Normally calved dairy cattle (n=8 in treatment and control group each) were evaluated for the impact of early post
partum treatment (day 0, 5 and 10 post partum) with prostaglandin F2á analogue, cloprostenol sodium, on expulsion of
placenta, uterine involution, exhibition of first post partum estrus and first service conception rate. Cloprostenol treated
cattle had early expulsion of placenta and uterine involution (p<0.05), however, the outcome of remaining parameters
was similar (p>0.05), thus, suggesting the beneficial impact of treatment to a certain extent in dairy cattle
