Randomized clinical trial of ketoprofen or ceftiofur for treatment of metritis in dairy cows.

Clinical evidence update from Journal of dairy science

Clinical Context

Peer-reviewed veterinary literature continues to shape everyday decision-making for production animal practice, especially when new evidence clarifies diagnosis, treatment selection, monitoring, or clinical outcomes.

What the Study Evaluated

A study published in Journal of dairy science in 2024 evaluated randomized clinical trial of ketoprofen or ceftiofur for treatment of metritis in dairy cows..

Key Findings

Our objectives were to compare the efficacy of ketoprofen or ceftiofur for treatment of metritis in dairy cows considering subsequent health, production, and reproduction. Cows from 2 commercial dairy farms in Ontario, Canada were examined with a Metricheck device 3 times per week from 2 to 14 DIM. Cows with metritis (fetid vaginal discharge; n = 193) were blocked by parity and fever (rectal temperature ≥39.5°C or <39.5°C) and within each block per farm, randomly assigned to receive 3 mg/kg BW of ketoprofen (KET) or 2.2 mg/kg of ceftiofur hydrochloride (CEF), once a day for 3 d. Day of enrollment was considered study d 0. Rectal temperature...

Why It Matters for Veterinary Professionals

For veterinary professionals, the practical value of this work lies in how the findings may support more structured clinical assessment, clearer monitoring, and more informed decisions for production animal practice.

Practical Interpretation

The results should be interpreted in the context of the study design, population, inclusion criteria, and clinical setting. Application in practice should consider patient-specific risk factors, available diagnostics, local standards of care, and clinician judgment.

Clinical Takeaway

Overall, the study adds useful evidence for clinicians seeking to align daily practice with current veterinary research while maintaining a balanced, case-by-case approach.
