Assessment of the physical and chemical properties of vaginal discharge for the diagnosis of endometritis in dairy cattle
The combined evaluation of vaginal discharge pH and LE activity offers a practical, cost-effective cow-side screening method for diagnosing endometritis in dairy cattle. In contrast, TDS, salinity, and EC measurements were not diagnostically informative. The proposed approach may enhance herd health management by enabling timely identification and treatment of endometritis.
