Abstract

The placental retention is among the main diseases that affect bovines in the postpartum period. It is characterized by failure to expel fetal membranes, which occurs during the third stage of labor. It presents multifactorial etiology, being associated with abortions, metabolic or infectious diseases, dystocias, twin births, labor induction, obstetric interventions, as well as specific factors related to property management, among others. Due to the economic importance and the great affection in the world's cattle herd, the objective was to carry out a literature review addressing the main issues inherent to the retention of placenta in cows, as well as the aspects related to this disease.
