Accuracy of a cow-side test for the diagnosis of hyperketonemia and hypoglycemia in lactating dairy cows.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the cow-side device is accurate for rapid measurement of blood BHBA and diagnosis of ketosis on farms but is not accurate for measurement of Blood β-hydroxybutyrate and glucose concentrations and diagnoses of hypoglycemia.

Relationship between circulating progesterone at timed-AI and fertility in dairy cows subjected to GnRH-based protocols.
TL;DR: As elevated plasma P4 concentrations at TAI were more frequent in cows with lower P4 at PGF or those subjected to presynchronization, both groups are most likely to benefit from an additional PGF treatment prior to TAI.

Effect of initial GnRH and time of insemination on reproductive performance in cyclic and acyclic beef heifers subjected to a 5-d Co-synch plus progesterone protocol.
TL;DR: The initial GnRH administration in a 5-d Co-synch plus CIDR protocol that includes a single PGF treatment is necessary in acyclic Beef Heifers to optimize P/AI, but not in cyclic heifers.

Relationships between early postpartum nutritional and metabolic profiles and subsequent reproductive performance of lactating dairy cows.
TL;DR: This paper examined the relationship between early postpartum nutritional and metabolic profiles in lactating dairy cows and subsequent pregnancy to first artificial insemination (AI), pregnancy by 150 DIM and pregnancy loss after first AI were 37.9, 65.8 and 11.2%, respectively.

Alterations in bone morphogenetic protein 15, growth differentiation factor 9, and gene expression in granulosa cells in preovulatory follicles of dairy cows given porcine LH.
TL;DR: It is inferred that the improved pregnancy rate after pLH-induced ovulation reported previously, occurred through greater activation of intrafollicular transforming growth factor-β1 superfamily members, as these proteins promote cumulus expansion and oocyte competence.
