TY - JOUR AU - Barter, Elizabeth Leigh AU - Barrelet, Annalisa PY - 2018/01/19 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - The Use of Antibiotics in Broodmares With Post-service Endometritis JF - Veterinary Evidence JA - VE VL - 3 IS - 1 SE - Knowledge Summaries DO - 10.18849/ve.v3i1.132 UR - https://veterinaryevidence.org/index.php/ve/article/view/132 SP - AB - <p>There is currently a lack of evidence to suggest that antibiotics delivered into the uterus post-service improves pregnancy rates. The evidence does support that post-service treatment with or without antibiotics improves pregnancy rates in mares with endometritis compared to no treatment (pregnancy rates between 40-90% compared to 0-56% respectively). The studies further identify the need to recognise mares at risk of post-service endometritis to target appropriate therapy.</p><p><br><img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access"> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/pr-icon.jpg" alt="Peer Reviewed"></p> ER -
