Endometritis

treatment
-
-
should be delayed until at least 4 weeks after calving - early treatment of otherwise well cows has shown no benefit
-
pathogenesis may be linked to impaired immune response, probably related to a negative energy balance
cows are more resistant to uterine infection during oestrus and as cows undergo more oestrous cycles after parturition, the prevalence of endometritis diminishes
cervix dilates and the vestibule and vagina relaxes, resulting in the natural barriers and bacterial defences being temporarily impaired
-
effects
-
even when they cycle, the cows are less likely to get pregnant due to infected uterine environment
inflammation of the endometrium more than 21 days post part and not associated with systemic signs of illness
