[Development of a color chart to distinguish between lochia from cows with a disturbed and undisturbed uterine involution post partum].
OBJECTIVE
To describe the differences in the color of lochia from cows with undisturbed and disturbed uterine involution and to apply this to disease detection post partum.


METHODS
During the period from the 1st to the 16th day post partum, 10 cows with an undisturbed uterine involution and 15 cows with an impaired uterine involution were examined and the color of the lochia was documented.


RESULTS
The differences in the color of the lochia from cows with and without a disturbed uterine involution were used to create a color chart.


CONCLUSIONS
The color chart makes it possible to determine the color of the lochia more objectively and to use it for disease detection.
