EXPRESSION OF GENES ASSOCIATED WITH IMMUNITY IN THE ENDOMETRIUM OF CATTLE WITH DISPARATE POSTPARTUM UTERINE DISEASE AND FERTILITY

Abstract Background Contamination of the uterine lumen with bacteria is ubiquitous in cattle after parturition.Some animals develop endometritis and have reduced fertility but others have no uterine disease and readily conceive.The present study tested the hypothesis that postpartum cattle that develop persistent endometritis and infertility are un
