The relationship between vaginal discharge characteristics and metabolic status has been studied in postpartum dairy cows. Vaginal discharges at 2-6 weeks postpartum were scored weekly on a 1 (clear) to 5 (purulent material with stench) scale using the Metricheck device and classified into three groups as follows: Endometritis group (n = 19), greater than or equal to score 4 until 3 weeks postpartum; Delayed involution group (n = 9), score 2 or 3 after having score 1; Healthy group (n = 23), cows except those belonging to the Delayed involution and Endometritis groups. The uterus and cervix were assessed using ultrasonography. Blood samples were collected twice weekly from 1 to 6 weeks postpartum from all cows and were additionally obtained for 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F2α (PGFM) measurements from multiparous cows. Cows with delayed involution had delayed onset of luteal activity (p < 0.05) and higher serum urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations (p < 0.01) than healthy animals. Cows with endometritis had more peripartum diseases (p < 0.05), lower milk yield (p < 0.05), longer cervix diameter (p < 0.05), and lower serum albumin (p < 0.01), total cholesterol (p < 0.01), and magnesium (p < 0.01) concentrations, and higher aspartate aminotransferase levels (p < 0.05) than healthy cows. Plasma PGFM concentrations tended to be higher in the Delayed involution group (p = 0.083) and lower in the Endometritis group (p = 0.085) than in the Healthy group. In summary, delayed involution was shown to be associated with higher BUN concentration, and endometritis may have been caused by peripartum diseases and hepatic dysfunction.
