              Abstract 
 Aim:
              To study the effect of uterine immunomodulation on 
              hematobiochemical parameters and total immunoglobulin 
              concentration in cyclic non-breeding cows. 
              Materials and Methods: Twenty-one repeat breeding cows around 
              Bhubaneswar area were screened by white side test to detect and 
              treat the endometritis and were assigned to three treatment 
              protocols with an equal number of seven animals in each group. 
              Cows in control group were administered with 50 ml of normal 
              saline while treatment Group I animals were given single 
              intrauterine infusion of 20 ml of fresh colostrum and treatment 
              Group II animals received nonpathogenic Escherichia coli in 
              10 ml sterile saline. The blood samples were collected from all 
              the experimental animals, and hematobiochemical parameters and 
              total immunoglobulin concentration were estimated. 
              Results: A high significant difference (p<0.01) was accounted 
              in lymphocyte count of E. coli treated group within 
              different days of sampling. Analysis of variance recorded a highly 
              significant difference with neutrophil percent in E. coli 
              lavaged cows. In colostrum treated group monocyte count showed a 
              significant difference (p<0.01) between 0 and 14th 
              day of sampling. The analysis of hematocrit values did not show 
              any significant difference apart from the erythrocyte 
              sedimentation rate parameter in the colostrum infused group with 
              the highest significant (p<0.01) variation being observed between 
              7th and 14th day of sampling. The analysis of aspartate amino 
              transferase values in the colostrum lavaged cows revealed a 
              significant difference, but that of alanine amino transferase 
              values did not show any significant difference. Comparison of 
              immunoglobulin values for different days in all the treatment 
              protocol revealed a highly significant (p<0.05) difference within 
              various days of sampling. 
              Conclusion: In the present study, the local immunomodulation 
              by different agents have been highlighted and which indicated 
              potentiation of uterine immunity by different drug that might 
              serve as a new direction of treatment to uterine diseases. The 
              scope of research in the future should be widened by considering a 
              larger population for validation. 
              Keywords: colostrum, cyclic non-breeders, hematocrit values, 
              non-pathogenic Escherichia coli.
