This study investigates the impact of uterine disease on oocyte developmental capacity in dairy cows, finding reduced cleavage rates in oocytes collected at 1 month and 80 days postpartum but not at 165 days postpartum.

This study shows that early postpartum metritis in dairy cows leads to long-term uterine morphology changes, including adenomyosis and fibrosis, which affect reproductive success.
