AI-generated summary
Oxytocin receptors were detected in the bovine uterus during the first 7 days postpartum, except on day 2, when staining was limited to blood vessel endothelium.

Abstract
Persistence of the oxytocin receptor (OTR) in the bovine uterus during the first 7 d after calving was investigated by means of immunohistochemical staining. Immunoreactive OTRs were present in different locations in the uterus on almost all days except day 2, when staining was seen only in the endothelium of blood vessels in the endometrium and myometrium. This finding supports the hypothesis that oxytocin may be ecbolic in cows through the 1st week post partum, but further studies are required to assess the receptor functionality during this period.
