title: On the use of oxytetracycline in reducing the incidence of metritis in dairy cows.
abstract: 50 dairy cows were alternately either given no perinatal treatment or were given an intramuscular injection of oxytetracycline in a 2-pyrrolidone base at a dosage rate of 20 mg/kg body mass. The incidence of metritis in the untreated (control) group was 46 out of 120 cows (38,3%), while in the treated group there were 30 metritis cows out of 130 (23%)--a statistically significant difference.
