The aim of the study was to determine the possibility of using the endoscopic technique in the evaluation of the uterus condition in cows in early puerperium after normal and abnormal deliveries. The study entailed 20 cows of Holstein-Friesian breed, aged 3-8 years, in which the endoscopic examination was carried out on the 3rd and 10th day after delivery. The cows were divided into 2 groups. Group I included 10 cows for which delivery went normally; group II included 10 cows with retention of secundines, which were removed by hand on the 3rd day after delivery, before endoscopy. The endoscopy of the cows’ uterus proved to be a very useful diagnostic technique in monitoring the early postpartum period. It enables a direct evaluation of the uterine cavity, including its mucous membrane.
