Abstract

Metritis is one of the most common pathologies faced by the practitioner. In Quebec, the cattle population is just below two million head, and Veticare statistics indicate 493,000 diagnoses and treatments on genital tract of the cow out of 933, 000 diagnoses of disease in cattle. It means that 53% of the total veterinary medical work is theriogenology. Metritis was involved in 78,000 cases or 16% of the genital tract diagnosis. These ratios did not change significantly since three years.
