the objectives of this study were to 1) describe the risk factors, incidence, production and reproduction consequences of retained placenta in dairy cows, and 2) estimate the financial losses associated with retained placenta. calving records from march 2008 to december 2013 comprising 59,341 calving were included in the data set. the effects of risk factors on retained placenta incidence were ...

to investigate the effects of certain factors on the rate of retained placenta, 2844 calving records from 1288 holstein cows in a herd were used. these cows calved during year period of 2001 to 2007. a generalized statistical linear model was applied to analyze the data. logistic regression model was applied as the statistical model. in the model, fixed effects of year, season (warm or cold) an...

Background: Approximately 3% to 5% of obstetric patients will experience postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Even though the most common reason for postpartum hemorrhage, as the main cause of maternal death, is uterine atony; other complications such as laceration, hematoma, inversion, rupture; retained tissue or invasive placenta; and coagulopathy may result in PPH. The main cause of retained placent...

This study was motivated by the hypothesis that the incidence of retained placenta (RP) in Friesian horses is associated with inbreeding. The objectives were to 1) calculate the inbreeding rate in the total registered Friesian horse population; 2) study the association of the inbreeding coefficient of the foal and the mare with the incidence of RP; and 3) study the heritability of RP in Friesia...

Laminitis (also known as Founder) is one of the most devastating and feared diseases from which horses can suffer . It is caused by extremely painful inflammation in the sensitive laminae in the hoof, and can result in death or permanent lameness . Recent research has shed new light on the causes of laminitis . Most importantly, we now know what owners can do to minimize their own horse’s risk ...
