Abstract
The study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Garlic (Allium sativum) extract in 20 infectious repeat breeder crossbred cows. Animals were divided into two groups of ten in each. The animals in first group were treated intrauterine with 30 ml 15% Garlic extract w/v dissolved in saline at 24 hrs interval for 7 days, while the animals in control group were infused with 30 ml saline for 7 days. Bacterial count in uterine flushing declined significantly (p less than 0.05) after treatment in Garlic group. A significant increase (p less than 0.05) in total cellular count and PMNs % was found in Garlic group than in control group. An overall recovery rate of 80 vs 20 % and conception rate of 60 vs 10 % was found in Garlic treated cows over control placebo group proving its efficacy in infectious repeat breeders.
