“…This effect was quite equal regardless whether single/twin birth and calving performance were additionally considered in the model or not. These results are at least partly in agreement with those of J oosten et al (1991) who observed an increased incidence of retained placenta after gestation periods of 260–270 days.…”

There was evidence (Figure 1) that not only short gestation periods led to a substantial increase of the incidence of retained placenta as reported by C hassagne and B arnouin (1992) and J oosten et al (1991), but also long gestation periods although in a less degree.…”

“…The results obtained for effects on the incidence of retained placenta largely confirm those in literature. Among others, the influence of twin births (C orrea et al 1993; K albe and S chulz 1989), dystocia and difficult calvings (E manuelson et al 1993; S chwenger et al 1989), length of gestation period and retained placenta at previous calving (J oosten et al 1991) was also observed in the analysed data set of the experimental herd. The same is true for the unfavourable effects of retained placenta on the number of days open (e.g.…”

“…The aetiology of retained placenta has been extensively studied and many factors causing its incidence have been dealt with, such as: twin birth, stillbirth, calving difficulties and dystocia, high parity, short gestation period, extreme calf weights, retained placenta at previous calving, calving‐month, high milk performance, overfeeding in the dry period and the incidence of related diseases (K albe and S chulz 1989; N ielen et al 1989; D istl et al 1991; J oosten et al 1991; C orrea et al 1993; E manuelson et al 1993; G off and H orst 1997; for a dicussion see L aven and P eters 1996). Furthermore, deficiency of β‐carotine, calcium, prostaglandine‐F2α or oestrogen may lead to retained placenta (G runert et al 1989; C orrea et al 1990; H euwieser et al 1992).…”

Summary Analyses were conducted to estimate the influence of environmental effects, the genetic determination of retained placenta and its genetic and phenotypic relationships to some production and reproduction traits. Data were recorded in an experimental Simmental herd in Lower Austria. After applying restrictions, 2895 records of first and 2082 of second calving remained. For estimation of variance–covariance components a REML procedure based on an animal model was used. All estimates for heritabilities and phenotypic correlations of threshold traits were transformed to a hypothetical underlying normal distribution. The estimated heritabilities of retained placenta at first and second calving were 0.14 and 0.07 with a genetic correlation of 0.79. For twinning rate the corresponding figures were 0.19, 0.02 and 1.00, respectively. High genetic correlations were estimated for retained placenta and birth weight of calf at first parity (0.49) as well as between retained placenta and twinning rate at second calving (0.99). The estimated genetic correlations between retained placenta at first and second calving and first lactation milk yield were 0.14 and 0.56 and between retained placenta at first calving and subsequent days open 0.54. Phenotypic correlations were mostly equal in sign but substantially smaller than the corresponding genetic correlations. No significant genetic cytoplasmic effects could be found for retained placenta. There was strong evidence (p < 0.001) that twin‐births, calving difficulties (dystocia) and relatively short and long gestation periods substantially affected the incidence of retained placenta. Partial and complete retention of the placenta at first calving led to an increase of 34 and 4 days open (p < 0.001), respectively. The estimated decrease of first lactation milk yield (250 days) was 67 and 128 kg due to partial and complete retention of the placenta (p = 0.154). The results obtained suggest that the genetic determination of placental retention is strong enough to be considered in breeding strategies even if its heritability should be somewhat lower under field conditions than in the analysed experimental herd. Zusammenfassung Nachgeburtsverhaltung: Nicht‐genetische Effekte, genetische Determinierung und Korrelationen zu relevanten Leistungsmerkmalen beim Rind Ziel der vorliegenden Untersuchung war die Schätzung der genetischen Determinierung und des Einflusses nicht‐genetischer Effekte auf zeitliche Unterschiede im Abgang der Nachgeburt beim Rind, sowie deren genetische und phänotypische Korrelation zu relevanten Milchleistungs‐ und Reproduktionsmerkmalen. Für die Untersuchung standen die Milchleistungsprüfergebnisse der Jahre 1972 bis 1995 von Tieren der Fleckvieh‐Versuchsherde der niederösterreichischen Bundesversuchswirtschaft Wieselburg zur Verfügung, bei denen das Merkmal ‘Nachgeburtsverhaltung’ erhoben worden war (2895 bzw. 2082 Erhebungen für 1. bzw. 2. Abkalbung). Die geschätzte Heritabilität für das Merkmal Nachgeburtsverhaltung betrug für die 1. und 2. Abkalbung 0.14...

“…2,3 Reported herd incidences of RP range from 1.3% to 39.2%, with a median of 8.6%. [5][6][7] Joosten et al 8,9 found that even after normal pregnancy and parturition, excluding known risk factors of RP, RP still occurred in 4.1% of calvings. Several studies have shown that immune-mediated rejection of the fetal membranes by the maternal immune system plays an important role in the breakdown of the fetal-maternal attach-ment.…”

We concluded that in two-way compatible pregnancies, the maternal immune system fails to reject the fetal membranes, and the fetal immune system does not mount an immune response against maternal MHC class I antigens that could influence the immune-mediated rejection of the fetal membranes by the maternal immune system. The lack of immune-mediated rejection of the fetal membranes by the maternal immune system increases the risk of occurrence of RP.
