Abstract

32 postpartum Murrah buffaloes, aged 3 to 12 years, in good body conditions of Experimental farm, Zootechnic Institute in Ribeira Valley were examined twice weekly for uterine involution by rectal palpation. No uterine infection and laborious calving was observed. Complete involution of the uterus was observed in average 25.23 ± 5.41 days after calving. There was no statistical difference (p > 0.05) between time of involution of the uterus and month of calving, weight of calving, number os calving, age of buffaloes, sex of calves, milk yield, postpartum ovarian activity, first post partum estrus and service period. Weight of calves was significantly (r = 0.41; p < 0.05) correlated to uterine involution.
