Scopolamine is a parasympatholytic drug that can modulate uterine contractile activity. Based on the hypothesis that deficiency in uterine contractility is a cause of Repeat Breeder (RB) syndrome in cows, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of scopolamine administration in RB cows, on the day ...

SCE has been implicated as the most common cause of failure of conception or repeat breeding syndrome in cattle and buffalo population of the country causing a heavy economic loss to dairy sector. Subclinical endometritis (SCE), also known as cytological endometritis, is the inflammation of...

An eighteen months old Labrador bitch was presented with history of dystocia for twelve hours after whelping a dead pup. Administration of oxytocin and calcium gluconate by field veterinarian failed to relive the dystocia. Ultrasonography revealed presence of two live fetuses in the uterus and one...

Husky, a popular working dog has very low incidence of dystocia associated with uterine inertia. The present report describes dystocia due to partial primary uterine inertia in a Husky bitch and its management by Caesarian section.

Guidelines in caring for the dam (mother animal) on its udder and uterine health after parturition are discussed as well as the care for the newborn animal during the postpartum period.

This paper describes the pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment of uterine torsion, dystocia, placental retention, peripartum colic and endometritis in mares.

The effect of vitamin K on bovine endometrial epithelial cells has not been thoroughly investigated. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of the biologically active form of vitamin K, menaquinone-4, on gene expression in bovine endometrial epithelial cells. First, we examined the...

Uterine secretions provide a suitable environment for sperm selective migration during a couple of days preceding ovulation and for early embryo development before implantation. Our goal was to identify and quantify proteins in the bovine uterine fluid during the periovulatory period of the estrous ...

The article presents a technical solution for the intrauterine pressure sensor in cows, based on the use of the piezoelectric effect. The results obtained indicate a sufficiently high sensitivity of the sensor and reliable performance of the device that provides registration of uterine contractions ...

Collagen, the most abundant extra-cellular matrix in the reproductive tract, performs a critical role in pregnancy. Although detecting damaged collagen in tissues is challenging, we recently developed a new in situ detection method using a denatured collagen detection reagent in bovine oviducts and ...
