Abstract

Prolapses of uterus, cervix and vagina are answerable for economic losses and unbalance on reproductive efficiency of dairy an beef cows (BARTOLOMEU et al 1997; MARQUES et al 1991). Pandit et al. (1992) cited that the most of treated animals with mechanic replacement of organs and suture of vulva, became sterile after prolapse vaginal/uterine, showing chronicle cervicitis, with recidivation index of 34,88% at this affection on animals. The causes of prolapses in all yours variations stands in certain manner undefined, precise causes aren’t known. Nevertheless, seems to be correlated with high plasmatic estrogens concentration, mineral deficiency, essentially phosphorus and calcium, genetic predisposition, obstetric passage bad developed and vulva intumesce (ROBERTS, 1979). According to Shukla; Pareth (1987) the literature mention prolapse incidence of 3,35% until 5,36% , based on explored race or management accomplished. Regarding how big is the national herd, we might begin to see the prejudice that this reproductive patology cause in all yours variations on whole amount of productivity of cows in Brazilian herd. Studding and having a better understand of this reproductive patology we can avoid problems find solutions and minimize economic loses.
