چکیده
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of genotype and week postpartum on serum concentrations of IGF-I, body condition score (BCS), BW, and ovarian function in beef cows. Cows from the following genotypes were utilized in two consecutive years: Angus (A x A; n = 9), Brahman (B x B; n = 10), Charolais (C x C; n = 12), Angus x Brahman (A x B; n = 22), Brahman x Charolais (B x C; n = 19) and Angus x Charolais (A x C; n = 24). Serum concentrations of IGF-I, BCS, and BW were determined between wk 2 and 9 postpartum. Rectal ultrasound was used to determine days postpartum to first medium (6 to 9 mm) and first large (> or = 10 mm) follicle. Averaged across genotype, BCS decreased (P < 0.05) from 5.0 +/- 0.1 on wk 3 to 4.8 +/- 0.1 on wk 6 postpartum, and BW decreased (P < 0.05) between wk 2 and 3 and again between wk 4 and 9 postpartum. Averaged over year and week postpartum, serum IGF-I concentrations were greatest (P < 0.05) in B x B cows (46 +/- 5 ng/mL) compared with all other genotypes; lowest in A x A (12 +/- 4 ng/mL), C x C (13 +/- 4 ng/mL), and A x C cows (18 +/- 3 ng/mL); and intermediate (P < 0.05) in A x B (28 +/- 3 ng/mL) and B x C (26 +/- 3 ng/mL) cows compared with all other genotypes. Serum IGF-I concentrations did not change (P > 0.10) with week postpartum in C x C, A x A, and A x C cows, but increased (P < 0.05) between wk 2 and 7 postpartum in B x C, A x B, and B x B cows. Average interval to first medium (16 +/- 2 d) and first large (35 +/- 2 d) follicle did not differ (P > 0.10) among genotypes. Serum IGF-I concentrations correlated with BCS (r = 0.53 to 0.72, P < 0.001) but not with days to first large follicle (r = -0.19 to -0.22, P > 0.10). Averaged across genotypes, cows that lost BCS postpartum had lower (P < 0.01) serum IGF-I concentrations. Cows that calved with adequate BCS (i.e., > or = 5) had greater (P < 0.01) serum IGF-I concentrations postpartum than cows that calved with inadequate BCS (i.e., < 5) but days to first large and medium follicle did not differ (P > 0.10). In conclusion, concentrations of IGF-I in serum differed among genotypes and were associated with BCS but not days to first large or medium follicle in postpartum beef cows.

Background: One of the most important metabolic factors affecting the reproductive activity is insulin-like growth factor-I (IGFI) concentration changes after calving. Recently, Maj et al. (2008) discovered a significant association between the IGF-I genotypes based on the 5'-untranslatedregion (5'-UTR) of IGF-I gene and the IGF-I blood level. The objective of this study is to investi...

The objective of this study was to determine whether serum concentrations of growth hormone (GH), IGF-I, IGF binding proteins (IGFBP), and glucose at wk 2 and 10 postpartum were associated with the ability of postpartum beef cows to resume cycling when maintained on a limited nutrient environment.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of insulin resistance (IR) during the close-up dry period on the metabolic status and performance of dairy cows as well as to determine the effects on body weight (BW) and metabolic status of their calves. An insulin tolerance test (ITT) was conducted by administering 0.05 IU/kg BW of insulin to 34 multiparous Holstein cows at 3 weeks prepartum. Blood...
