Fertility problems are the main reasons for culling dairy cows. Diseases of the female genital tract are also often the cause of antibiotic or hormonal treatments in bovine practices. The use of medicinal plants could expand the available therapeutics. The aim of the work was to analyze historical literature before the introduction of antibiotics in veterinary reproductive medicine. Five books in German language, published in Germany and Switzerland between 1878 and 1921, and one handwritten therapy booklet by the rural veterinarian Carl Ammann-Honegger (1879-1960) were systematically examined regarding the descriptions (AW) on gynecological diseases. The herbal and additional ingredients of the recipe, the target animal species, the type of administration and the indication were recorded in detail for each AW. The six literature sources contained a total of 103 AW (79 administered orally, 13 locally, and 11 both orally and locally). Almost two thirds of the AW (61) were based on a mixture of different plants (two to seven plants), and one third of the AW (31) on a single plant. A total of 55 plants were recorded. The most frequently mentioned medical plants were plants of the genus Juniperus (J. communis L. (19 AW), J. sabina L. (13 AW)) and Linum usitatissimum L. (18 AW), Matricaria chamomilla L. (13 AW) and Gentiana lutea L. (12 AW). The treatment of the Retentio secundinarum was the most frequently mentioned indication (44 AW), followed by parturition preparation (17 AW) and endometritis treatment (15 AW). The most frequently recorded plants can be divided based on their ingredients and their effect into (a) energy- and protein-rich forage plants, (b) generally appetizing, digestive- and metabolism-enhancing plants, (c) medical plants with a specific gynecological organotrophic effect and (d) according to current knowledge, predominantly toxic plants. Besides the antimicrobial active immunity to defence against bacterial infections, a stable barrier funcion of the endometrium contributes to uterine health. The plants classified under (a) - (c) have at least the potential for a positive effect on the immune system and the endometrial barrier function and thus contribute indirectly to the uterine health.
繁殖问题是淘汰奶牛的主要原因。雌性生殖道疾病也是牛场中抗生素或激素治疗的常见原因。药用植物的使用可以扩大可用的治疗方法。这项工作的目的是分析兽医生殖医学中引入抗生素之前的历史文献。系统查阅了1878年至1921年间在德国和瑞士出版的五本德语书籍，以及乡村兽医卡尔·阿曼-霍内格（1879 - 1960）的一本手写治疗手册，内容涉及妇科疾病的描述（AW）。针对每个AW，详细记录了配方中的草药和其他成分、目标动物种类、给药类型和适应症。这六个文献来源总共包含103个AW（79个口服，13个局部使用，11个口服和局部使用）。几乎三分之二的AW（61个）基于不同植物的混合物（两种至七种植物），三分之一的AW（31个）基于单一植物。总共记录了55种植物。最常提及的药用植物是刺柏属植物（刺柏J. communis L.（19个AW）、新疆圆柏J. sabina L.（13个AW））以及亚麻Linum usitatissimum L.（18个AW）、母菊Matricaria chamomilla L.（13个AW）和黄龙胆Gentiana lutea L.（12个AW）。继发性滞留的治疗是最常提及的适应症（44个AW），其次是分娩准备（17个AW）和子宫内膜炎治疗（15个AW）。根据其成分和作用，最常记录的植物可分为（a）富含能量和蛋白质的饲料植物，（b）一般开胃、促进消化和新陈代谢的植物，（c）具有特定妇科器官营养作用的药用植物，以及（d）根据目前的知识，主要是有毒植物。除了对抗细菌感染的抗菌主动免疫外，子宫内膜的稳定屏障功能有助于子宫健康。归类在（a） - （c）下的植物至少有可能对免疫系统和子宫内膜屏障功能产生积极影响，从而间接有助于子宫健康。
