“…The estrogen will increase the growth of the genital tract, so the cervix was produce mucosal cells and the process of cervical mucus secretion is beginning. Lu and Morresey (2006) stated that transported estrogen is binding to proteins in the bloodstream affects the supply of blood to the genital tract and stimulates swelling of mucus cells in the cervix, so that mucus can be produced. Estrogen in the blood affects the adrenal hormone, which increases blood pressure on the cervix and increasing permeability goblet cells inside so that mucus can come out (Tanjung et al, 2015).…”

“…Spinnbarkeit is influenced by the acidity of cervical mucus and the function of cervical mucus as an antibacterial non-immune in the reproductive tract of cow. Lu and Morresey (2006) stated that estrogen secretion of cervical mucus causes uterus to resist the infection. Cervical mucus that contained with lysozime enzyme was connected with the hydrolisis process of bacterial cell membranes.…”

“…Lysozyme is an enzyme that fights bacterial cells in the cervical mucus. Lu and Morresey (2006) stated that lysozyme is a protection against grampositive bacteria by hydrolysis, lysozyme naturally contained in tears, mucus, milk and saliva. Lysozyme in the cervical mucus acts as a local defense mechanism against bacteria that get in through the cervix from female external genitalia.…”

Objectives of this study were to compare the percentage of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and cervical mucus profile which includes potential of Hydrogen (pH), abundance of cervical mucus, spinnbarkeit and ferning of dairy cattle at different age during estrus cycle. Thirty Two head of dairy cattle were used as materials which are 2 years old (n = 2), 3 years old (n = 18), 4 years old (n = 8) and 5 years old (n=4). Dairy cattle were estrus synchronized using 50 mg/head of prostaglandin. Data was collected on 48, 72, 78, 84, 90, 120, 144 and 408 hours after prostaglandin administration. The data were analyzed by using non parametric statistic which was Kruskal-Wallis H test. The significant data was tested with Mann-Whitney U test. The result showed that the abundance of cervical mucus was significantly different (P<0.05; χ2 = 0.011) on 84 hours after estrus synchronization. However, level of NaCl, abundance, spinnbarkeit and ferning of cervical mucus was not sigificantly different. In conclusion, the age of dairy cattle did not affected to the condition NaCl percentage, spinnbarkeit, pH and ferning of cervical mucus, but affected to the abundance of cervical mucus on 84 hours after adminitration of prostaglandine.

“…Swabs are rarely the best choice for sampling bacterial infections because they collect a small amount of material, bacteria can be adsorbed to swab fibres further decreasing the effective sample volume, and they can be made with substances that inhibit bacterial growth (Songer and Post Guarded uterine swab (Fig 1) or culture from endometrial biopsy. Swabs may be less diagnostic than biopsies (Lu and Morresey 2006).…”

Summary Bacterial infections are common in equine practice, therefore it is important that diseases caused by these organisms are diagnosed accurately. Collection of appropriate samples in a correct and timely manner is fundamental to determining the causative agent. Furthermore, transportation of samples to the laboratory must ensure that the agents survive and can be identified. This paper outlines a recommended diagnostic approach when bacteria are suspected, the samples that may be obtained in order to confirm their presence, and the transportation requirements to facilitate their isolation in diagnostic laboratories.

“…The pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of bacterial equine endometritis is the uterine clearance ability. This term is used to subsume all host factors which may exert significant influence on the clinical outcome of a uterine bacterial infection (LeBlanc andCausey 2009, Lu andMorresey 2006).…”

SummaryBacterial infections of the genitial tract are the major cause of reproductive failure in the mare. The variety of bacteria involved has been carefully established in the past and is approved in recent studies. There are approved laboratory procedures for etiologic diagnostics of bacterial infections of the female equine genital tract. Innovative molecular based approaches aim at elucidating, for instance, potential transmission modes of opportunistic pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or at analysing genital microbial communities (microbiomes). The latter approach may provide new and more dynamic insights into the pathogenesis of genital infections since alteration of microbiomes is known to be associated with several pathogenic conditions.
