Fertility of lactating dairy cows administered recombinant bovine somatotropin during heat stress.
Administration of recombinant bovine somatotropin (bST) to lactating dairy cows during heat stress increases milk yield, but it also can increase body temperature and may therefore compromise fertility. However, it is possible that bST treatment could increase fertility during heat stress because it has been reported to increase fertility in lactating cows. In addition, bST increases secretion ...
متن کاملAn approach to identify dairy cows being responsive to recombinant bovine somatotropin.
Forty-eight primiparous and pregnant Holstein cows at 202 (+/-59) days in milk and average daily milk production (DMP) of 22 (+/-5.3) kg at the beginning of the trial were used to study the possibility of identifying animals that are more responsive to recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST). Animals were housed in free-stall barns, milked three times a day and fed a total mixed ration. Animals ...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for yield traits of cows treated or not treated with bovine somatotropin.
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic correlations between yield traits of cows treated with bovine somatotropin (bST) and the same yield traits of untreated cows. Lactation records from registered Holstein cows were divided by parity into 3 data sets: 1, 2, and 3 through 5. Approximately 10% of the records in each data set were from cows treated with bST. The numbers of records o...
متن کاملPregnancy and bovine somatotropin in nonlactating dairy cows: I. Ovarian, conceptus, and insulin-like growth factor system responses.
Nonlactating dairy cows were used to examine effects of bovine somatotropin (bST) on components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system. Estrus was synchronized in cows with a Presynch + Ovsynch protocol and timed AI (TAI; n = 55) or not TAI (cycling, C; n = 23) on d 0 (time of synchronized ovulation). On d 0 and 11, cows received bST (500 mg) or no bST, and were sacrificed on d 17. Preg...
متن کاملEffect of recombinant bovine somatotropin on milk production and composition of cows with Streptococcus uberis mastitis.
The protective effect of bovine somatotropin (bST) during experimental Streptococcus uberis mastitis in cows was studied. The left quarters of 10 cows were infected with 500 cfu of S. uberis O140J. Five cows were subcutaneously treated with 500 mg of recombinant bST 7 d before and after infection, and 5 control cows received the excipient. In the treated cows, total milk production significantl...
