Abstract

This review analyzes international scientific literature on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obstetric and gynecological pathologies in high-producing Holstein-Friesian cows. It discusses the metabolic and endocrine consequences of negative energy balance during the postpartum period, the effects of heat stress on the reproductive system, and the role of dietary and mineral-metabolism disorders in uterine function. Modern diagnostic methods, including ultrasonography and biochemical and hormonal assessment of blood serum, as well as hormonal synchronization protocols, are also considered. The review aims to provide practical conclusions for livestock farms operating in hot climatic conditions.
