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 …

In this prospective cohort study, Holstein cows considered to be at high risk of developing
metritis (dystocia, twins, stillbirth, retained placenta, or their combination) were matched with …

In the last decade, several new aspects of the inflammation of the bovine endometrium have
been investigated and described, including a new definition of subclinical endometritis. This …

Contents This paper reviews recent data and concepts on the development of inflammation
in the reproductive tract of dairy cows during the first 2 months after calving. The incidence of …

The objectives of this study were to obtain prevalence estimates for subclinical endometritis
(SCE), determine cow-and herd-level risk factors, and evaluate the reproductive …

The 6 to 8-week period centered on parturition, known as the transition or periparturient
period, is critical to welfare and profitability of individual cows. Fertility of high-producing …
