  1. The HMO, HCB and HUN groups were primiparous heifers monitored by GSM, unassisted in the calving barn and unassisted in the dry zone, respectively. The MMO, MCB and MUN groups were multiparous cows monitored by GSM, unassisted in the calving barn and unassisted in the dry zone, respectively.
  2. FMR foetal membrane retention.
  3. * = significantly different from the corresponding monitored group (P < 0.05);
  4. † = significantly different from the corresponding monitored group (P < 0.01);
  5. ¥ = significantly different from the corresponding monitored group (P < 0.001).
