Clinical and haematological indices of the cows for acute catarrhal-purulent endometritis

Postpartum inflammatory processes in the genital organs are enough common reason of prolonged symptomatic infertility, which is from 10 to 72% of the total dairy herd of cows and are often registered in the form acute endometritis. The goal of the work was to study non-specific indicators resistance in healthy and illness with catarrhal purulent endometritis of cows. The haematological tests research were carried out during the winter-spring period on cows of four groups, which were formed on the basis of analogues and on the basis of clinical and gynaecological investigations. Presented data regarding special feature of clinical signs of postnatal endometritis in cows. In cows during the puerperal period recorded acute serous of endometritis purulent-catarrhal. The acute catarrhal purulent endometritis causes in cows significant changes in the morphological composition of blood and all investigated units of natural resistance. In illness  cows with compared to healthy ones pregnant cows have had an undoubted increase in haemoglobin content (by 15.4%), the number of eosinophils and  neutrophils which core has rod shape; an increase in the number of leukocytes (by 8.3%) and a decrease in lymphocytes, bactericidal (10.42%) and lysozyme activity of plasma (0.96%) was not reliable. The low index of phagocytic activity for acute postpartum endometritis suggests the inhibition of phagocytosis in the body of illness cows. The acute catarrhal purulent endometritis causes in cows significant changes in the morphological composition of blood and all investigated units natural resistance. The low index of phagocytic activity for such state as acute postpartum endometritis suggests the inhibition of phagocytosis in the body of illness cows. Further work will be focused on the using of indices of non-specific resistance of cows for prediction and correction of inflammatory processes in the uterus.
