NASCIMENTO-ROCHA, JOSEFA M. OLIVEIRA FILHO, BENEDITO D. DE ARNHOLD, EMANNUEL PÔRTO, REGIANI N.G. LIMA, SVETLANA F. GAMBARINI, MARIA LUCIA Assessment of cow and farm level risk factors associated with Ureaplasma diversum in pasture-based dairy systems - A field study <div><p>ABSTRACT Potential risk factors for Ureaplasma diversum in the vaginal mucus of 1,238 dairy cows were included in a multivariate logistic regression model, based on the cow level (i.e., granular vulvovaginitis [+GVV], yearly milk production [4500 kg or more], pregnancy, predominance of Bos taurus [+Bos Taurus], score of corporal condition [at least 2.5], concomitant positivity for Escherichia coli [+E.coli]), and farm level i.e., milking room hygiene (-Milking room), dunghill location, and replacement female). Ureaplasma diversum was present in 41.1% of the samples. Independent risk factors for U. diversum were +GVV (odds ratio [OR], 1.31); +Mycoplasma spp (OR, 5.67); yearly milk production (4500 kg or more) (OR, 1.99); +Bos taurus (OR, 1.68); +E. coli (OR, 4.96); -milking room (OR, 2.31); and replacement females (OR, 1.89). Ureaplasma diversum vaginal colonization was strongly associated with Mycoplasma spp., E. coli, and number of pregnant cows.</p></div> dairy cow;exposure factors;genital ureaplasmosis;mollicutes 2019-12-04
