USE OF PEROXIETHAN ACID (PERACETATE ACID UTEROFERTIL(R)) FOR TREATMENT OF BOVINE ENDOMETRITIS

We used the drug peroxiethan acid (peracetate acid-PAS) for treatment of endometritis in cattle. PAS was used before in flushing of wounds a nd for desinfection in human medicine. This drug posesses a bacterioci d, a virucid and an antimycotic effect, caused by the low pH, by the O -2 in statu nascendi and by development of acetate some times after ap plication. A lot of biochemical reactions in the cell wall and in the cell body are induced. Applied into the uterus we observed a high inci dence of phagocytosis. In a clinical experiment 2.305 cows were treate d, one part with PAS and the other with the traditional procedure. In five experiments we achieved equal or higher reproductive results afte r treatment with PAS in comparision with the traditional drugs. Beside s the above described results there are additional advantages: no resi stence, no residuals in milk or meat. The PAS is contained in the trad emark ''Uterofertil(R) neu''.
