“…(2014), Bitew and Shiv (2011), Dawit and Ahmed (2013) and Gashaw et al (2011) [22,24,25,26] reported prevalence of uterine prolapse as 0.76%, 0.65%, 0.43% and 0.50% respectively which is very low in comparison to the information recorded during the present study. In the present study the prevalence rate of uterine infection was found to be 12% and 8% for soil bedded shed and concrete bedded shed respectively, which is in agreement with the Kumari et al (2016) [27] , who reported the prevalence of uterine infection around 10.32% in Zebu cattle in India. However, higher incidence rate of 18.5% to 21% was reported by Drillich et al (2006) and Benzaquen et al (2007) [28,29] respectively.…”

The behavioral response to the selected micro environment is one of the important tools for scientific assessment of welfare of the dairy animals. The study was conducted in 5 number of soil bedded sheds and 5 number of concrete bedded sheds in Kamrup (Metro) District of Assam to assess the behavioral responses of the cross bred dairy cattle in small holders' production system. From each shed 5 number of dairy cows were selected preferably of 1-2 months of lactation stage. The selected animals were observed for three occasions at 30 days interval for 3 hours daily on 12 hours basis. The time spent (Mean±SE) for rumination, resting and sleeping were recorded as 184.60±1.54, 262.70±0.87 and 53.78±1.38 minutes and 190.40±1.50, 265.60±0.72 and 49.40±1.26 respectively. There was a highly significant difference between both the types of floor (P≤ 0.01) for rumination and resting time. The overall prevalence of post parturition problems were higher (40%) in soil bedded floor than that of concrete bedded floor (20%). The animal welfare issues were compromised on the soil bedded floor type in comparison to concrete bedded floor type of shed.

“…The incidence of metritis, including retained placenta, was 21% in a survey of 97,318 Holstein cows in the USA [32]; and, the incidence of endometritis was 19% in 19,870 Holstein cows in Germany [33]. Metritis is also important in purebred and crossbred Bos indicus dairy cows and buffalo; the incidence of metritis was 10.3%, 22.6%, and 9.7% in 1,609 Sahiwal lactations, 2,549 crossbred Holstein x Tharparkar lactations, and 1,604 Murrah buffalo lactations, respectively [34]. The greatest impact of uterine disease, is that there is reduced fertility even after successful treatment.…”

Preventing Postpartum Uterine Disease in Dairy Cattle Depends on Avoiding, Tolerating and Resisting Pathogenic Bacteria

Up to forty percent of dairy cows can develop metritis or endometritis when bacteria infect the uterus after parturition. However, it is unclear why other cows exposed to similar pathogens do not develop uterine disease. We suggest that resilient dairy cows prevent the development of uterine disease using the three complimentary defensive strategies of avoiding, tolerating and resisting infection with pathogenic bacteria. Avoidance maintains health by limiting the exposure to pathogens. Avoidance includes intrinsic behaviors to prevent exposure to pathogens or infected animals, perhaps signaled by the fetid odor of uterine disease. Tolerance improves health by limiting the tissue damage caused by the pathogen burden. Tolerance depends on controlling the tissue damage that pathogens cause in the endometrium by neutralizing bacterial toxins, enhancing tissue repair, and inducing adaptive metabolic responses. Resistance improves health by limiting the pathogen burden. Resistance relies on the immune system generating an inflammatory response in the endometrium to eliminate pathogenic bacteria. People who manage dairy cows can also help prevent uterine disease by using extended lactations, avoiding trauma to the genital tract, maintaining hygiene, and supplying appropriate nutrition during the transition period and after parturition to counter the metabolic stress of lactation. Developing new ways to prevent uterine disease depends on increasing our understanding of the mechanisms of avoidance, tolerance and resistance to pathogens in the postpartum uterus.

“…Metritis is a sequel of dystocia which may occur due to secondary bacterial infections or due to manipulation while handling a clinical case (Dohmen et al, 2000). Metritis further affects reproductive potential further leading to anoestrous and repeat breeding (Kumari et al, 2016). Repeat breeding was highly significant with mastitis (p<0.01).…”

The present study was undertaken to determine the predisposition of one transitional disease on the other in various dairy animals of Punjab. For this purpose, a total of 250 respondents were randomly selected and were interviewed personally from various parts of Punjab through a structured interview schedule. Among the various transitional diseases in dairy farms, anoestrus was found to be high (59.00%) followed by mastitis (52.00%). Dystokia was found to be highly significant (p<0.01) with transitional diseases such as Retention of Placenta (ROP) and metritis. ROP had highly significant variation (p<0.01) with diseases such as dystokia, mastitis, ketosis and metritis. Anoestrus was found to be significant (p<0.05) with repeat breeding. Ketosis was found to be highly significant with anoestrus (p<0.01). Milk fever varied significantly with dystokia and ROP (p<0.05). Metritis had significance with dystokia, mastitis, anoestrus and milk fever (p<0.01). Also, repeat breeding was highly significant (p<0.01) with mastitis. Thus, it was concluded that presence of one transitional disease can predispose the dairy animal to other transitional diseases as well. Hence, farmers are educated on transitional disease management through training and other extension and advisory services.
