Uterine Infections in Cows and Effect on Reproductive Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uterine infections affect the hypothalamus, hypophysis, ovaries and uterus. These infections inhibit the development of dominant follicles, prevent both the release of the luteinizing hormone (LH) and ovulation, reduce the size of the corpus luteum (CL), and decrease progesterone production. As these infections reduce fertility or cause infertility, they result in major economic losses. The diagnosis of uterine infections by means of various techniques and the detection of the severity of the infection enable the selection of the most appropriate treatment method and the estimation of the success rate that may be achieved with the application of the particular treatment method selected. This review aims to provide researchers and veterinary practitioners with practical information on the prevalence of postpartum uterine infections and currently applied diagnostic and treatment methods.

Objective: Ceftiofur, a third-generation cephalosporin, is used as a usual antimicrobial drug in veterinary medicine. Positive efficiency of ceftiofur for treatment of retained fetal membrane (RFM) and acute puerperal metritis has been previously reported. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of ceftiofur hydrochloride (CH) in prevention of uterine postpart...

Overall, 531 dairy cows were inseminated with the aim to study their reproductive performance following administration of GnRH analogue on different days of estrous cycle with different doses. These cows were divided into six treatment and one control group. Depending upon different treatment groups, Buserelin acetate was injected at a dose of 10.5 µg or 21.0 µg on different days (0, 5 or 12) o...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of raising the rear end when replacing the prolapsed uterus in cows on the outcome and reproductive performance. A total of 76 cows with uterine prolapse were investigated, 10 of which had died before treatment. According to the posture, cows were divided into standing (Standing: n = 11) and recumbent (Recumbent: n = 55). Recumbent cows were subd...
متن کاملCharacterization of single nucleotide polymorphism in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of Lactoferrin gene and its association with reproductive parameters and uterine infection in dairy cattle
Uterine infection is one of the reproductive diseases that can have disturbing postpartum uterine health in cattle. Therefore, identification of resistant genotypes to uterine infection is important. Lactoferrin (LF) is one of the major antimicrobial compounds in the normal uterine discharges of cows. We hypothesized that allelic diversity in LF gene may contribute to susceptibility or resistan...
