The age of animal ranged between 4-8 years. The animals were divided into four groups. The first group (N=20) was treated with 22.5 mg of PGF2α I.M. The second group (N=15) was treated with 100 I.U of oxytocin I.M. The third group treated with 5 mg estradiol benzoate I.M. (N=15). The fourth group (N=15) treated with 15 mg PGF2α I.M. The cases were diagnosed clinically with the presence the mucopurelent vaginal discharge and confirmed by rectal palpation. Positive response were considered when there is clear vaginal mucus, while negative response was considered if the vaginal discharge turbid or mucopurelent. The results showed that the best results gives with PGF2α 22.5 mg, with efficacy of 100% (20/20). There was significant difference (P<0.05) between this group and other treated group.
