Industry Presentation Dietary Essential Fatty Acids and Reproduction in Dairy Cows

چکیده
Feeding of fat to dairy cows enables a more energy-dense feedstuff to be provided in the ration. Several excellent reviews have been written, which substantiate the merits of feeding fat. In recent years, omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-3 (linolenic acid) fatty acids have received attention because they are classified as essential fatty acids (EFA) for dairy cows. Being categorized as an EFA means that feeding of these fats does not result in them remaining patent for absorption across the intestinal wall. Actually, the rumen microbes biohydrogenate both of these EFA, eliminating their double bonds, converting them to stearic acid.

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...
متن کاملEffect of Dietary and Animal Factors on Milk Fatty Acids Composition of Grazing Dairy Cows: A Review
In pasture-based milk production systems, using available farm resources in order to reduce feeding costs, the composition and functional properties of dairy cows’ milk are of considerable importance to the dairy farmer, manufacturer and consumer. Basically, there are three options for altering the composition and/or functional properties of milk: 1) cow nutrition and grazing management, 2) cow...

Nutrition has a significant effect on reproduction and lactation in Ruminant. Supply of require nutrient of dairy cows and ewes in early lactation is the main challenges that will be considered, since in most cases the animals facing negative energy balance after calving and the beginning of the period of lactation. Negative energy balance may sometimes result in reduced livestock production an...
