Abstract

The current study was conducted on 75 crossbred dairy cows, ages ranging from (4-8) years suffering from endometritis, including (75 cows) were divided equally into five groups ; 1st  group (control group) kept untreated, 2nd group (Lugol's iodine solution group) that administered 1% (Lugol's iodine), 3rd  group (T1) treated with 10% green synthesized nanocomposite (Forsythia suspensa-AgNPs), 4th  group (T2) treated with 10% plant extract only, and 5th group (T3) treated with 10% Silver nanoparticles only.


The results of the current study showed that there was no significant difference between the groups of animals studied in the length of the estrous cycle. While the group T1 recorded the highest pregnancy rate (86.66%) and was statistically superior to the groups in the current study: the control group, Lugol's iodine solution group, T2, and T3 (0%,53,33%, 66,66% and 26,66 ) respectively.


The results showed the percentage of cows not returning to estrus after artificial insemination and treatment in the T1 group (93,33% ) after 21 days compared with the other groups: control group, Lugol's iodine solution group,  T2, and T3 (0%, 60%, 73,33%, and 26.66% ) respectively.
