An insight study on ultrasonography-assisted diagnosis of embryonic loss and its management in crossbred cow

Embryonic losses significantly impact reproductive efficiency in dairy animals. This study presents clinical observations of embryonic mortality in a Vrindavani crossbred cow diagnosed through sequential ultrasonography imaging. Findings revealed an amniotic vesicle devoid of an embryo, disintegrating embryonic membranes, and luteal regression followed by uterine fluid clearance and subsequent follicular development. The cow was successfully conceived after therapeutic intervention with intrauterine antibiotics and given a breeding of one cycle. Findings highlight the importance of ultrasonography in detecting embryonic losses, facilitating timely interventions to reduce pregnancy wastage, thereby reducing economic losses.
