Summary

Microscopical and submicroscopical changes in the endometrium of goats within a physiological puerperium were investigated.
On day 21 postpartum, the surface epithelium was partially damaged, some cells degenerated and their regeneration proceeded from stem epithelial cells located close to the continuous basal membrane. The stratum spongiosum contained proliferating tubular uterine glands.
By day 36 postpartum, the regeneration of the surface epithelium was complete. Some cells of the uterine glands had degenerated. The endometrial connective tissue contained numerous wandering cells, particularly mast cells and macrophages which participate in the "self-cleaning processes" in the uterus.

Key words: endometrium; goats; morphology; puerperium
