PREVALENCE OF GYNECOLOGICAL PATHOLOGIES IN COWS ON A DAIRY FARM IN THE PANFILOV DISTRICT OF THE ALMATY REGION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TREATMENT PLANS

Abstract

The authors of the article studied the prevalence of gynecological pathologies in Simmental cows on a dairy farm in the Panfilov district of the Almaty region. According to the results of gynecological medical examinations, the frequency of reproductive organ pathologies in cows was as follows: acute endometritis - 8.66%, chronic endometritis - 11.81%, subinvolution of the uterus - 4.72%, ovarian hypofunction and ovarian cysts - 5.51%, anestrus - 7.08%. From October 2024 to June 2025, a total of 127 cows in their 2nd to 5th lactations were examined, of which 48 cows (37,78%) were diagnosed with gynecological diseases. Gynecological diseases in cows were diagnosed using rectal diagnostics, vaginal examinations, ultrasound scanning of the reproductive organs, medical history collection, and analysis of artificial insemination logs. Two treatment methods for gynecological pathologies used on this dairy farm were evaluated. The first treatment plan focuses on preventing uterine inflammation. It includes the following veterinary medications: Uteroton, Dexamethasone, Nioxytilum forte, Oxytocin, and Estrofan. The dosage and intervals between injections are optimized. The second treatment plan includes daily administration of Lexoflon for seven days, with the remaining medications administered at specific intervals. Our observational analysis shows that treatment efficacy and recovery times were improved with the second treatment plan.
