The present study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Raphanus sativus and Cuminum cyminum in treating endometritis under field conditions. The animals aged between two to five calving brought for insemination were randomly subjected to white side test to diagnose the presence of subclinical/clinical endometritis. The animals tested positive were treated with Ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM) therapy, herbal formulation comprising (Cuminum cyminum + Raphanus sativus) for 5 days. Post-treatment, the recovery percentage against subclinical endometritis with one time EVM therapy was 85.71%. And with the second time EVM therapy, the recovery percentage was 100%. Meanwhile, there is no response in clinical endometritis condition with one time EVM therapy. However, after the second time EVM therapy recovery percentage was 33.33%. Hence, it may be assumed that the EVM therapy is highly effective against subclinical endometritis condition and it is less effective in high degree of clinical endometritis.
