Bacteria are ubiquitous in the bovine uterus after parturition, but 50 years ago, cows
tolerated these bacteria and few animals developed uterine disease. Now, up to 40% of …

Up to forty percent of dairy cows develop metritis or endometritis when pathogenic bacteria
infect the uterus after parturition. However, resilient cows remain healthy even when …

Our objectives were to describe and compare the uterine bacterial composition of
postpartum Holstein cows diagnosed as healthy (n= 8), subclinical endometritis (SCE; n= 8) …

Since the discovery of the microbiome in humans, it has been studied in many mammalian
species. Different microbiological communities with variable richness and diversity have …

Catalpol is the main active ingredient of an extract from Radix rehmanniae, which in a
previous study showed a protective effect against various types of tissue injury. However, a …

Endometritis is a leading cause of sub‐and infertility in domestic animal species. The
healthy uterus is colonized by commensal bacteria, viruses and yeast/fungi that represent …

The objective of this study was to characterize the uterine microbiota of dairy cows with
clinical and subclinical endometritis and to identify the potential bacterial genera as well as …

The establishment of pregnancy following insemination is the primary definition of fertility in
most dairy systems. Highly fertile cows establish pregnancy sooner after calving and require …

Endometritis is one of the most common reproductive diseases caused by bacterial infection
in the cow. Ferulic acid is a major effective component extracted from Ligusticum wallichii …

Systemic inflammation (SI) is increasingly studied in several species because it may be
central in many metabolic disturbances and be a risk factor for clinical disease. This proof-of …
