[QUOTE="bovine, post: 2986798, member: 12486"] I'm unaware of any evidence that any antibiotic is any better or worse in these circumstances. I would use the most appropriate antibiotic in the circumstances, whatever that may be. I'm convinced the treatment doesn't affect the fertility, the infection does. My view is its VITAL you take the animal's temperature before treatment - if its high then its very likely to reduce his fertility. A high temperature will affect sperm for about 50 days in the ram. Anti-inflammatory is a good idea for the sake of the ram, but again there is no good evidence that it will magically preserve the fertility of the animal. Assume he will be negatively affected.
