“…However, vaginal mucus test is not a common diagnosis method for veterinarians in Japan. The cytobrush method in cows has been established during the last decade (Kasimanickam et al, 2004(Kasimanickam et al, , 2005Barlund et al, 2008), and few veterinarians use the cytobrush method to detect endometritis. Considering the risk for endometritis in cows with COD, vaginal mucus test and endometrial cytology should be carried out as a general diagnosis method at 40-60 DPP in Japanese Black cattle.…”

“…Pathological conditions of the uterus were allocated into three groups by scoring vaginal mucus and PMN % (Barlund et al, 2008;Gobikrushanth et al, 2016). In this study, the cutoff value of PMN % was set at 8 % in accordance with previous reports which recommended 8 PMN % as a good diagnostic cutoff value to discriminate between normal and endometritis in dairy cattle (Barlund et al, 2008) and beef cattle (Salah and Yimer, 2017). A cow with a mucosal score less than 2 and PMN % less than 8 % was considered normal.…”

“…The presence of uterine fluid was also examined by US as previously reported (Kasimanickam et al, 2004). Subsequently, vaginal mucus assessment and endometrial cytology were performed by Metricheck (Simcro Tech Ltd, Hamilton, New Zealand) (Pleticha et al, 2009;Senosy et al, 2009) and the cytobrush method (Kasimanickam et al, 2005;Sheldon et al, 2006;Barlund et al, 2008;Senosy et al, 2011), respectively.…”

“…To assess endometrial inflammation by PMN % in an objective way, cytological assessment was determined by counting a minimum of 200 cells at 400× magnification (Kasimanickam et al, 2004;Ahmadi et al, 2007;Senosy et al, 2009). Pathological conditions of the uterus were allocated into three groups by scoring vaginal mucus and PMN % (Barlund et al, 2008;Gobikrushanth et al, 2016).

“…Especially endometrial cytology is important for the diagnosis of SE (Polat et al, 2015;Pothmann et al, 2015). Endometrial cytology performed with the cytobrush (Kasimanickam et al, 2005;Barlund et al, 2008;Senosy et al, 2011) and uterine lavage techniques (Kasimanickam et al, 2005;Santos et al, 2009;Galvão et al, 2011;Cocchia et al, 2012) has been used to determine the PMN %. There is no study that evaluated the relationship between endometritis and COD with the vaginal mucus test by Metricheck and cytobrush method in Japanese Black cattle.…”

Research of postpartum endometritis in Japanese Black cattle with cystic ovarian disease by vaginal mucus test and endometrial cytology

The relationship between endometritis and cystic ovarian disease (COD) is still unclear in Japanese Black cattle. Endometritis is classified into clinical endometritis (CE) and subclinical endometritis (SE). The objective of this study was to clarify the interaction between postpartum endometritis (CE and SE) and COD in Japanese Black cattle. Twenty-six suckled cows with COD (COD group) and 16 suckled cows with cyclical ovarian activity (CA group) were submitted for the experiment. Uterine conditions of cows were classified into three groups (normal, CE, and SE) with vaginal mucus test and endometrial cytology. The combined data of CE and SE were represented as data for total endometritis (EMT total). The prevalence of EMT total in the COD group (42.3 %, 11/26) was significantly higher than that of the CA group (12.5 %, 2/16). The mean percentage of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN %) in the COD group was significantly higher than that of the CA group at 40-60 DPP (days postpartum). Compared to 61-295 DPP, the mean PMN % at 40-60 DPP was significantly higher in the COD group. The diameters of uterine horn and cervix did not differ among normal uterine condition, CE and SE in the COD group, and they did not differ between normal uterine condition and SE in the CA group. However, endometrial thickness during both 40-60 and 61-295 DPP were greater in the COD group than in the CA group. In conclusion, Japanese Black cattle with COD have a potential implication on endometritis at 40-60 DPP compared to the normal ovarian cycle. As a specific symptom was not observed by transrectal ultrasonography, endometrial cytology is effective for diagnosis of SE in Japanese Black cattle.
