Our objective was to compare the effect of treatment with GnRH at first (G1) Breeding-Ovsynch portion a Double-Ovsynch (DO) protocol human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on pregnancies per artificial insemination (P/AI) in lactating dairy cows. In experiment 1, cows (n = 1,932) submitted DO for timed (TAI) 2 commercial farms were blocked by parity (primiparous vs. multiparous) and randomly assign...

Normal sexual functioning comprises of sexual activity together with transition through the phases from arousal to relaxation with no problem. Delivery has different effects on body organs, especially, on genitalia the disorder of which can cause sexual dysfunctions. In this study, an attempt is made to compare postpartum sexual dysfunction among primiparous and multiparous women. This descript...

To compare 2 strategies for systematically resynchronizing ovulation, lactating Holstein cows (n = 763) at various days in milk and prior artificial insemination services were assigned randomly at timed AI (TAI) to receive the first GnRH injection of Ovsynch 26 (D26) or 33 (D33) d after TAI to resynchronize ovulation (Resynch) in cows failing to conceive. Cows in the D26 treatment received GnRH...

Hydrogenated fat-embedded calcium gluconate (HFCG), a prebiotic mixture designed to target the hindgut, has improved milk and component yields when supplemented in mid-lactation cows, likely due hindgut health. The objective of this study was evaluate production responses HFCG fed dairy cattle over full lactation. Seventy-four Holstein cows (21 primiparous, 53 multiparous) were used randomized ...

It may, depending on the stage of labor and whether the woman has given birth previously. routine amniotomy doesn’t significantly reduce the duration of first-stage labor in either primiparous or multiparous women (strength of recommendation [sOr]: A, systematic review of several randomized, controlled trials [rCTs]); it slightly shortens secondstage labor in primiparous women only (sOr: A, sys...

In this prospective observational study rectal and vaginal temperature of 82 (26 primiparous, 56 multiparous) early post-partum healthy dairy cows that calved without intervention within 3 months and did not show clinical signs of infectious and metabolic diseases were continuously measured and evaluated for associations with plausible factors during the first 10 days in milk (DIM). During May,...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of our study were to 1) assess Canadian women's health information levels regarding pre- and postnatal topics in both primiparous and multiparous samples, and 2) identify factors associated with levels of health information in both groups and the pathways of such associations. METHODS Data from the 2006 Maternity Experiences Survey developed by the Canadian Perinatal...

The effects of dietary consumption of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and dextrose during a 28-d lactation on sow and litter performance and sow plasma constituents were examined in 45 multiparous and 36 primiparous crossbred sows. Isocaloric and isonitrogenous corn-soybean meal diets were formulated to contain either 20% fructose or 20% glucose. Diets were fed on a metabolic BW basis from d 0 ...

Background: Bovine neosporosis causes reproductive disorders and abortion among bovines resulting in production economic loss meat dairy industries. The current study was done to know about the status of Haryana State. Methods: A total 165 serum samples from Haryana, having history or were screened for brucellosis as well by ELISA. Result: All found serologically negative brucellosis, but serop...
