Online published on 4 May, 2019. Abstract The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of administration of intrauterine antiseptic, immunomodulator and its combination with immunostimulant on the recovery and conception rate in endometritic buffaloes. Total 48 buffaloes were diagnosed positive for endometritis by pH assessment, metricheck score and white side test of Cervico-vaginal mucus (CVM). The cases were categorised in five different groups viz. Group 1 consisting of 11 buffaloes was treated with 30 ml of 4 percent Lugol's iodine by intrauterine route; Group 2 was treated with E.coli LPS @ 100μg in 30 ml PBS intrauterine in 7 buffaloes; Group 3 was treated with Lugol's iodine as per group 1 along with inj. Levamisole @ 2.5 mg/kg b. wt. subcutaneously in 8 buffaloes; Group 4 was treated at par with group 2 with additional Levamisole as per group 3 in 6 buffaloes and in Group 5 six buffaloes were treated with combination of Group 1 and 2 simultaneously. Recovery rate was assessed by evaluating CVM of treated animals in next estrus and after insemination the conception rate was recorded as 57.14, 83.33, 66.66, 80.00 and 75.00 percent in group 1 to 5 respectively.
