Comparing First Service Conception Rate Before and After Milking in Holstein Cows
Authors
Abstract:
The objective of this study was to comparing first service conception rate before and after milking and changes in metabolite and hormones during four times realted to milking in lactating dairy cow. High producing Holstein cows (> 30 Kg/d and BCS) were randomlly selected and assigned into two groups: 1- insemination before morning milking (0700 a.m, n = 150) and 2- insemination after morning milking (0900 a.m, n=150). Milking performed at 0800 a.m. All cows synchronized with G7G-Ovsynch protocol started at d 30 postpartum. Blood samples collected from subsample of cows (n = 45 per group) and at four times (before milking, with milking, 1 h after milking and 2 h after milking) for measauring glucose, triglyceride, free fatty acids, albumin andcortisol concentrations. Results showed Glucose, trigyceride, free fatty acids, abumin and cortiso concentrastions affected by miking time (P<0.05) and significanty increased with milking compared to before milking (P<0.05) but significanty decreased 1 h after milking compared to milking and before milking. Conception rate at d 32 and 60 after AI were greater in cows inseminated after milking in comparsin with before milking. In conclusion results of present study showed insemination of cows after milking compared to before miking resulted in increase fertility.

The objective of this project was to determine the genetic control of conception rate, or pregnancy percentage in Angus beef heifers. Producers from 6 herds in 5 states provided 3,144 heifer records that included breeding dates, breeding contemporary groups, service sires, and pregnancy check information. Two hundred fourteen sires of the heifers were represented; with 104 sires having less tha...

There are several different milking management systems in Latin America, because Gir cattle are reputed to be easily stressed and not well adapted to machine-milking. This paper, therefore, provides an overview of hormone release and behavior during suckling and milking in Gir cows and their cross-bred offspring. Several experiments were performed to study oxytocin release during exclusive suck...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of milking frequency (two times daily vs. three times daily) on the 305-d lactation milk, fat and protein yield and fat and protein percentage of Holstein dairy cows in Morocco. Data analyzed were 31400 records collected between 2009 and 2016 on 14272 cows raised in 194 herds. The frequency of milking had significant effects (P<...

Differences in conception rate to first service between artificial inseminations (AI) carried out by commercial AI operators (CAI) or do-it-yourself operators (DIY), between natural service (NAT) and AI, between different AI sires, and between fresh and frozen-thawed semen, on Irish commercial dairy farms, were studied using logistic regression. The study comprised 12,933 potential first insemi...
