Abstract
The aim of the study was comparison of therapy effects in puerperal metritis treatment with pessaries containing oxytetracycline (control group – 13 cows) or with uterus flushing with 1% Vagothyl solution (experimental group – 12 cows). It took, from delivery to start of the treatment, 3 – 5 days. Before the treatment in both, control and experimental groups the swabs from uterine cervix were taken and took through bacteriological examination. Next bacteriological examinations were made between 4 – 5 weeks and 8 – 9 weeks after parturition to control the effects of the therapy. At the beginning of our treatment the most common bacteria were E. coli, Staph. spp. and Strep. spp. In bacteriological examination 4 – 5 weeks after delivery in 5 cows from control and experimental groups among different bacteria were also found Arcanobacterium pyogenes, and 3 from those cows exhibited signs of endometritis. In 8 – 9 weeks the number of cows with A. pyogenes fell down to 3 cows in control group and 2 cows in experimental group. There were any clinical signs of endometritis, and the number of aseptic swabs amount to 8 in each group.
