Descrição
Resumo:The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the postpartum bovine endometritis treatment by intrauterine and intramuscular administration of tetracycline. Forty six cross bred cows diagnosed by gynecological exam with postpartum endometritis were assigned randomly in two treatments: G1 (n=21) - animals were treated with one intramuscular (IM) dose of tetracycline (20 mg/Kg of body weight), while in G2 (n=25) animals were treated with one intrauterine (IU) dose of tetracycline (30 mg/Kg of body weight). No difference (p>0.05) was observed in the recovery rate between the two treatments (61.9 X 76.0%, G1 and G2, respectively). The interval from treatment until first estrous was 33.9±22.6 versus 14.8 ±10.9 days (P
