[Retrospective study of the fertility outlook in cows after caesarean section].
This retrospective study of 207 cows found that endometritis and retained fetal membranes negatively impact fertility, with cows delivering dead calves exhibiting higher endometritis rates and lower subsequent pregnancy success.

This retrospective study analyzed fertility outcomes in 207 cows following caesarean sections performed between 1998 and 2000 to identify factors influencing subsequent pregnancy rates. The results indicated that 59% of inseminated cows became pregnant, with significantly higher success rates for those delivering living calves compared to those with stillbirths. Postpartum complications such as retained fetal membranes and endometritis negatively impacted fertility, with endometritis occurring twice as frequently after the birth of a dead calf and reducing subsequent conception rates to only 30%. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
