The goal of this study were to investigate the incidence of endometritis in West Tripura district, Tripura and to determine the prevalence of bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity profile in endometritic crossbred cows. Repeat breeder cows were examined for gynaecological findings, uterine cytology and positivity to white side test to identify them as endometritic cows. Cervico vaginal mucus were examined for bacterial isolation and identification followed by antibiotic sensitivity test of isolated pathogens. The incidence of endometritis in repeat breeder crossbred cows was 38.7%. The most common pathogen isolates recovered were E. coli (37.5%) followed by non-lactose fermenting organism under the family Enterobacteriaceae (27.5%), Staphylococcus aureus (22.5%), Streptococcus spp. (7.5%), and Bacillus spp. (5%). Ciprofloxacin, amikacin and gentamicin were most sensitive antibiotics against micro-organisms causing endometritis.
