the animal’s productivity in Bangladesh. The treatment given in VTH, BAU are successful for recovery.

Farmers have limited knowledge about hygiene and reproductive management of domestic animals. Faulty management practices such as failure to identify oestrus correctly, poor herd management practices and record keeping are the greatest causes of reproductive disorders in a domestic animal, to mention a few (Waldner and García Guerra, 2013; Crowe et al, 2018)
Summary
Reproductive disorders are the major causes of reduced productivity in domestic animals. Farmers have limited knowledge about hygiene and reproductive management of domestic animals. Faulty management practices such as failure to identify oestrus correctly, poor herd management practices and record keeping are the greatest causes of reproductive disorders in a domestic animal, to mention a few (Waldner and García Guerra, 2013; Crowe et al, 2018). Common reproductive diseases of domestic female animals are anestrous, repeat breeder, uterine infection, poor heat detection, ovarian cyst, early embryonic death, retained placenta, dystocia, and pyometra. Reproductive disorders have been found to be a major reason for decreased reproductive efficiency in animals.
