abstract

the purposes of this study were to evaluate of ovarian and insulin dynamics in dairy cows fed omega-3 fatty acid source. ten holstein multiparous cows were selected and after adaptation period given diets containing palm oil (control) and fish oil (treatment) from day -40 to 60 after calving. the study carried to show the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on insulin resistance. glucose tolerance tests were performed on days 14 and 42 after calving. the cows were synchronized using two injections of prostaglandin on days 20 and 34 after calving and consequently, ovarian dynamics were assessed. blood samples were obtained on days -35, - 21, 0, 21, 42 and 62 days after calving. experimental diets have not significant effect on the concentration of cholesterol, triglycerides, hdl cholesterol; however, omega-3 treatment significantly decreased ldl cholesterol levels. the results of the glucose tolerance test showed that omega-3 treatment improved insulin sensitivity. the number of small follicles (less than 6 mm) and medium (between 7 and 9 mm) and large (greater than 10 mm), there were no significant differences between experimental groups. according to results we suggested that feeding omega-3 could improve insulin resistance in holstein dairy cows.

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...

Effect 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...

Dietary Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

As for saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, the omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are chemically linked to fat structures known as triglycerides in the various foods and oils that are consumed. The natural triglyceride or fat structure consists of a 3-carbon glycerol backbone onto which 3 long-chain fatty acids of varying types and structures are linked or 'esterified...
