The purpose was to identify differentially expressed plasma microRNAs (miRNAs) in cows with clinical and subclinical endometritis. In this study clinical endometritis (CE, n = 23) based on vaginal discharge score, subclinical endometritis (SCE, n = 17) based on vaginal discharge score (0), and endometrial cytology (the presence of 8% polymorphonucl...

Although xylazine is widely used in domestic animals as a sedative, analgesic, and muscle relaxant, its side effects on the uterus prevent its utilization in pregnant animals or in embryo transfer. Although the effects of xylazine on increasing uterine contractions have been confirmed, no reliable report of fetal death due to xylazine administratio...

Endometritis is one of the most common disorders that negatively influence reproductive performance in dairy cows. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive factors of the clinical cure of endometritis. A total of 700 Holstein dairy cows were examined for signs of clinical endometritis between 30 and 40 days in milk (the first exami...

The main aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of GnRH administration on day five after mating as well as PGF2α injection at the time of CIDR removal on the reproductive performance of Ghezel ewes. Estrus synchronization was performed using an intravaginal application of CIDR for 14 days and injection of 500 IU of PMSG at the time of...

The appropriate effects of supplementation with minerals and vitamins on reproductive performance have been well studied before. The object of this study was to determine the effect of prepartum supplementation with vitamin E and selenium on milk yield and reproductive performances in dairy cows. In this study, 247 Holstein dairy cows were selected...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence ovarian cysts at the same time as endometritis and to compare the reproductive performance following the treatment protocols for ovarian follicular cysts according to the status of endometritis in dairy cows. A total of 1500 dairy cows were evaluated for ovarian cysts between 30 to 4...

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of foodborne pathogenic bacteria in bovine milk, their antibiogram phenotype, and the carriage of antibiotic resistance genes. Raw bovine milk samples (n = 100) were randomly collected from different suppliers in the northwest of Iran. Antibiotic-resistant patterns and the presence of antibiotic resist...

Comparison of the antibacterial properties of milk from different domestic animals. This study aimed to compare the antimicrobial properties of milk from donkey, horse, goat, sheep, cow and camel. The antibacterial properties of samples were analysed against foodborne pathogenic bacteria held at 5, 10 and 20 °C during 96 h of storage. The highest a...

In the present study, the effect of intrauterine infusion of Zataria multiflora extract on the clinical endometritis was investigated. Vaginal examination, transrectal palpation and ultrasonography were used to inspect the genital tract at 30-40 days in milk and two weeks later the same approach was applied. Cows with clinical endometritis were ran...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the application of some strip test markers (i.e., leukocyte esterase (LE) activity, protein, nitrate and pH) for diagnosis of endometritis in dairy cows using vaginal fornix discharge. Also, the total white blood cell count (t-WBC/l) of this secretion and degenerative changes of neutrophils in cer...

Pituitary-specific transcription factor 1 (Pit-1) gene is one of the suggesting molecular genetic marker to improve the properties of milk production in dairy cattle, in recent decades. Previously, a polymorphic sequence in recognition site for HinfI restriction enzyme was identified in Pit-1 gene in cow. Molecular basis of this polymorphism is a s...

Lactoferrin (Lf), plays an important role in the innate immune system and defence mechanism of mammary gland of milk producing animals. The amount of lactoferrin increases during inflammatory process and viral infections. Many polymorphisms have been found in the bovine Lf Gene. The present study aimed to identify single-nucleotide polymorphic (SNP...

1. Antioxidant and methyl donor effects of betaine in experimental animal models have recently been demonstrated. The present study was therefore designed to examine the antioxidant effects of betaine on the antioxidant status and meat quality of breast muscles in broilers. 2. Cobb broilers were randomly divided into Control, Methionine low, Methio...

Uterine infection is one of the reproductive diseases that can have disturbing postpartum uterine health in cattle. Therefore, identification of resistant genotypes to uterine infection is important. Lactoferrin (LF) is one of the major antimicrobial compounds in the normal uterine discharges of cows. We hypothesized that allelic diversity in LF ge...
