TL;DR: Testing for diagnostic criteria for clinical endometritis in postpartum dairy cows found no diagnostic criteria based on palpation of the uterus had predictive value for time to pregnancy, and survival analysis was used to derive a case definition of endomet arthritis based on factors associated with increased time toregnancy.

TL;DR: Treatment of postpartum endometritis should be reserved for cases diagnosed after 26 DIM, based on criteria that are associated with subsequent pregnancy rate, and the effect of antibiotic or intramuscular treatment on time to pregnancy.

TL;DR: Pneumonia was the most frequent cause of mortality of beef calves during the first 2 months after arrival in feedlots, representing 69% of total deaths and together, these diseases were the most common causes of pneumonia and death.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that, in at least some calves, M. bovis induces caseonecrotic bronchopneumonia within the lesions of pneumonic pasteurellosis.

TL;DR: The upper and lower respiratory tracts of 59 feedlot calves with clinical signs of naturally occurring respiratory disease and 60 comparison animals were cultured before treatment, using nasopharyngeal swabs and bronchoalveolar lavage, finding that NPS cultures did not accurately predict BAL cultures.
