Abstract
During the postpartum period among the dairy cattle there are cases of bacteriological infection of the uterus tissues. This process occurs in over 90% of the herd. If the animal wasn’t provided with early effective treatment, acute inflammation becomes a chronic disease. After analyzing published data, it was concluded that hysteroscopic studies are not described enough. For this study 5 (n = 5) cows of Ukrainian black and white breed, aged 4 to 6 years were selected, which had not shown estrus for over 25 days. Diagnosis was reached by hysteroscopy of uterus. Analysis of the data has proved that area size of bright red color of uterus with subclinical endometritis was – 57.6 ± 5.2%, whereas after the treatment with «Metrodek» it decreased by more than 7 times – 7.3 ± 1.6% (p < 0.001); area of exudate in the uterus with subclinical endmometritis was – 59.3 ± 6.5%, whereas after the treatment with «Metrodek» decreased about 11 times – 5.4 ± 1.1 % (p < 0,001).
Highlights
During the postpartum period among the dairy cattle there are cases of bacteriological infection of the uterus tissues
The main diagnostic methods of acute inflammation in the uterus are a clinical study that involves rectal palpation, vaginal and ultrasound study, but they do not give a complete picture of the endometrium condition, whereas rectal palpation may give false positive results (Leutert et al, 2012)
The aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hysteroscopy of subclinical endometritis and to provide treatment of subclinical endometritis with «Metrodek»
Summary
During the postpartum period among the dairy cattle there are cases of bacteriological infection of the uterus tissues. This process occurs in over 90% of the herd. It happens within three weeks after parturition, but this term is not a limit and as a result of inflammation endometritis develops, whose number reaches 20% (Šavc et al, 2016). The main diagnostic methods of acute inflammation in the uterus are a clinical study that involves rectal palpation, vaginal and ultrasound study, but they do not give a complete picture of the endometrium condition, whereas rectal palpation may give false positive results (Leutert et al, 2012). For diagnostics of subclinical endometritis except the above– mentioned methods, cytology (Madoz et al, 2010) can be used, but according to some authors it is an expensive method that takes too much time (Šavc et al, 2016)
