    The aim of this research was to determine the therapeutic effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in different doses, with the purpose of reducing the spread of pustules containing the viral load of vulvovaginitis in cows, a common condition that presents significant challenges to dairy production, causing infertility, abortions, among other issues. To achieve this objective, an experimental study was conducted with dairy cows, divided into four groups: a control group treated with an antiviral called 5% acyclovir, group A with 1.5 ml of PRP, group B with 1.0 ml of PRP, and group C with 0.5 ml of PRP. The methodology involved the direct application of PRP to the mucosa of the vulvar lips, with their respective treatments. The evaluation of the number of pustules present was key in the investigation. The results showed a significant difference in pustule reduction: group A achieved a 56.13% decrease, group B a 34.16% decrease, group C a 34.33% decrease, and the control group a 35.4% decrease. These findings highlight the efficacy of this therapy in reducing the incidence of vulvovaginitis pustules in cattle. It is concluded that the application of PRP is an effective alternative treatment to reduce viral load and improve reproductive health in cattle.
