This study was conducted to determine relationships between the uterine microflora and reproductive characteristics of dairy cows. Uterine lumina were swabbed during estrus immediately prior to artificial insemination (A I). Swabbings were cultured for bacteria and accessed for cytologic evidence of inflammation. The time of sampling averaged 104 d post partum. Bacteria in the uterus were cultured from 65% of the cows (n = 85). The number of cows with any given microbial genus ranged from 1 to 35 and the number of different genera per cow ranged from 0 to 8. There were on significant correlations between amount and type of uterine microflora, days post partum, numbers of observed estrus, conception rate and uterine inflammation. The number of observed estrus periods was not correlated with the presence of aerobic bacteria. No significant relationships were found between microbes and uterine inflammation or conception to the A.I. service at the time of sampling. A negative correlation between uterine inflammation and conception approached significance (r=-0.24, P > 0.10). Acquisition of uterine lumen samples by the technique utilized had no effect on conception to A I service.
