Abstract
A multitude of in utero infections may cause abortion, stillbirths, or the birth of weak calves (see Table 1). Because the diagnostic success for determining the cause of abortions may be low (25%-40%), it is important that more knowledge about the causes and differential diagnoses is gained, and proper samples are collected and submitted. Use of an abortion diagnosis kit enables multiple samples to be analyzed and increases the likelihood of making a diagnosis. The immune response is suppressed during pregnancy. In part, this can be controlled by proper nutrition and appropriately timed vaccination programs.
