Online Published on 23 January, 2023. Abstract The present study was conducted on 108 crossbred cows. All cows included had regular estrus cycle with normal estrus but failed to conceive. The animals were divided into 4 pre-artificial insemination and 4 post-artificial insemination treatment groups i.e. normal with treatment (n=18 each), repeat breeder with treatment (n=18 each), normal without treatment (n=9 each), repeat breeder without treatment (n=9 each). The animals not advocated any treatment were considered as control. 30 ml Levofloxacin, Ornidazole and a-Tocopherol were infused intrauterine 10–12 hours pre-or post-artificial insemination and each cow was inseminated at mid-heat. The treatment response was assessed based on pregnancy diagnosis performed per rectum 55–60 days post insemination. The conception rate observed in normal and repeat breeding cows after pre-artificial insemination infusion of Levofloxacin, Ornidazole and a-Tocopherol were 61.11 and 44.44%, respectively against 33.33 and 11.11% in untreated control groups and conception rates in normal and repeat breeding cows following post-artificial insemination intrauterine infusion were 66.66 and 50% respectively, as compared to their respective controls (44.44 and 22.22%) groups.
