The present study was outlined to determine the grades of non-specific bacterial infection in endometritic cattle by a rapid test under field condition. White side test was performed on estrual mucus to confirm endometritis. For this purpose, Forty eight crossbred cows with endometritis and eight healthy cows were selected based on history of repeat breeding, thorough per rectal examination and physico-chemical characteristic of cervical mucus. Cows with purulent or muco-purulent estrual discharge or containing white flakes and positive reaction to white side test were considered positive for endometritis. The white side test had a significant positive correlation with pH, bacterial load in CVM. Similarly, the pH of CVM revealed significant positive correlation with bacterial load in CVM.
