The biological cycles of milk production and reproduction determine dairying profitability
thus making management decisions dynamic and time-dependent. Diseases also negatively …

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 …

Uterine microbial disease affects half of all dairy cattle after parturition, causing infertility by
disrupting uterine and ovarian function. Infection with Escherichia coli, Arcanobacterium …

Uterine function is often compromised in cattle by bacterial contamination of the uterine
lumen after parturition, and pathogenic bacteria often persist, causing uterine disease, a key …

Excellent reproductive performance in both males and females is fundamental to profitable
dairy and beef production systems. In this review we undertook a meta-analysis of genetic …

Hostein cows (n= 141) in five commercial dairy herds in central New York were examined for
endometritis by examination of endometrial aspirates for presence of inflammatory cells …

The objective of this observational study was to investigate the risk factors for metritis,
purulent vaginal discharge, and cytological endometritis. The hypothesis was that purulent …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the associations between peripheral blood
neutrophil (PMN) function, energy status, and uterine health in periparturient dairy cows …

This paper reviews the causes, impact, treatment, and prevention of retained placenta (RP),
metritis, and endometritis in dairy cows. The occurrence of each of these diseases largely …

Bacterial contamination of the uterine lumen is common in cattle after parturition, often
leading to infection and uterine disease. Clinical disease can be diagnosed and scored by …
