This manuscript focuses on potential changes in reproductive physiology that occur due to
high milk production in lactating dairy cows. Four reproductive measures are discussed …

The postpartum period is defined as the time between parturition and completion of uterine
involution, around 40 days later. After parturition and before the next pregnancy is likely to …

Estrogens have proven to be effective in bovine estrus induction protocols. Considering the
extensive use of these products in large-scale estrus synchronization, the primary objective …

The periparturient period is perhaps the most critical few weeks in the whole reproductive
process. Infectious disease and nutritional errors in late gestation can result in complications …

The objective of this study was to characterize the circulating concentrations of estradiol-17β
(E-17β) after treatment with different types or doses of estrogens in the absence (Experiment …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of time of first postpartum ovulation
after calving on uterine involution in dairy cows with and without uterine puerperal disease …

Our objectives were to determine lactational and reproductive outcomes in response to
increased milking frequency (MF), injection of estradiol cypionate (ECP), and treatment with …

The increase of milk yield in dairy cows during the last decades has been accompanied by a
reduction in fertility. This decline in reproductive performance is most likely caused by the …

ABSTRACT Multiparous Hereford× Angus postpartum cows were used to determine the
effects of treatment with estradiol cypionate (ECP) on estrus and luteal activity (LA) of thin (< …
