The current study was carried out to investigate the improving roles of
silymarin-plus®
versus antibiotics on mare’s uterine environment
quality (UEQ). Current study was carried on 23 mares aged between 7-
13y. Animals were subjected to clinical and gynecological
examinations with detailed breeding history that revealed repeat
breeding although there were apparently normal mares with normal
breeding management. Animals were divided into three groups
according to medications used in lavage; G1 (Silymarin-plus®
), G2
(Ciprofloxacin + Amikacin), and G3 (mixture between Silymarin plus®
and Ciprofloxacin + Amikacin). Jugular blood samples were collected
to assess the hormonal patterns (E2 & P4) in correlation with monitoring
UEQ and follicular growth by ultrasonography. There was nonsignificant difference (P
