Efficacy of Ozone and Other Alternative Intrauterine Therapies in Infectious Repeat Breeder Cows

Abstract

The study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Ozone, E. Coli LPS, Autologous plasma, Neem oil, and Lugol’s iodine in 100 infectious repeat breeder cows. The animals were divided in 5 different groups viz. Group-I, GroupII, Group-III, Group-IV and Group-V treated with Ozone @ 55µg/ml in 60ml distilled water, E. Coli LPS @100mcg in 30 ml sterile PBS, Autologous plasma @ 30 ml, Neem oil @ 10µg/ml in 30 ml distilled water, Lugol’s iodine 1:25 in 30ml normal saline, intrauterine route in 20 cases, respectively, Group-V of 20 animals was kept as control. AI was done in recovered cases. On follow up, recovery rate in treatment group were found as 75.00, 80.00, 65.00, 75.00 and 50.00 per cent in groups I to V, respectively. The conception rate was found as 68.42, 73.68, 55.00, 63.15 and 53.33 per cent in cows in Group-I to V, respectively after one month on the basis of animal not shown the oestrus signs. Pregnancy rate calculated after two months by per rectal examination and was observed 65.00, 70.00, 50.00, 60.00 and 40.00 per cent
cows from groups I to V, respectively. On conclusion, infectious repeat breeder cows treated with E. Coli LPS showed highest recovery rate, conception rate and pregnancy rate than the other treatment groups in this research study .
