Q fever is a zoonotic disease that has been associated with reproductive problems in animals. As there little epidemiological data regarding the distribution and risk factors of this disorder cattle, objective study was to evaluate prevalence Coxiella burnetii among dairy herds northwest Spain, determine on-farm its effects on performance. Bulk tank milk (BTM) samples were collected from 262 commercial A Coruña, Lugo, Pontevedra provinces. Data about location, mean age, herd management...
This study examined the prevalence and risk factors of repeat breeder syndrome (RB) in 2370 dairy cows northern Spain. Data collected included postpartum pathologies, metabolic markers, productive reproductive parameters. The overall RB was 21.1%. In primiparous cows, body condition loss (Odds Ratio (OR): 2.9–8.1, depending on severity), ketosis (OR: 3.5), lameness 3.4), clinical mastitis 4.2), dystocia 5.2), endometritis 12.2) significantly increased risk. Summer 0.4) or autumn 0.6)...
The aim of this study was to verify the importance postpartum serum levels certain metabolic markers as risk factors for subclinical endometritis (SE). Ninety-four Holstein cows were included in study, and examinations carried out between 30-45 days postpartum. Rectal palpation, vaginoscopy, transrectal ultrasound, endometrial cytology, blood sample collections performed. percentage polymorphonuclear neutrophils (%PMN) on endometrium evaluated, well glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride,...
Anogenital distance (AGD) is a marker of the degree prenatal exposure to androgens in multiple species, and it has been suggested that there an inverse association between AGD fertility. Therefore, aim this study was determine usefulness anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations, indirect follicular population, as predictors future reproductive potential Holstein cattle. The measured 566 females from 9 dairy farms Galicia (Spain). A group 172 underwent second measurement months after....
Contents Studies performed on ejaculates from several species have identified discrete subpopulations of motile sperm. In dogs, sperm also been described in fresh and frozen‐thawed semen. The subpopulation the most rapid progressively has suggested to be likely source fertilizing spermatozoa. However, significance differences among dogs relative fertility is not known. aim this study was investigate relationship between proportion dog semen samples their ability bind zona pellucida canine...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence subclinical endometritis (SE) on reproductive performance dairy cows. Ninety-four cows parity 1 8, distributed in 25 herds, were examined once between 30 and 45 days milk using transrectal palpation, vaginoscopy ultrasonography. A cytological sample endometrium taken only from with an apparent healthy uterus (n=65). Serum glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids, β-hydroxybutyrate, proteins, albumin, urea...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect facility comfort level on animal-based welfare indicators as well productive and reproductive parameters 187 dairy farms in northwest Spain. Fifty-eight facility-based parameters, which included both housing facilities management were evaluated each farm used classify 5 groups (from 1: top 5: worst farms). Animal-based compared among groups. Lameness score significantly differed (p < .005) (67% cows having normal gait) versus 4 (55%) (53%)....
