Atrazine, which belongs to triazine class of herbicides, remains a staple of the American and Indian agriculture, while is subjected to strict regulation that effectively prevents its use in Europe. It was previously shown that atrazine increased the secretion of ovarian oxytocin (OT), which is a potent uterotonic agent. However, atrazine directly inhibit the myometrial contractions in cows. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine its effect on the motoric function of bovine cervix.
