%X Aim:This work was done to study the effect of vitamin A, E and Se with varying sexual rest period in cross-bred cows with chronic endometritis. Materials and Methods: Cross-bred cows (n=396) from different villages of West Bengal with purulent or muco-purulent discharge with a history of infertility and repeat breeding for 3 to 6 months were chosen for the present study. These cows received uterine wash with lugol's iodine, intra-uterine and parenteral antibiotics and de-worming as general treatment. They were then divided into six groups viz. SR12 กม EV (n=59), SR12 กม Control (n=67), SR21 กม EV (n=65), SR21 กม Control (n=70), SR24 กม EV (n=66), SR24 กม Control (n=69) receiving sexual rest of 12 (SR12), 21 (SR21) and 24 (SR24) days with (EV group) or without (control) estradiol + vitamin A, E and Se. Results: The results indicate that the recovery rate of EV and control group was 76.27 % and 37.31 % respectively (P<0.01) in SR 12, 72.31 % and 47.14 % respectively (P<0.01) in SR 21 and 92.41 % and 63.77 % respectively (P<0.01) in SR 24. SR 24 showed significantly better (P<0.01) recovery rate compared to SR 12 and SR 21. Lowest recovery and conception rate of EV and control group in SR 12 might be due to insufficient time for the recovery of endometrium. Conclusion: The results indicate that parenteral and intra-uterine antibiotics had synergistic effect with estradiol, vitamin A, E and Se treatment in recovery from endometritis, though a minimum time interval is required for complete recovery of the endometrium for best conception rate.
