is emerging as a ubiquitous multidrug-resistant pathogen circulating among animals, humans, and their environment. The current study focused on molecular epidemiology and evidence-based treatment against from bovine endometritis. For this study, = 304 cattle were screened for endometritis using ultrasonography while presenting case history, and clinical signs were also considered.

Use of antibiotics without following standard guidelines is routine practice in developing countries which is giving rise to genetic divergence and increased drug resistance. The current study analyzed genetic divergence and drug resistance by and therapeutic efficacy of novel antibiotic combinations. The study revealed that 42.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become the predominant etiology of endometritis and thus require effective treatment approaches. We used ultrasonography coupled with clinical signs and presented complaints of reproductive issues to investigate the epidemiology, phylogenetic analysis, antimicrobial resistance, and development of novel therapeutics against isolated from endometritis in bovine ( = 304 from 10 commercial dairy farms). The prevalence of bovine endometritis in this study was 43.

The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of follicle size on recovery rate, quality, and developmental competence of oocytes in cows. The ovaries (n = 507) of cows having age of 5-8 years, with mixed parity, BCS 2.75 ± 0.

Treatments with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to enhance ovarian follicular development before ovum pick-up (OPU) are important for improving in-vitro embryo production (IVEP) procedures in cows, however, their procedural efficacy needs to be evaluated. The objective of the present study was to use meta-analytic methods to determine the effects of FSH treatments prior to OPU when there is progestin-priming on ovarian functions and IVEP in parous Bos taurus cows (n = 243). The literature was systematically reviewed and data from eight experiments, with 23 treatment means including 448 OPU sessions, were used for analyses.

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of photoperiodicity, gauge (G) of ovum pick-up (OPU) needle, and two methods of follicular wave emergence on follicular turn-over, oocyte recovery (OR), quality of the oocytes (OQ), and early in-vitro developmental competence of embryos in Nili-Ravi buffaloes (n = 20). In 1 experiment, buffaloes (n = 12; 4 buffaloes/season) were randomly assigned to optimize the OPU's (n) either with 17 G or 18 G needle in one of the following seasons: 1) peak breeding season (PBS; Sep-Nov; n = 31), 2) transition breeding season (TBS; Dec-Feb; n = 32), and 3) low breeding season (LBS; Apr-June; n = 32). During 2 experiment, buffaloes (n = 8) were enrolled randomly in a 2 × 2 cross-over design to compare the two methods of wave emergence either using follicular ablation (FA; n = 4), or synchronization protocol (CIDR-EB; n = 4) during PBS.

The objective of present study was to determine the effect of plasma progesterone (P4) on oocyte recovery, oocyte quality, and early in-vitro developmental competence of embryos in Bos indicus dairy cows. The ovaries were collected in an abattoir. These ovaries (n = 750) were divided into two groups: 1) estrous CYCLIC (n = 318), and 2) estrous ACYCLIC (n = 432).
