Manual assistance during parturition will often contribute to uterine contamination, which may lead to developmentof uterine infections. About 76% of cows with assistance during parturition, placental retention, or both will develop metritis. Uterine function is often compromised by bacterial contamination during and after parturition, where pathogens persist in the uterine lumen for a long time causing chronical disorders, which decrease fertility. The study have been conducted in the area of municipality Sanski Most, and, in total, 30 cows were included. Reasons for clinical interventions and treatment during the puerperium were mostly dystocia, placental retention and uterine prolapse. According to a type of antibiotic therapy, animals were divided in two groups, the first to receive antibiotics in the form of intrauterine tablets and the second to receive intrauterine tablets together with parenteral administration of ceftiofur. The most common pathological process in both groups was retention of the placenta. Group of animals that had received intrauterine tablets and parenteral ceftiofur had better reproductive parameters and achieved ideal intercalving intervals of 12 months.
