The treatment of retained placenta with an intrauterin suspension

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to evaluate an intrauterine suspension in the treatment of retained placenta. A therapeutic option that affects, as little as possible the female reproductive life, thus reducing the associated economic implication is the ideal in the treatment of retained placenta. In this study, we analyzed the cases of retained placenta in a farm from Cluj county, the incidence, the diagnosis and the treatment of this pathology in cows. The study was carried out during January 2017-April 2019 and included 216 animals that have calved in that period. Of these, 16 animals were with retained placenta at 12-15 hours after calving, which represents 7.40%. After the treatment, the service period, the number of doses of semen needed for one gestation and the costs of treatment were established.
