The study evaluated the efficacy of intrauterine infusion of different antimicrobial agents on treatment and improving conception rate in endometritic crossbred cows. A total of 110 crossbred cows diagnosed for endometritis were randomly divided into 4 groups i.e. group-1, 2, 3 and 4. In group 1 (n=30), Oxytetracycline hydrochloride, in group 2 (n =30), Levofloxacin + Ornidazole + α-Tocopherol, in group-3 (n=30), Cephalexin and in group 4 (n = 20) considered as untreated control, sterile normal saline solution was infused intrauterine for 3 consecutive days respectively. The clinical efficacy was assessed by clear uterine discharge, pH reduction and negative reaction to white side test in cervico-vaginal mucus (CVM) at subsequent estrus. The results indicated that treatment and conception rate of endometritic cows were 90% (27/30), 93.33% (28/30), 86.66% (26/30), 20% (4/20) and 77.77% (21/27), 89.28% (25/28), 76.92% (20/26) 25% (1/4) respectively in Oxytetracycline hydrochloride, Levofloxacin + Ornidazole + α-Tocopherol, Cephalexin treated groups and normal saline infused control group of animals.
