Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the results histopathological examination uterus healthy cows and that have recovered from metritis. 
 Materials Methods: materials obtained slaughterhouse were divided into two groups: (no metritis; Group N; n=10) had metritis about 45 days ago (metritis; M; n=10). Sections taken both groups stained with hematoxylin eosin (H&E) for pathol...

Uterine diseases such as metritis and endometritis are highly prevalent in high producing dairy cows. These diseases lead to impaired welfare and fertility, and result in economic loss. The objective of this review article is to provide the current understanding of the underlying causes of uterine diseases and to provide some strategies to prevent them. The causes of uterine diseases are comple...

We investigated the concentration of the bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the blood, ovarian follicular fluid and uterine fluid of a clinical case of bovine metritis. A 2-year-old lactating Holstein cow exhibited continuous fever >39.5°C for more than 2 weeks after normal calving. The cow produced a fetid, watery, red-brown uterine discharge from the vagina and was diagnosed with...

BACKGROUND Disturbed uterine involution impairs ovarian function in the first weeks after calving. This study analyzed the long-term effect of metritis on luteal function of 47 lactating Holstein-Friesian cows during the first four postpartum estrous cycles. Cows with abnormal uterine enlargement and malodorous lochia were classified as having metritis (group M, n = 18), and all others were con...

BACKGROUND Acute puerperal metritis affects cows during the early postpartum period and causes fever, fetid vaginal discharge and general depression. The disease is severe and treatment with antimicrobials is often required. This study followed 79 Swedish dairy cows with acute puerperal metritis with registered treatment and outcome in terms of recovery. Bacteria isolated from the uterus and th...

Delayed conception is defined as an interval of greater than 90 days postpartum before a cow becomes pregnant again. In this study, the risk factors for delayed conception in Korean dairy herds were determined by evaluating several reproductive factors in individual cows. The following data was recorded from 1,012 pregnancies in eight dairy herds (designated A-H) from July 2001 to June 2006: he...

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of metritis and subclinical hypocalcemia on reduction of uterine size in dairy cows using ultrasonography and sonomicrometry. Four piezoelectric crystals were implanted via laparotomy into the myometrium of the pregnant uterine horn of 12 pluriparous Holstein Friesian cows 3 weeks before the calculated calving date. Sonometric measurements ...

etritis is an inflammation of the uterus caused by bacterial infection, and is a common, costly, even life-threatening disease of dairy cows. Clinical metritis most commonly occurs in the first 10 days post-calving, and affected cows may subsequently exhibit poor reproductive performance with irregular estrous cycles, lower conception rates, and greater intervals from calving to pregnancy. Clin...

backgrounds: uterine infection is a amajor problem in reproductive management. objectives: the aim of this study was to find out the common pathological condition of cattle and buffaloes' uteri in the ahwaz region and, also to compare uterilesions. methods: one hundred and thirty eight cattle and 101 buffalo uteri were examined for macroscopic lesions, opening them through the cervix to the ape...
