Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the effect of treated and auto-recovered clinical endometritis on postpartum fertility. We collected data on breeding, diseases, and cyclicity. Regarding co-affections, cows auto-recovered from clinical endometritis were affected in groups 1 (n=11) and 2 (n=12). Cows with treated clinical endometritis represented groups 3 (n=08) and 4 (n=07), and cows without clinical endometritis represented Groups 5 (n=15) and 6 (n=80). Once the cyclicity recovered, cows were inseminated. Studied fertility parameters were; 1: conception rate; 2: days to first insemination; 3: success rate in the first insemination; 4: days to conception; and 5: days between first insemination and pregnancy. For days to first insemination intervals a significant difference was noted between groups 3 and 5 (p-value = 0,006), groups 3 and 1 (p value = 0,019), and groups 3 and 6 (p-value = 0,005). However, the conception rate was significantly higher in the groups with non treated clinical endometritis groups 1and 2 (p-value = 0.030). Concerning the other parameters, we did not find significant differences among groups. Our results showed that auto-recovered cows from clinical endometritis had better fertility outcomes.
