Abstract

A total of 54 femal camels with a history of conception failure were examined through transrectal palpation, ultrasonography and vaginal explorations. Animals were categorized according to type of uterine infection (endometritis n=26 animals) and (metritis n=28 animals). Several types of both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria were isolated from diseased animals. Presence of bacteria were detected in samples (87.5 %) in cases of endometritis in contrast to (92.5%) from metritis cases. Several microorganisms were isolated from infected camels. The microorganisms associated with endometritis were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, 16 isolates (40 %), Corynebacterium Spp., 8 isolates (20 %), E.coli, 6 isolates (15 %) and Salmonella spp. 5 isolates (12.5 %). In metritis cases the isolated bacteria were identified as Corynebacterium Sp.12 isolates (30 %), Proteus Sp. 10 isolates (25 %), Klebseiella Sp. 8 isolates (20 %) and Salmonella Sp. 7 isolates (17.5 %). According to the line of treatment, female camels were divided into four groups for endometritis and metritis cases. In endometritis cases the groups treated as follows: G.1:  (n = 7) she-camel were treated withgentamycine sulphate I/M injectionscombined with intrauterine infusionsof acriflavin solution.G.2: (n = 6) she-camels were treated with Cefquinome intramuscularly andacriflavin solution.G.3: (n = 7) received lotagen1 solution with gentamicin sulphate I/M. G.4: (n= 6) received lotagen solution intrauterine wash with Cefquinome I/M. Meanwhile animals suffering from metritis treated as follows: group 1 (n = 8) were washed with acriflavin solution intrauterine with Enrofloxacine I/M injections, group 2 (n = 6) received acriflavin solution as intrauterine wash with Synulox, group 3 (n = 7) received lotagen solution intrauterine with  Enrofloxacine I/M and  group 4 (n= 7) received lotagen solution intrauterine with Synulox I/M. Our study revealed that the best conception rates was done in camels treated by gentamycine with acriflavine in endometritis cases, while in metritis the highest conception rates were cleared in she camel treated by synulox in combination with lotagen intra uterine wash.
