    abstract = {We compared the effects of the intrauterine application of an extract of <I> Pelargonium sidoides</I> (EPs 7630) to parenteral antibiotic injection in the treatment of chronic endometritis, which is commonly encountered postpartum in cows. Forty six cows diagnosed with chronic endometritis 21-27 days postpartum were selected and divided into three groups. Cows in group 1 (n = 16) received a physiological parenteral injection of 10 mL of serum per day for 3 days. Similarly, cows in group 2 (n = 15) received 1 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> ceftiofur (Ceftivil<SUP>&reg;</SUP>) parenterally. Those in group 3 (n = 15) received an 8 mg (10 mL)/cow intrauterine dose of EPs 7630 (Umca<SUP>&reg;</SUP>) for 3 days. When examined between the 35th and 41st day, clinical recovery rates were found to be as follows: for group 1, 1/16 (6.2%); for group 2, 8/15 (53.3%) and for group 3, 4/15 (26.69%). After this examination, cows whose chronic entrometritis symptoms persisted according to clinical and rectal examination received a further 3 days of the treatment appropriate to their group. Later on various parameters were identified thus, for groups 1-3, respectively: insemination rate 87.5, 66.6 and 93.3%; days to first service 103.5, 91.0 and 96.0; first service conception rate 28.5, 40.0 and 35.7%; days open 140, 120 and 131 and cows pregnant within 250 DIM 56.25, 80.0 and 66.6%.}
