The use of metricur for the treatment of catarrhal endometritis in cows

The existing experience in the fight against cow endometritis, based on individual, often one-time, measures for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this disease, has shown their low effectiveness, therefore, in each farm it is necessary to organize a planned system of measures for the prevention of cow endometritis. In order to achieve sustainable results in the treatment of cow endometritis, it is necessary to include elements of etiotropic, symptomatic and pathogenetic therapy in the complex of measures aimed at increasing the contractility of the uterus and increasing the defenses of the animal's body. Etiopathogenetic treatment is based on the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The basis of antibacterial therapy aimed at removing exudate from the uterine cavity and suppressing pathogenic microflora in it, most often consists of combinations of antibiotics and antimicrobial agents: macrolides with nitroimidazoles; fluoroquinolones with nitroimidazoles; cephalosporins of the third generation. It should be noted that the use of chemotherapeutic and antibiotic drugs for the treatment of cows with postpartum endometritis, has an irritating effect on the uterine mucosa, causes the development of resistance of microorganisms to these drugs. Medicines accumulate in the body of lactating cows, are excreted with milk, and therefore milk from sick animals cannot be allowed to be sold. Nevertheless, in most cases, it is not possible to abandon the use of antibacterial drugs, since, if chosen correctly, they are aimed at the cause of the disease and are an important component of complex therapy. Symptomatic therapy is aimed at restoring the tone and contractility of the uterus. The paper presents studies aimed at improving the effectiveness of therapeutic measures for endometritis of cows.
