Healthy cows (H): Clinically healthy subjects with PMN < 5%, one week after the clinical evaluation. Subclinical Endometritis (SCE): Clinically healthy subjects and PMN ≥ 5%, one week after the clinical evaluation. Grade 1 Endometritis (EM1): Animals clinically diagnosed as EM1 and PMN ≥ 5%, one week after the clinical evaluation. Grade 2 Endometritis (EM2): Animals clinically diagnosed as EM2 and PMN ≥ 5%, one week after the clinical evaluation.
