Wikipedia
diestrum
The estrous cycle (from Latin oestrus 'frenzy', originally from Ancient Greek οἶστρος (oîstros) 'gadfly') is the set of recurring physiological changes that are induced by reproductive hormones in most mammalian therian females. Estrous cycles start after sexual maturity in females and are interrupted by anestrous phases, otherwise known as "rest" phases, or by pregnancies. Typically, estrous cycles repeat until death. These cycles are widely variable in duration and frequency depending on the species. Some animals may display bloody vaginal discharge, often mistaken for menstruation. Many mammals used in commercial agriculture, such as cattle and sheep, may have their estrous cycles artificially controlled with hormonal medications for optimum productivity. The male equivalent, seen primarily in ruminants, is called rut.

diestrum
Diestrum is a period of sexual inactivity between two periods of estrus, or heat, in female mammals with an estrous cycle. During diestrus, the body reverts back to its normal state if fertilization has not occurred. Diestrus can also be referred to as the luteal phase, characterized by the presence of a functioning corpus luteum in the ovaries.
