Monitoring metabolic health of dairy cattle in the transition period. (2010, methodology): “Accurate diagnosis of clinical endometritis requires examination of discharge in the vagina after a minimum of 3 weeks postpartum [23], which may be done with a vaginoscope, clean gloved hand, or a Metricheck device [41].”
Clinical evaluation of postpartum vaginal mucus reflects uterine bacterial infection and the immune response in cattle. (2005, background): “Thus, endometritis is associated with lower conception rates, increased intervals from calving to first service or conception, and more culls for failure to conceive [5,11–13].”
Defining postpartum uterine disease in cattle. (2006, background): “Thus, although the pathology of interest involves the uterus, palpation of the uterus to asses its size lacks diagnostic accuracy [7,55].”
Endometrial cytology and ultrasonography for the detection of subclinical endometritis in postpartum dairy cows. (2004, methodology): “A vaginoscopic examination to detect abnormal uterine discharge is a more sensitive and specific method for detection of endometritis than transrectal palpation [9,27].”
Neutrophil function and energy status in Holstein cows with uterine health disorders. (2006, background): “Metritis and endometritis (LeBlanc et al., 2002) are prevalent in dairy herds and contribute to increased days to first breeding, decreased conception rate and pregnancy rate, and increased culling.”
Defining Postpartum Uterine Disease and the Mechanisms of Infection and Immunity in the Female Reproductive Tract in Cattle (2009, neutral): “Conception rates are about 20% lower for cows with endometritis, the median calving to conception interval is 30 days longer, and there are 3% more animals culled for failure to conceive [20, 21].”
