Popis: In this paper, the effect of clinical symptoms of uterine inflammation on progesterone profile characteristics was quantified in dairy cows. A continuous scale based on visual observation of vaginal discharge (the previously developed D-index) was used to describe the clinical symptoms. Progesterone profiles in milk were used to describe the ovarian cycles, and to determine the distinguishing features of these profiles, a multivariate statistical procedure (principal component analysis) was performed. Significant negative effects of the D-index were seen during the first and second postpartum ovarian cycles. The D-index had a significant effect on the shape of progesterone profiles and the length of the ovarian cycles but it only accounted for a small proportion of the variation in these ovarian cycle features. The D-index was not a significant risk factor for the length of postpartum anovulatory period in the present study.
