BACKGROUND Research in herd health management solely using a quantitative approach may present major challenges to the interpretation of the results, because the humans involved may have responded to their observations based on previous experiences and own beliefs. This challenge can be met through increased awareness and dialogue between researchers and farmers or other stakeholders about the ...

Understanding changes in parameters recorded by automated health monitoring systems based on ear-attached sensors the days immediately before and after diagnosis of metritis clinical mastitis can help develop dairy cow strategies. The objective this observational cohort study was to characterize rumination time, physical activity, lying time monitored an sensor before, during, (CD) mastitis. La...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a calcium-energy supplement at calving on the incidence of calving-related disorders (CRD), fertility, BCS and milk yield in cows fed anionic diets and to establish any associations among outcome variables. In Florida, from October to December 1997, 479 cows were assigned to three groups and treated at calving as follows: Group 1: 160 n...

Introduction Mycoplasmas are normal inhabitants of the upper respiratory airways, urinary and genital tracts, and the digestive system; however, they can become infectious and cause high impact diseases in dairy herds including mastitis and metritis. In dairy cattle, Mycoplasma bovis is the most commonly isolated mycoplasma species (spp.). This species is very invasive and capable of colonizing...

Objective: This study aimed to monitor oxidative stress parameters including total antioxidant status (TAS) and oxidant (TOS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) level during the healing process in hair goats with metritis. 
 Materials Methods: was carried out on a of 25 metritis (n=10; Group 1) healthy (n=15; 2). The beginning accepted as day 0. In both 1 2, blood samples were collected ...

Taylorella equigenitalis is the causative agent of contagious equine metritis (CEM), a sexually transmitted infection of horses. We report here the genome sequence of T. equigenitalis strain ERC_G2224, isolated in 2015 from a semen sample collected in 1996 from a Lipizzaner stallion in South Africa.

objective: the cows that don’t have access to sufficient energy in their ration can get sickness. milk production has a high priority in metabolism of dairy cows so lactating cows are more prone to get sick this can ruin all the benefits of higher milk yield because of the higher prevalence of the disorders. methods: data for this research had gathered from a herd with 1600 holstein cattle in e...

BACKGROUND Results of analyses based on veterinary records of animal disease may be prone to variation and bias, because data collection for these registers relies on different observers in different settings as well as different treatment criteria. Understanding the human influence on data collection and the decisions related to this process may help veterinary and agricultural scientists moti...
