[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1608137, member: 27490"] The causes of abortion in cattle are numerous. Some are due to flaws in the embryonic development of the fetus. Others are caused by pathogens. Abortions in twins is sometimes a result of the complications that twins bring to the table. The observation I have regarding your two examples is that they are late in gestation. You might want to run a blood panel to check for antibodies to Neospora or Leptospira, etc. I would run the blood work on the one that was AI bred in January. The blood tests check for antibodies. If you vaccinate, you will need to run a second blood panel about 3 weeks after the first test to distinguish between antibodies caused by clinical disease and by vaccination. [/QUOTE]
