Effect of pegbovigrastim on clinical mastitis and uterine disease during a full lactation in grazing dairy cows.

In this randomized controlled trial on four commercial grazing dairy farms, we investigated whether pegbovigrastim (PEG) treatment affects clinical mastitis (CM) and uterine disease (i.e. retained placenta (RP), metritis and endometritis) occurrence during a full lactation. The association of prepar...
