Periparturient uterine prolapse in Holstein cows is linked to calving difficulties (dystocia) and milk fever. Dystocia increased prolapse risk fivefold, while milk fever tripled the risk, highlighting key areas for prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Science
  • Reproductive Epidemiology

Background:

  • Periparturient uterine prolapse is a significant reproductive disorder in dairy cattle.
  • Identifying risk factors is crucial for improving herd health and productivity.
  • Previous studies have suggested various contributing factors, but specific associations require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and quantify risk factors associated with periparturient uterine prolapse in Holstein cows.
  • To analyze the impact of specific calving-related conditions on the incidence of uterine prolapse.

Main Methods:

  • A nested case-control study design was employed.
  • Data from 4173 lactations over 5 years from 17 Holstein dairies were analyzed.

  • Logistic regression modeling was used to assess the risk associated with milk fever, dystocia, calf sex, and stillbirth.

    • Main Results:

    • The overall incidence rate of uterine prolapse was 0.6%.
    • Dystocia was found to increase the risk of uterine prolapse by five times (OR=5).
    • Milk fever (hypocalcemia) increased the risk of uterine prolapse by three times (OR=3).

    Conclusions:

    • Dystocia and milk fever are significant risk factors for periparturient uterine prolapse in Holstein dairy cows.
    • Effective management of calving difficulties and metabolic disorders like milk fever may reduce the incidence of uterine prolapse.
    • Further research could explore preventative strategies targeting these identified risk factors.
