The repeat breeder crossbred endometritic cows (N = 30) were divided into three groups (n= 10, each), as Group I (Gentamicin IU given 6 hrs post insemination) Group II (Cephapirin given 6 hrs post insemination) and Group III (control cows, no IU antibiotic treatment has been given). The cows in estrus were inseminated twice (12 hours apart) with good quality frozen thawed semen. Cervico-vaginal mucus and blood sample was collected and physic-biochemical properties (appearance, consistency, Whiteside test, pH, Total bacterial load) and Serum amyloid-A were evaluated respectively. The overall conception rate in different group (I to III) of cows was 60, 20 and 10 %, respectively. On the basis of recovery rate as well as conception rate Gentamicin was found to be the best compared to Cephapirin.
• Getamicin provided effective recovery rate of repeat breeder cows.
• Subclinical endometritis in cows can effectively treat with Gentamicin IU therapy.
