| Popis: | The use of intravaginal sponges produces changes in the composition of the normal vaginal microbiota and provokes the presence of a putrid abnormal fluid at sponge withdrawal. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the application of three different antibiotics (enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline or nitrofurazone) administered at sponge withdrawal on the vaginal microbiota in ewes. Intravaginal sponges impregnated with fluorogestone were inserted in 40 Pelibuey ewes (Day 0), remaining in situ for 14 days. At sponge withdrawal ewes received: 1) enrofloxacin, 2) oxytetracycline, 3) nitrofurazone, or 4) no treatment (control). The vaginal pH and temperature were recorded, and samples from the vaginal fluid were collected at that moment and 56 h later (Day 16). Samples were incubated to determine the number of Colony Forming Units (CFU). The log CFU increased from Day 0 to Day 14 (P |
