Abstract

45 uteri from cous were examined bacteriologically and histologically. These cous were slaughtered because of infertility 383 days after they bore for the last time. All the cows 3 - 7 years ofd and oi good or very good nutritional condition were submitted to 9.45 ± 2.08 unsuccessful artificial and natural insemination and did not show in the rectal examination any pathological symptons of the genital system (symptom free sterility). 8 out of these 45 cows that is 17.8% did show pathogen germs and 17 cows that is 37,7% had shown endometritis by histological examination.
