The study material consisted of 77 cows with chronic endometritis and randomly divided into 4 groups. Group 1 (n=21; GI) administered PGF2α. Group 2 (n=20; GII) peracetic acid, Group 3 (n=18; GIII) thyme essential oil, Group 4 (n=18; GIV, control group) normal saline, was applied. As a result of GI, GII, GIII and GIV first insemination pregnancy rates were 19%, 35%, 66.6% and 11.1%, respectively (P<0.01). Total pregnancy rates were 71.5%, 85%, 94.4% and 11.1%, respectively (P<0.001). As a result, conventional drugs used to treat endometritis thyme essential oil may be used as an alternative.
