Abstract
From an economic point of view, a successful reproductive program on a dairy farm increases the number of pregnant animals in a timely manner at the end of the voluntary waiting period. Peripartal diseases and those that occur during lactation disturb this process by affecting health, delaying resumption of cyclicity, and lowering conception risk and embryo survival. This chapter discusses common diseases that affect the reproductive process of lactating dairy cows. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
