Abstract
Cows with dystocia are considered as abnormal calving if delivered by hand or with a calf puller, and as having risk factors for puerperal metritis (PM) if a discharge occurs following calving. In recent years, untreated cows with postpartum metritis have increased the debate over the need of intrauterine or systemic antibiotic in the treatment of PM. This is further complicated by the studies that lack good control groups of untreated cows. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of non-treatment, intrauterine antibiotic, and systemic antibiotics on PM incidence of dairy cows with abnormal calving.
