Metritis and Endometritis in High Yielding Dairy Cows
G. Opsomer, A. de Kruif
Pages: 6
Publisher: Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift
Language: English
Edition: 78(2): 83-88, 2009
Description
Since a few decades, dairy cows have shown a steep increase in milk production, which is unfortunately accompanied by a dramatic decline in reproductive performance. In these high yielding cows there are more puerperal problems than in low yielding cows, such as retained placenta, acute metritis and abnormal vaginal discharge. Cows affected by retained placenta and/or acute metritis are furthermore at a significantly higher risk of other typical ‘dairy cow diseases’ as acetonaemia, left displaced abomasum and cystic ovarian disease.
