Intrauterine use of ozone in domestic ruminants

With combined efforts of basic/clinical veterinary scientists/practitioners and animal producers, antimicrobials of natural origin will bring into veterinary medicine, same type of curative revolution as antibiotics (AB) have in combat against infectious diseases. This is of particular importance in reproductive management in buiatrics where ozone has been used as an alternative to AB due to its germicidal/fungicidal activities. Frequently, ozone is used within the field of veterinary medicine is for prophylaxis/treatment of pathological conditions of the genital tract in domestic ruminants, such as retained fetal membranes (RFM), clinical metiritis/endometritis, urovagina, and for improvement of fertility which have been proved in our studies. Advantages of ozone in comparison to AB are usage without prescription, absence of adverse effects, lowering medication costs, lack of bacterial resistance, and absences of residues in animal products. There were no detrimental effects of ozone in ruminants and it exhibited promising results as alternative to AB in food animal practice
