Abstract: In cattle, delayed postpartum uterine involution prolongs the reproductive interval and reduces reproductive rates. Uterine involution involves postpartum uterine tissue degeneration, repair, and remodeling of the myometrium. Stem cells, cytokines, non-coding RNAs, estrogen, and progesterone all participate in controlling postpartum uterine tissue repair and regeneration. At the same time, green and non-polluting prevention and treatment techniques such as vitamins and glucose-containing compounds, traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and immunomodulatory chemicals can successfully encourage postpartum uterine involution in cattle. In this article, the latest research progress on the regulatory mechanism of postpartum uterine involution and methods for promoting uterine involution is summarized, in the hope of providing some references for studying the molecular regulatory mechanism of animal postpartum uterine involution and creating new techniques for promoting uterine involution in cattle.

Key words: uterine involution, regulation mechanism, cytokines, non-coding RNA, matrix metalloproteinase system(MMPs)
