Abstract
Reproductive performance of dairy cows (Sheldon et al, 2006) and farm economic efficiency (Bartlett et al, 1986, Drillich et al, 1994, Guard et al, 1994) are related to the health status of the uterus at the end of the voluntary waiting period. Uterine diseases affect about half of dairy cows in the postpartum period (Klucinski et al, 1990, Leblanc et al, 2008) and cause infertility by disrupting uterine and ovarian functions (William et al, 2005).
 The hypothesis of the current study was that treatment with antibiotic would improve uterine health and reproductive efficiency in dairy cows with uterine infection. The objective was to assess the efficacy of cephapirin intrauterine treatment preceding a timed Al protocol in lactating cows with purulent vaginal discharge (PVD) and cytological endometritis (CYT).
