The present study was conducted from December 2015 to February 2017 on a local breeds and Holstein Friesian with 88 cows (age 4-12).
Metritis was diagnosed by clinical examinations using gloved hand and rectal uterine palpation as well as by bacteriological examinations using swabs.
Antibiotic therapy was applied for the treatment of metritis in cow followed by one injection of luteinizing hormone.
Examined cows were randomly divided into five groups.
In group A (n=15), administration of oxytetracycline was used for one day.
Group B (n = 18), received lugols iodine for one day.
Group C (n = 22), received penicillin with streptomaycin for one day.
Group D (n=7) received intramuscular administration of gentamycin for one day.
Finally, group E (n=26) received safapirin for one day .
All treatment followed by one injection of luteinizing hormone.
Different type of bacteria was isolated from the cow uterus including Escherichia coli (40%), Proteus vulgaris (13.63 %), Corynebacterium pyogenes (6.81%), Staphylococcus pyogenes (20.45 %), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.68 %), and Streptococcus spp.(7.95%).
E.
coli was frequently isolated from the cow uterus (40 %).
Safapirin and penicillin-streptomaycin were the most effective in treating metritis as they represented 84.61% and 81.81%, respectively.
Lugols iodine and oxytetracycline, were also considerably effective in treating metritis as they represented 61.11% and 60.00%, whereas gentamycin intramuscularly accounted about 28.57 %.
