Sixty-eight cases of uterine prolapse in pastured dairy cows were treated in 2 consecutive spring calving seasons in East Gippsland, Victoria. Fifty cows survived (73.5 percent) with treatment. It was concluded from observations that cows with uterine prolapse have a good chance of surviving if treated, that treatment is cost-effective, that uterine prolapse is unlikely to reoccur and treated cows have a good chance of conceiving. Ability to predict long term survival was reasonably good, but not as good in predicting ability to conceive again.
