Almost 40 years ago, in 1981, the University of Nottingham Faculty of Agricultural Science hosted their 34th Easter School, which in that year was on the topic of control of pig reproduction. The proceedings of that meeting were published as Control of Pig Reproduction by Butterworths, London in 1982. The success of the conference, coupled with the favourable reviews of the published proceedings, highlighted the value of an international conference which brought together exper...

Summary. Microbes commonly infect the female genital tract of cattle, causing uterine disease, abortion, and infertility. In particular, postpartum uterine disease develops in about 40% of dairy cows following infections with Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria, such as Trueperella pyogenes. These infections damage tissues and cause inflammation in the endometrium, and perturb follicle growth and function in the ovar...

The structural and functional alterations of uterine epithelial cells that permit the apical-apical union of conceptus and uterine epithelium are complex and are likely to involve many different adhesion molecules with distinct but inter-related functions. A number of changes in the molecular composition at the apical surface of uterine epithelial cells associated with the transition from the pre-receptive to the receptive state in the pig uterus are reviewed. Molecules t...
