Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of uterine lavage, and parenteral administration of Levamisole (s/c), PGF2alpha (i/m) and their combinations on blood biochemistry and fertility outcomes in endometritic buffaloes. Thirty-six repeat breeder buffaloes were randomly assigned into six groups. Six animals were kept as positive control (G0, no treatment, only sexual rest), and the rest were assigned to five treatment groups, i.e., G1 (Uterine Lavage), G2 (Levamisole s/c), G3 (Cloprostenol i/m), G4 (Uterine Lavage + Levamisole s/c) and G5 (Uterine Lavage + Cloprostenol i/m). After treatment significant (p<0.05) drops in serum cholesterol and AST level were noted, whereas a significant increase in glucose level was recorded in all five treatment groups. The clinical cure rate was observed as 33.33, 50.00, 66.67, 66.67, 83.33 and 83.33% in G0, G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5, respectively. The corresponding conception rates were 16.67, 33.33, 50.00, 50.00, 66.67 and 66.67 %. The results inferred that uterine lavage along with levamisole or cloprostenol can be used effectively to manage endometrtitic buffaloes.
