A sound nutrition program helps promote a healthy uterus during and after calving and enables cows to perform at their best. http://www.dairyherd.com/dairy-resources/fresh-cow/metritis/Metritis-impacts-key-cow-performance-parameters-149627945.html Recent research shows that dairy cow feeding behavior during the early transition period is an indicator of metritis risk. http://www.dairyherd.com/dairy-resources/fresh-cow/metritis/Mycoplasma-mastitis-143854976.html Mycoplasma mastitis is highly contagious. Rapid identification reduces the spread of infection among the lactating herd. http://www.dairyherd.com/dairy-resources/fresh-cow/metritis/Study-Subclinical-milk-fever-linked-to-metritis-139871343.html Fresh cows with subclinical hypocalcemia had an increased incidence of metritis compared to cows with normal blood calcium levels. http://www.dairyherd.com/dairy-resources/fresh-cow/metritis/Ketosis-and-metritis-can-flare-with-rising-temperatures-128212668.html Heat stress can add fuel to the flames when it comes to fresh cow risk factors for metritis. Ketosis is a fresh cow disease that is highly linked to metritis. Around 15 percent of early lactation, at-risk cows have subclinical ketosis in the first week after calving. In addition, cows with ketosis are 13.8 times more likely to develop a displaced abomasum and 1.7 times more likely to be challenged by metritis. Metritis incidence also climbs during periods of heat stress, costing producers between $304 and $354 in lost production and performance per case.
