Article Synopsis
- - Postpartum uterine disease, specifically metritis and endometritis, negatively impacts ovarian function in dairy cows, affecting hormone levels and follicle development based on timing.
- - Metritis within 14 days postpartum is linked to reduced follicle size and lower estrogen and progesterone levels, while endometritis occurring after 15 days post-birth is associated with decreased corpus luteum size but not progesterone levels.
- - Long-term effects of uterine infections induced by bacteria did not show significant changes in luteal function after several months, suggesting that the immediate postpartum period is critical for monitoring ovarian health in cows.
