DCRC presents uterine health webinar in Portuguese

The next Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council’s (DCRC) webinar, presented in Portuguese, features “New Alternatives for Prevention and Treatment of Uterine Diseases.” On Aug. 22, at 1 p.m. Central Time, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine Associate Professor of Dairy Production Medicine Rodrigo Bicalho will address the challenges that uterine diseases present and recent research addressing metritis.

During the one-hour webinar, Bicalho will discuss these key topics:

  • Importance of uterine microbiome for the development of metritis
  • Use of a vaccine to reduce the incidence and impact of metritis
  • Use of recombinant IL-8 as a preventative tool for uterine diseases

 

Bicalho studied veterinary medicine at Federal University of Goiás, Goiania, Brazil, and graduated in 2002. Six years later, he earned his doctorate degree from Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, Ithaca, N.Y. His research interests include epidemiology, microbiology, lameness, metritis, mastitis, reproductive efficiency, estrous synchronization and using bacteriophages as diagnostic and therapeutic tools for bacterial infections in farm animals.
