Despite the fact that today different prevention programs are utilized, the incidence of puerperal metritis and endometritis occurrence has now significantly changed in last 30 years. The goal of this work was to evaluate cow endometritis treatments on the farm with the use of two local antiseptics (povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate) and one antibiotic (cephapirine) and determine which of the treatments is economically most justified for field use in high producing dairy cows. The investigation was done on 90 Holstein-Friesian cows, from 3.5 to 5 old. Animals were checked for endometritis and randomly assigned to one of the groups. Endometritis treatments were performed from 28th till 35th day postpartum with cepharirine, hlorhexidine digluconate and povidon iodide. Highest fertility was achieved in the group of cows treated with cephapirine (83.33%). On the contrary, lowest fertility was determined in the group of cows treated wit 1% povidone iodine solution (76.67%), while the group of cows treated with 0.2% aqueous solution of chlorhexidine digluconate achieved fertility of 80.00%. Shorter service period was observed in the group of cows treated with cephapirine and chlorhexidine digluconate compared to the group of cows treated with % povidone iodine solution. Average number of insemination per successful conception in the group of cows treated with cephapirine and 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate solution was lower than the one in group of cows treated with 1 % povidone iodine solution.
