Abstract

Cows suffering from postpartum endometritis which may not be treated with conventional treatments, and thus may have long days-in-milk (DIM), are candidates for disposal from the herd. The aim of this study was to treat such animals with only one intra-uterine (IU) infusion of ceftiofur to keep them in the herd.
