Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Early and late postpartum is the most delicate and important moment in bovine reproduction management because of the various physiological modifications of the reproductive tract and of the metabolic and immunological changes (e.g., immunosupression, NEB) that the cow undergoes.  

Ovarian and uterine pathologies together with uterine environment disorders and managerial mistakes are the most important problems affecting fertility in dairy and beef cows. For years, new approaches to postpartum pathologies and, in general, to the factors affecting bovine fertility have been investigated in order to improve conceptions in farms.  

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research papers, case studies, and review articles focusing on the latest advances in the pathology of reproduction and any factor that could affect fertility in dairy and beef cows. Furthermore, this issue is interested in studies on the clinical methods of diagnosis, biological markers, and new treatments and tools that could help to prevent the main reproductive problems in order to improve fertility in cattle.
