An abortion outbreak in 36 out of 55 (65.45%) pregnant buffalo-heifers was investigated. Aspergillus fumigatus and the yeast-like fungs (Cryptoco ccus neoformans) were incriminated as the main cause of abortion among those animals through detection of clinical finding, cultural and histopatho logical examination of abortion materials. Oral administration of the antifungal drug (Flucin) at the rate of 30 g/animal/day for 7 days reduc ed the rate of abortion to a minimum among the rest of pregnant animals.
Intrauterine infusion of 150 ml of 4% Lotagen solution two times with one week interval into aborting animals, 2-3 weeks after abortion, resulted in normal cyclic changes in those animals, two weeks after second infus ion. Rectal examination of treated animals, 2-3 months following first treatment, revealed that 28 out of 36 (77.78%) of them were pregnant.
