Abstract

Thirty-two cervical mucus sample from repeat breeder bovine animals (19 cattle and 13 buffaloes) were obtained aseptically to know the bacterial spectrum, antibiotic sensitivity pattern and conception rate. Overall results of different isolates obtained were Eschrichia coli (59.37%), Corynebacterium pyogens (37.50%), Psudomonas aeruginosa (28.12%), Staphylococcus aureus (21.87%), Streptococcus (9.23%), Klebsiella aerogenes (6.25%), and Unidentified Gram positive rods (3.12%). The antibiotic sensitivity test of the samples was found sensitive to Ciprofloxacin (93.75%) was most effective drug followed by Gentamicin (84.37%) and Chloremphenicol (78.12%). The animal treated based on sensitivity test, with Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin and Chloramphenicol and untreated group revealed 87.50%, 75.00%, 50.00%and 25.00% conception rate respectively.
