“…The presence of bacteria in the uterus can be accurately diagnosed using an on-farm bacteriological culture system (Tri-plate). This way, we can contribute to our antibiotic use to be as rational as possible on our dairy farm [60].…”

Parallel with the successful genetic selection for higher milk production in Holstein-Friesian cows, a dramatic decline in fertility rates has been observed around the world. Therefore, to achieve an optimum herd reproductive performance, we must focus on the first 100 days postpartum. During and after calving, a cow overcomes a series of physiological hurdles before becoming pregnant. By selecting accurate diagnostic devices and/or methods, such as predicting the onset of calving, monitoring activity and rumination time to determine cows for early treatment of clinical metritis and/or metabolic diseases, long-term measurement of reticuloruminal pH to monitor subclinical acidosis, perform metabolic profile tests to diagnose subclinical metabolic diseases at the herd level, estrous detectors and/or detection aids, on-farm/in-line P4 test to monitor specific events in the postpartum periods, diagnosis of early pregnancy and pregnancy loss using ultrasonography to correctly identify problems and their potential causes to enable these issues are to be rectified. Despite higher milk production, acceptable fertility results can be achieved, even on large-scale dairy farms, if the impacts of the above factors that contribute to reduced fertility can be moderated. The advantages and disadvantages of the different diagnostic methods are discussed to help the dairy select the most accurate method.

“…The leading cause of endometritis in dairy cows is uterine infection primarily by pathogenic streptococci and staphylococci, Escherichia coli, Coryne bacterium pyogenes and well as mycoplasma (Yang, 2021;Barbeau-Grégoire et al, 2021). Clinical treatments are primarily based on administration of antibiotics, hormones and trace elements as well as surgical stripping (Ludbey et al, 2022).…”

Endometritis is a frequent postpartum disease of dairy cows and inflicts considerable distress on the animals and costs to the dairy industry. This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of Chinese and Western Medicine combination treatments for dairy cow endometritis to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of these infections. This analysis provides new information for veterinary medical research. We used the keywords ‘Chinese and Western Medicine, Traditional and Western Medicine, Chinese herbs, Traditional Chinese Medicine Traditional Medicine, Chinese, Zhong Yi Xue, Chinese Traditional Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Traditional, Endometritis, Metritis and Cow to assess relevant literature sources collected in CNKI, Wanfang, Vepsa, China Patent Information Network, PubMed, Web of Science and other domestic and foreign databases. We utilized Cochrane system instructions to perform a meta-analysis using RevMan 5. 3 and Stata 16.0 software. We identified 13 randomized clinical trials (RCT) involving 847 dairy cows including cows 435 treated with a combination of Chinese and Western Medicine and 412 cows treated with the Western Medicine approach. The effectiveness for the combination therapy was better than that of the control (antibiotic only) where the relative risk was 1.19 with 95% CI (1.12, 1.26) and Z =5.96, P less than 0.01. We found no significant heterogeneity between these studies (I2=0 less than 50%, P =0.50 less than 0.1) and publication bias was absent as investigated through funnel plots and the Egger regression model (P=0.197 greater than 0.05). These results indicated that although the Chinese herbal preparations differed between studies (n=13), when coupled with Western antibiotic treatments the animals recovered faster than did the control Western antibiotic treatments. These randomized control studies indicated that the efficacy of Chinese and Western Medicine on endometritis in dairy cows is greater than that of Western Medicine treatments.
