Methods used to induce parturition in cattle: 3)in dairy cattle parturition may be induced to prevent excessive udder edema from damaging the udder supports; 4)in beef cattle induction of parturition can be used to truncate the calving season, thereby allowing more time postpartum to resume cyclicity before the...

Research Project: IDENTIFICATION OF FACTORS CAUSING IMMUNE SUPPRESSION AT PARTURITION The objective of this study was to determine the effects of oral drenching glycerol for cows at parturition on energy status and milk production on a commercial dairy. One hundred and one animals (71 cows, 30 heifers) were assigned to...

To overcome dystocia, commonly associated with fetal oversize in prolonged pregnancies, parturition was induced with one of three agents: betamethasone,

We conclude that a direct stimulation of peripheral β-endorphin release by the pain or stress associated with calving does not seem to exist in cattle, whereas met-enkephalin seems to be more directly related to parturition.

A double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled field study of the influence of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on cattle at parturition was carried out. The extent of cervical opening and the intensity of labour were scored before administration of the compound and 10 minutes later;
