Body fat mobilization in early lactation influences methane production of dairy cows
Long-chain fatty acids mobilized during early lactation of dairy cows are increasingly used as energy substrate at the expense of acetate. As the synthesis of acetate in the rumen is closely linked to methane (CH4) production, we hypothesized that decreased acetate utilization would result in lower ruminal acetate levels and thus CH4 production. Twenty heifers were sampled for blood, rumen flui...
متن کاملOvarian function and estrus in dairy cows during early lactation.
The onset of ovarian function and occurrence of estms were monitored in two groups of Holstein cows over the first 90 days postpartum. Group 1 consisted of 36 animals housed in a free stall area and observed continuously for estrus with closed circuit television and a time lapse videorecorder. Group 2 consisted of 33 cows housed in tie stalls with estrus detected by the herdsmen. Blood samples ...
متن کاملFeeding supplemental fat and undegraded intake protein to early lactation dairy cows.
Forty-eight Holstein cows (16 primiparous) were fed alfalfa silage-based TMR containing 18% CP with 33 or 36% of the CP as undegraded intake protein and with 0 or 2.8% supplemental fat (DM basis). Expeller soybean meal replaced solvent soybean meal to vary undegraded intake protein, and sodium alginate-treated tallow was used as the fat source. A standard diet containing solvent soybean meal wi...
متن کاملLiver fat content and lipid metabolism in dairy cows during early lactation and during a mid-lactation feed restriction.
During the transition period, the lipid metabolism of dairy cows is markedly affected by energy status. Fatty liver is one of the main health disorders after parturition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a negative energy balance (NEB) at 2 stages in lactation [NEB at the onset of lactation postpartum (p.p.) and a deliberately induced NEB by feed restriction near 100 d in mi...
متن کاملComparison of Different Lactation Curve Models to Describe Lactation Curve in Moroccan Holstein-Friesian Dairy Cows
In this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in Moroccan Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. Edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and
