Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the route of treatment on future fertility in dairy cows with toxic puerperal metritis. This study was carried out on a dairy farm in Al-Latifya south of Baghdad that comprises Holestien, Friesian crossbreeds. A total number of 46 dairy cows during early postpartum period infected with toxic puerperal metritis were selected out the rest of the herd that start calving from the beginning of November 2008 till the end of October the year after. According to the routes of treatment, they were allotted into four groups (10 cows) each. Systemic administration of oxytetracycline antibiotic gave the best result in this study when it was assessed by the reproductive performance achieved compared with other routes of treatment of the same antibiotic. Meanwhile high percentage of toxic puerperal metritis was recorded in cows suffering from dystocia and retained fetal membranes (69.5, 73.91% respectively). The result recorded that high percentage of dairy cows with toxic puerperal metritis were in primiparous (First calving) cows. According to the months of the year it was found that increased percentage of toxic puerperal metritis was recorded in cows calved during January and February (42.3, 31.8% respectively). Bacterial culture results showed that E.coil, Klebsiella spp staphylococcus spp, streptococcus spp, and proteus spp. were the common bacteria isolated from uteri of cows that suffered from toxic puerperal metritis.
