Description The present study was conducted to access the efficiency of immunomudulators in controlling the microbial load in endometritis cows in comparison with Lugol's Iodine (LI) and Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α). A total of 72 cross-bred cows divided equally in to six groups viz. Group I - treated with 30 ml of 2 per cent Lugol's iodine for 3 days, Group II, III and IV - single intrauterine dose of 30 ml PBS containing 100 µg of E. coli LPS, 2 mg of LYZs and 500 mg of OG, respectively, Group V - 25 mg of PGF2α and Group VI - control cows given 30 ml of PBS intrauterine. The bacterial colony counts recorded were significantly (P≤ 0.01) reduced after treatment. The elimination of bacterial load was better in the immunomodulator treated groups than other groups. E. Coli LPS was found to be most effective in controlling uterine infections followed by LYZ and OG.
