Abstract
The present study consists of Jersey cross bred cows brought to MadrasVeterinary College-Teaching Hospital, determined to be normal,
based on absence of abnormal uterine discharge at the time of estrus. Thorough clinical examination, rectal examination and laboratory evaluations
viz. White SideTest (WST), Leucocyte Esterase strip test and Endometrial Cytology (EC) were performed to con"rm subclinical endometritis. The
cows under study were divided into two groups; GroupAcows (n=6) treated with Inj. Streptopenicillin 5g total dose (IM) for three consecutive days
followed by Inj. Cloprostenol 500μg (IM) on the seventh day of the cycle. Group B cows (n=6) treated with Inj. Streptopenicillin 5g (IM) along
with 20ml Povidone Iodine diluted with 20ml sterile water, intra uterine, for three consecutive days. All the treated cows were subjected to
laboratory re-evaluations and inseminated on the following estrum. Improved conception rate was observed in Group A (83.33%) compared to
Group B (66.66%) which indicates the immunomodulatory effect of cloprostenol. However, no statistical difference in conception rates were
observed between the treatment groups, which may be due to smaller sample size, thus further research is warranted.
