Endometritis, which is one of the most common diseases in dairy cows postpartum, causes severe economic losses, including increased open days, calving intervals, and numbers of services to achieve conception. The objective of this study was to define the optimal clinical and microbial diagnostic criteria for Subclinical endometritis (SCE) in dairy cows and evaluation commonly used, commercially available, treatments for Subclinical endometritis (SCE). This study was carried out in the College of Veterinary Medicine - Diyala University. Sixteen Multiparous cows (4-7 years old) that diagnosed as cases of Subclinical endometritis using microbial identification. the results of the highest isolation are Aspergillus niger , Aspergillus fumigutus , Rhizopus spp. and Alternaria spp.,which were (8/16,50%;6/16,37.5%;5/16,31.3% and 3/16,19%) respectively. The animals were divided into two equal groups ,first group was treated with 2gm of oxytetracycline 10% as intrauterine (IU) therapy, while the second group treated with lugolʼs iodine solution(0.5%) intrauterine (IU), the results showed that the number of cows responded were (4/8, 50% and 7/8, 87.5%), respectively. The result as far as the treatment to conception were recorded in 2nd group in comparison to the 1st group. From these observed , we concluded that lugolʼs iodine solution gives the best results in the treatment of endometritis in cows.
