Abstract
The efficacy of intrauterine oxytetracycline and a combination of benz ydamine and tetracycline in preventing uterine infections in 150 Itali an Friesian cows with retained placentas were compared. The animals we re divided into three equal groups. Sixteen per cent of the oxytetracy cline treated group, 12 per cent of the benzydamine-tetracycline-treat ed group and 76 per cent of the untreated group developed endometritis . The difference between the two treatment groups was not significant but both treatments were effective in preventing septic complications in cows with retained placentas.
