Endometritis therapy in sows by intra uterine instillation of yeast cell wall solution

Abstract

On the basis of our investigations it was possible to conclude that intrauterine treatment of sows with puerperal uterine infections with sterile YCW (Yeast Cell Wall) resulted in significant clinical improvement. The percent of recidivism was the lowest (10%) in groups of sows treated with 10 and 20 g of YCW. The degree of bacterial CFU (Colony Forming Units) reduction in samples of sows uterine flushings following instillation of YCW (5, 10 and 20 g) was wery high and ranged from 1361 to 1444 times, while in sows treated with Lotagen 2% solution (100 mL) this parametar was only 32. At the moment of weaning, piglets from sows treated with 10 and 20 g of YCW were heavier when compared to the control and Lotagen group and their DBWG (Daily Body Weight Gain) was higher when compared to the Lotagen and control group. Treatment of sows by IU instillation of YCW did not influence the number of piglets in the next breeding cycle.

Na osnovu rezultata naših istraživanja bilo je moguće zaključiti da tretman krmača obolelih od puerperalnih infekcija materice, sterilnim preparatom dobijenim iz zida kvasca (YCW), ima za posledicu značajan klinički napredak. Procenat krmača sa recidivom je bio najniži (10%) u grupi tretiranoj sa 10 i 20g YCW. Stepen redukcije broja bakterijskih kolonija (CFU) u uzorcima dobijenih iz materice krmača posle tretmana YCW preparatom je bio veoma visok i kretao se u opsegu od 1361 do 1444 puta. Kod obolelih krmača, tretiranih rastvorom Lotagena (2%), vrednost ovog parametra je bila svega 32. U momentu zalučenja, prasad krmača tretiranih YCW preparatom u količini od 10 i 20 g bila su teža u poređenju sa prasadima krmača grupe tretirane Lotagenom i prasadima kontrolnih (neteretiranih) krmača. Osim toga i njihovi prosečni dnevni prirasti su bili veći. Tretman krmača intrauterinom instilacijom preparata na bazi YCW nije negativno uticao na broj prasadi u sledećem reproduktivnom ciklusu.
