Abstract

During the postpartum period among the dairy cattle there are cases of bacteriological infection of the uterus tissues. This process occurs in over 90% of the herd. If the animal wasn’t provided with early effective treatment, acute inflammation becomes a chronic disease. After analyzing published data, it was concluded that hysteroscopic studies are not described enough. For this study 5 (n = 5) cows of Ukrainian black and white breed, aged 4 to 6 years were selected, which had not shown estrus for over 25 days. Diagnosis was reached by hysteroscopy of uterus. Analysis of the data has proved that area size of bright red color of uterus with subclinical endometritis was – 57.6 ± 5.2%, whereas after the treatment with «Metrodek» it decreased by more than 7 times – 7.3 ± 1.6% (p < 0.001); area of exudate in the uterus with subclinical endmometritis was – 59.3 ± 6.5%, whereas after the treatment with «Metrodek» decreased about 11 times – 5.4 ± 1.1 % (p < 0,001).
