Meloxicam has been identified as an adjuvant therapeutic component in the management of bovine uterine diseases, exhibiting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, the mechanisms underlying its antioxidant actions in the context of bovine uterine diseases remain incompletely understood. The objective of this research was to determine whether meloxicam exerts its antioxidant effects through the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Oxidative stress is an important component of the disease process and causes morphological and functional alterations in the bovine endometrium. Selenium (Se) has an antioxidant property, and an appropriate Se supplementation is recommended to enhance bovine disease resistance.

This study investigated the impact of EHEC infection and dyspeptic diarrhea on calf health, focusing on blood parameters, fecal microbiota, and metabolite profiles. Thirty-two holstein calves were divided into three groups: healthy group (C Group), EHEC-infected group (E Group), and indigestion-induced diarrhea group (I Group).

During the postpartum period, domestic ruminants suffer elevated endogenous cortisol levels, which are associated with an increased risk of uterine infections. Selenium is a trace mineral nutrient with beneficial impacts on animals. The study aimed to investigate whether selenium yeast (SeY) could attenuate ()-induced endometrial injury in goats with high cortisol background.

Additionally, postpartum stress in cows can elevate cortisol levels in the body, inhibiting endometrial regeneration and reducing immune function, thereby further increasing the risk of infection. Selenium (Se) is a common feed additive in dairy farming, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Anti-inflammatory drugs are necessary to alleviate pain and inflammation during clinical mastitis. Among many drugs, meloxicam (MEL) has been widely used in clinical mastitis because of its excellent inhibitory effect on the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme.

Endometritis represents a prevalent condition in perinatal dairy cows. Bovine endometrial epithelial cells (BEECs), as the primary interface between cavity and the external environment, are particularly vulnerable to infection by pathogenic bacteria following parturition. A20 is essential for regulating inflammation and modulating immune responses.

Methods: The CCECs treated with dimethyl fumarate (DMF), recombinant high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1), or N-acetylcysteine (NAC). The gasdermin (GSDM) family and HMGB1 mRNA expression levels were detected using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
Stress and infection seriously threaten the reproductive performance and health of dairy cows. Various perinatal stresses increase plasma cortisol concentrations in cows, and chronically high cortisol levels may increase the incidence and severity of the uterine diseases. Selenium (Se) enhances antioxidant capacity of cows.
