The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of intrauterine ozone insufflation alone or in combination with cephalexin in treating the postpartum clinical endometritis in dairy cows. A total number of fourteen postpartum clinical endometritic cows selected after screening were allotted randomly into 2 Groups (n=7). The Group I & II cows were administered thrice with intrauterine ozone insufflations (21mg) either alone or in combination with cephalexin in two days interval. Seven postpartum normal cyclic animals were taken as control. Following treatment, the overall reduction in combined mucous character and odour in both groups (Group I: 82.04% and Group II: 87.25%) were similar and highly significant (p<0.01). The most predominant bacteria found was E. coli (28.57%) followed by Staphylococcus spp. (21.42%), Streptococcus spp. (21.42%), Pseudomonas spp. (14.28%), Proteus spp. (7.14%) and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (7.14%). Overall reduction in bacterial count post treatment (day 7) as compared to pre-treatment were highly significant (p<0.01) i.e. 99.60% in Group I and 99.72% in Group II. PMN cell counts of uterine smear were significantly (p<0.01) increased from pre-treatment (25.85±3.28 in Group I and 22.85±2.77 in Group II) to post treatment (77.71±2.86) in Group I and 87.14±1.35 in Group II) which indicated the infiltration of neutrophils due to action of ozone and cephalexin. The conception rates following first AI were recorded as 42.85% in Group I (3/7), 71.42% (5/7) in Group II and 42.85% (3/7) in control group. Thus, intrauterine ozone insufflation has the potential to alleviate postpartum clinical endometritis as an efficacious, cost-effective treatment option and an alternative to antibiotics with an overall improvement of fertility rate in dairy cows.
