- Abstract
Out of 238 turbid uterine discharge samples from endometritic cows at estrus that had failed to conceive despite three or more attempts of repeated artificial inseminations and/or natural services, a total of 37 (15.5%) mycotic isolates were recorded and identified. Out of these cows diagnosed for suffering from fungal endometritis, 24 animals were infused 0.1% solution of Lugol's iodine intra-uterine once daily for three days. Intra-uterine infusion of 0.1% Lugol's iodine was found clinically efficacious in the treatment of fungal endometritis where out of 24 cows, 14 exhibited clinical recovery in terms of clearing of discharge and 8 cows conceived following first insemination.
