Avaliação endometrial de uma égua submetida à infusão intrauterina de solução ozonizada: relato de caso

Abstract

The reproductive process is necessary to promote the generation of descendants in all species. Based on the importance of studies on the treatments of reproductive pathologies in the horse herd and the socioeconomic influence inherent to the reproduction of the species, in veterinary medicine, ozone therapy has been widely used for this purpose. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intrauterine lavage with ozonized solution in a mare that had subclinical bacterial endometritis, avoiding both the cost of conventional therapies and the promotion of resistance to antimicrobials. The therapy proved to be effective after a single session of ozone therapy, favoring the return to physiological reproductive and estrous cycle patterns, preventing the mare from being discarded from the herd.
