PHYTOTHERAPY OF BOVINE ENDOMETRITIS LIKE RELIABLE, SAFE, EFFECTIVE AND CHEAP EVIDENCE-BASED CONCEPT

In dairy cattle, reproductive diseases are a huge challenge that is most often solved by treating affected cows with antibiotics and hormones, often with reduced fertility and very high direct and indirect costs. Uncontrolled use of antibiotics, often without adequate sampling and sensitivity testing, can lead to multi-drug resistance as well as residues of antibiotics, disinfectants or hormones in milk and meat, endangering human health. From various studies that have been intensified in the last two decades, it seems that phytotherapy is a possible alternative treatment for dairy cows suffering from endometritis (EM).
