Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the occurrence of subclinical endometritis due to bacterial infection in repeat breeder buffaloes. One hundred sixty three repeat breeder buffaloes were screened in various organised farm in and around Jabalpur (M.P). All the selected repeat breeder buffaloes were subjected for screening by physical examination, per rectal examination, cervico-vaginal mucus examination, Whiteside test and endometrial cytology. All the animals found positive for subclinical endometritis were subjected to bacterial isolation. On the basis of endometrial cytology by cytobrush technique 19.63 per cent repeat breeder buffaloes were diagnosed to be suffering from subclinical endometritis. Endometrial cytology by cytobrush technique revealed polymorphonuclear cell percentage in repeat breeder buffaloes found positive and negative for subclinical endometritis to be 9.70�80 and 2.19�09 per cent, respectively. The difference between the repeat breeder buffaloes found positive and negative for subclinical endometritis for PMN percentage was significant (p<0.05). Total 17.17 per cent repeat breeder buffalo were positive for subclinical endometritis due to bacterial infection. Among these 28 bacterial isolates 12 (42.85%) samples yielded single while 16 (57.15%) samples yielded mixed isolates. Among the 28 bacterial isolates 20 (45.45%) Staphylococcus species was most prevalent followed by 12 (27.27%) of Streptococcus species, 8 (18.18%) of Bacillus species and 6 (13.64%) of E. coli. It was concluded that occurrence of subclinical endometritis due to bacterial infection was 17.17 per cent and Staphylococcus species (45.45%) was most prevalent among the bacterial isolates obtained.
