Healthier cows with fewer cases of mastitis, metritis, and respiratory disease
Lower vet and treatment costs
Improved fertility and longevity, keeping cows in your herd longer
More profit, with gains that build every generation
By monitoring immunity in your herd, you’re not just treating disease — you’re preventing it.
ENDOMETRITIS/METRITIS
Immunity+® & Endometritis/Metritis
Endometritis — a postpartum uterine infection — is a common and economically costly disease in dairy cows, especially when it becomes clinical (visible discharge) or subclinical (detected only via exam or tests).
Estimated Cost of Endometritis per Case:
$110 to $350+ per affected cow
Costs come mostly from reproductive losses (not treatment)
Incidence rate typically 15–30% of cows after calving
How Immunity+ Helps Fight Endometritis- Stronger Immune Defense Post-Calving
- The postpartum period suppresses the cow’s immune system.
- Immunity+ cows are better able to mount an effective immune response during this time.
- This helps clear bacterial infections in the uterus more efficiently, reducing the risk of metritis and endometritis.
- Better Control of Inflammation
- Effective Immunity+ is not just about fighting pathogens — it’s about resolving inflammation properly.
- Immunity+ cows are more likely to have balanced immune responses, avoiding:
- Excessive inflammation (which delays uterine healing)
- Inadequate response (which allows infection to persist)
- Reduced Incidence of Associated Diseases
- Diseases like retained placenta, mastitis, and ketosis are risk factors for metritis.
- Immunity+ cows have lower rates of these diseases, thereby indirectly reducing the risks of metritis and endometritis.
- Heritable Benefit for Future Generations
- The high-immune-response trait is passed on to daughters.
- This builds long-term herd resistance to uterine infections and other costly diseases.
Summary: Semex’s Immunity+ helps fight metritis and endometritis by building a genetically stronger, more resilient immune system in dairy cows — leading to healthier uterine recovery, fewer infections, and improved reproductive performance.
