Short summary
The objective of this study was to clarify the interaction between postpartum endometritis and cystic ovarian disease (COD) in Japanese Black cattle. The prevalence of endometritis increased in cows with COD. The percentage of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in smears is high in cows with COD at 40–60 d postpartum. The results suggest that Japanese Black cattle with COD have potential implications for endometritis at 40–60 d postpartum compared to the cows with normal ovarian cycle.
