Relationship Between Dietary Fatty Acids and Reproductive Functions in Dairy Cattle

Dietary Fatty Acids and Dairy Cow Fertility

Effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on ovarian function and prostaglandin secretion in lactating dairy cows

As lactating cows in severe negative energy balance have poor reproductive performance, the effect of dietary fat supplementation (fish oil, soybean oil) on PGFM secretion, ovarian function and blood metabolites is investigated. In this experiment, the effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma metabolites, ovarian function and prostaglandin secretion of 20 primiparous Holstein co...

Effects of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Reproductive Processes in Dairy Cattle

Growing evidence indicates that the design and delivery of supplemental unsaturated fatty acids to the lower gut for absorption (specifically linoleic acid, linolenic acid, EPA and DHA) may target reproductive tissues to alter reproductive function and fertility. Improvement in reproductive performance involves stimulation in ovarian activity (follicle development) in the postpartum period, and...

Fatty Liver Syndrome In Dairy Cattle: Relationship Between Nefa And Tg Serum Values In This Syndrome

Fatty liver syndrome (Hepatic lipidosis) or fat cow syndrome is a major metabolic disorder in many dairy cattle's in early period of lactation. The aim of this study was to evaluating fatty liver syndrome in dairy cattle in Tabriz by measurement of NEFA and TG serum values. The results showed that NEFA has a direct relationship with TG. Thus, with elevating of NEFA serum values, TG also increased.
