- Abstract
Around half of dairy cows suffer from diseases associated with parturition that affect reproductive efficiency. A total of 2,364 lactations were studied to assess the impact of disease within 21 days postpartum (combined and individually) on culling prior to first service, conception to first service, and pregnancy losses from 35 to 100 days. In healthy cows, culling prior to first service was 4.95% and in sick cows it was 15.95% (OR=6.68; P≤0.0001). Culling was 8.93% in cows with metritis (OR=6.33; P≤0.0001) and 19.12% in cows with ketosis (OR=6.84; P=0.001). In healthy cows, conception rate was 36.16% and in sick cows was 30.12% (OR=0.75; P=0.052). Conception rate was 29.04% in cows with metritis (OR=0.71; P=0.084) and 30.49% in cows with ketosis (OR=0.59; P=0.068). Pregnancy losses in healthy cows were 11.29% and in sick cows were 14.73% (OR=0.77; P=0.54). Diseases associated with parturition combined or metritis and ketosis individually, increased culling prior to first service, decreased conception, but did not affect pregnancy losses.
