In the study, the ratios of assisted birth, RFM and metritis are found to be 24, 31 and 29%, respectively. Antibiogram tests performed on cows with metritis revealed that 6 cows were hypersensitive to oxytetracycline, 4 cows to enrofloxacine, 2 cows to gentamicine and 1 cow to amoxicillin. From among 45 postpartum cows used in the study, 28 (62.2%) tested positive for pregnancy. About 6 out of 11 cows giving assisted birth (54.5%), 7 out of 14 cows treated for RFM (50%) and 6 out of 13 cows (46%) treated for metritis were found to be pregnant. ER -
