Reproduction is one of the key factors in production in many herds and individual animals. In females, reproduction can be affected by uterine diseases, including metritis. The purpose of this review is to understand the etiology and treatment of metritis in cows. Metritis is an insidious disease that is not included in the standard veterinary protocols on many livestock farms. Cows with postpartum metritis consume less feed, produce less milk, and are more likely to be culled than their healthy counterparts. There is a very close relationship between mastitis and metritis in cows, which is based on a common microbial factor and the impact of inflammatory processes in the mammary gland and uterus on the animal's body. Due to the infectious nature of the disease, antibiotics are considered an effective treatment for acute postpartum metritis. However, each use of an antimicrobial drug involves selective pressure that can lead to the emergence of resistant bacteria, necessitating the development of alternative treatments.
