INFLUENCE OF KETOPROFEN ON REDUCTION OF EARLY EMBRYONIC MORTALITY IN HOLSTEIN CATTLE
Abstract
Nowadays most abortions among cows occur within the first three weeks after insemination. Embryo death is the main reason why dairy cows cannot conceive at the desired time intervals. Three groups of cows were investigated in the «Promin» farm of the Mykolaiv region. The Double OvSync synchronization scheme was used for cows and the nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drug Ketoprofen was used in one of the groups for the prevention of embryonic mortality on the 11th day after fertilization (n=25). For comparison, the other group was injected with the same amount of saline (n=25). No drugs were administered to the control group (n=25). It was determined that in the ketoprofen group there was an increase in the percentage of fertilization and a decrease in the insemination index and the calving. There was an increase in the percentage of fertilization and a decrease in the insemination index and the calving interval.
