The next crop of calves is what keeps the cattle industry in business. Knowing this, a study by Texas A&M University aims to reduce reproduction failure, which can cause a significant loss to the U.S. beef industry.
Poole’s project, “Hormonal and Immunological Influences on the Uterine Microbiome in Cattle,” is aimed at developing a better understanding of the relationship between reproductive hormones and immune changes as well as the microbiome of the reproductive tract in beef cattle.
