Diagnostic and treatment practices of bovine endometritis among breeders and veterinarians in France : current practices and evolutions

Pratiques de diagnostic et de traitement des endométrites bovines chez les éleveurs et les vétérinaires en France : pratiques actuelles et évolutions

Résumé

The objective of this work is to review current practices concerning the diagnosis and treatment of endometritis in cattle by French veterinarians and farmers. Two online surveys were conducted and responses were received from 230 veterinarians and 227 farmers. The diagnosis of endometritis was made by 84% of veterinarians by observation of vaginal secretions with a glove and 61% by transrectal palpation. The treatment of endometritis, for 84% of veterinarians, is done by intrauterine antibiotic therapy but also by the use of prostaglandins for 65% of veterinarians and 45% of breeders ; 21% of veterinarians and breeders treat endometritis by general antibiotic therapy. One third of veterinarians and more than 10% of farmers use complementary medicine to treat endometritis. Current recommendations in the international literature advise diagnosis by vaginal examination and treatment with intrauterine antibiotic therapy and exclude transrectal palpation and administration of prostaglandins F2α. Renewed communication to professionals and scientific work to evaluate new therapeutic options (aroma and phytotherapy in particular) would therefore be useful.
