Abstract

The role of salmonellosis in causation of abortions and infertility was investigated in 43 buffaloes and 110 cows. The isolation was successful from single abortion in a buffalo that yielded Salmonella typhimurium while 2 out of 7 aborted cows had S. dublin. From uterine discharges of 33 endometritic cows 2 isolates of S. typhimurium were identified. None of 18 samples from endometritis in buffaloes, 24 normally cyclic repeat breeding buffaloes, 56 normally cyclic repeat breeding cows, 8 cases of cervicitis in cows and 6 cases of vaginitis in cows revealed Salmonella infection. The antibiogram against 16 chemotherapeutics was also studied.
