It is known that repeat breeder cases in cows cause severe economic losses. This study was purposed to evaluate the efficacy of different treatment protocols in intrauterine applications for subclinical genital tract infections in repeat breeder cows. In the present study, 75 Holstein-Fleckvieh cows were used. Cows that constitute the material of the study were divided into three groups randomly; 10 ml of cefquinom sulfate + 5 ml of dexamethasone sodium phosphate + 10 ml of 30% dextrose three times with an interval of one day by intrauterine route in Group I; spray containing 100 mg of rifaximin (13.4 grams) was applied to Group II. Animals in Group III did not undergo any treatment procedures and were evaluated as a control group. The pregnancy rate results of the first artificial insemination performed after intrauterine applications were determined as 32% (8/25) in Group I, 20% (5/25) in Group II and 20% (5/25) in Group III (P>0.05). It was concluded that it would be appropriate to investigate the intrauterine drug combination used in the presented study more thoroughly by increasing the number of animal materials and evaluating different factors affecting the repeat breeder case.
