Uterine infection is one of the most common fresh-cow diseases. It causes reduced fertility, lower milk yields and a higher incidence of culling which, together with treatment costs, can result in losses of almost €300/case. Irish researchers led by Dr Erin Williams from the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine, are currently developing new methods for diagnosis and treatment of uterine diseases.

Farmers are invited to participate in a short online survey on the impact of uterine disease in cattle. See https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/uterinehealthFARMERS.
