influence of parity on reproductive performance in postpartum dairy cows
نویسندگان
چکیده
the purpose of this research was the study of reproductive performance in postpartum dairy cows with different parities. twenty holstein dairy cows were assigned into two equal primiparous and multiparous groups. body weight and body condition score (based on 1-5 scoring) were measured every other week, starting from two weeks before calving till pregnancy confirmation. daily milk yield was also recorded. reproductive parameters including days from calving to the uterus returning time, to the initiation time of clinical oestrus signs, to the first time of insemination and number of insemination per pregnancy were recorded. meanwhile, blood serum concentrations of estrogen and progesterone were measured. results indicated that, the mean (±se) of body weight and milk production was significantly higher for multiparous cows. blood serum concentration of estrogen (mean ±se) was significantly lower for primiparous cows (61.86±17.91 vs. 71.39±17.02 pg/ml). the number of insemination per pregnancy and estrus frequency did not differ between both groups. however, the intervals (mean ±se) of calving to the uterus returning time (40.0±5.41 vs. 24.0±5.41 days), to the first insemination (119.62±14.17 vs. 67.5±14.17 days) and the initiation of clinical oestrus signs (28.5±4.5 vs. 19.67±8.5 days) was significantly higher for primiparous than multiparous cows. in general, this study demonstrated that the effect of parity on postpartum reproductive performance is modulated through its effect of blood serum estrogen level, uterus returning time and estrus initiation time.

متن کاملEffects on reproductive performance of administration of GnRH to early postpartum dairy cows.
Three-hundred and thirty-five lactating dairy cows from two herds were used to compare the effects on reproductive performance of intramuscular injections of 100 micrograms gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), 250 micrograms GnRH or saline given on day 13, 14 or 15 postpartum. The incidence of ovarian cysts or uterine infections was not reduced after GnRH injection. Culling rate for infertili...

The present study was conducted to investigate the influence of administration ofGnRH orPGF2α during early postpartum (PP) on uterine involution (UI), postpartum period (PPP), days open (DP) number of services per conception and calving interval (CI) in cross-bred dairy cows. A total of 45 cross-bred dairy cows (4 – 8 years) were recruited to determine the influence of administration of GnRH or...

This trial evaluates reproductive performance in a early-routine estrus synchronization program using two different PGF2? . Cows were administered D(+)cloprostenol sodium (n=88; Group A) or dinoprost (n=78; Group B) between 35-42d postpartum. Pedometers were used to detect estrus. Evaluation of secondary signs of estrus and evaluation of vaginal mucus quality was made prior to AI. When estrus w...
متن کاملReproductive management of postpartum cows.
High reproductive efficiency in the dairy cow requires a disease-free transition period, high submission rates to AI and high pregnancy rates per service. A key risk factor that causes increased incidence of metabolic disease is low negative energy balance (NEB) in the periparturient and early postpartum periods. Low NEB decreases LH pulse frequency, growth rate and diameter of dominant follicl...
