The retention of foetal membranes (RFM) is supposed to be related to oxidative stress which can be evaluated through indirect and direct parameters, among others, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and lipid peroxidation intensity (LPI). Placental samples (maternal and foetal parts) were collected from Holstein-Friesian healthy cows immediately after caesarean section (n = 13, group A) at time or...
