Journal ArticleDOI
Defining Postpartum Uterine Disease and the Mechanisms of Infection and Immunity in the Female Reproductive Tract in Cattle
TL;DR: Advances in knowledge about infection and immunity in the female genital tract should be exploited to develop new therapeutics for uterine disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring Metabolic Health of Dairy Cattle in the Transition Period
TL;DR: Methods, strategies, and interpretation of measurement of peripartum concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate as indicators of aspects of energy status and disease risk are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of nonesterified fatty acids and β-hydroxybutyrate in transition dairy cattle in the northeastern United States: critical thresholds for prediction of clinical diseases.
TL;DR: Postpartum serum NEFA concentration was most associated with the risk of developing DA, CK, metritis, or retained placenta during the first 30 d in milk, although prepartum NEFA and postpartum BHBA were both significantly associated with development of clinical disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the causes of poor fertility in high milk producing dairy cows.
TL;DR: Future strategies to improve dairy cow fertility are needed for the benefit of the dairy industry and for cow welfare and should be based upon an integrative approach of these events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prepartum behavior and dry matter intake identify dairy cows at risk for metritis
TL;DR: This research is the first to show that social behavior may play an important role in transition cow health and research is now required to determine how management should be changed to reduce or prevent illness in transition dairy cows.

Defining and diagnosing postpartum clinical endometritis and its impact on reproductive performance in dairy cows.
Stephen J. LeBlanc,Todd F. Duffield,Ken E. Leslie,K G Bateman,Greg Keefe,J.S. Walton,Walter H. Johnson +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of endometritis and its effects on reproductive performance of dairy cows
TL;DR: Endometritis diagnosed by endometrial cytology late in the voluntary waiting period was highly prevalent and exerted a profoundly detrimental effect on subsequent reproductive performance, making this condition potentially extremely costly to the North American dairy industry.
