Peripartal changes of metabolic and hormonal parameters in Romanian spotted cows and their relation with retained fetal membranes [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceThis clinical study investigates various metabolic and physiological parameters in dairy cows during puerperium. Retained fetal membranes (RFM) is a significant postpartum complication that can affect the overall health, fertility and productivity of dairy cattle. The research focuses on changes in total proteins, albumin, glucose, triglycerides, total

The Interplay between Oxidative Stress and Fatty Acids Profile in Romanian Spotted Cows with Placental Retention [PDF]
Veterinary Sciences(1) Background: Retained fetal membranes (RFM) in cattle negatively impact reproduction, calving intervals, and health. This study examined OS markers and fatty acid profiles in Romanian Spotted cattle, comparing cows with normal parturition to those with RFM.
