Should Genetics Be Blamed for High Incidence of Uterine Disease in Dairy Cows?

Klibs N. Galvao, Christopher M. Seabury, andPablo Pinedo

Uterine diseases are highly prevalent in high-producing dairy cows. They have been associated with decreased pregnancy per artificial insemination (AI), extended interval to pregnancy, increased culling, and economic losses. This 3-page fact sheet presents the results of a recent paper that examined how alterations on the TLR genes, which control innate immune response, affect the susceptibility to uterine diseases.
