Effect of Bovine Somatotropin on the Lactational and Reproductive Performance of Lactating Dairy Cows - a Review
Bovine somatotropin (bST) increases milk production in dairy animals. The maximum increase in milk production has been observed up to 41%. Somatotropin did not change milk composition significantly. During short-term application of bST, cows mobilized their body-reserves to support the increased milk production. Although DM intake of cows was increased in the long-term applications, however, gr...
متن کاملModeling extended lactations of dairy cows.
Nine mathematical models were compared for their ability to predict daily milk yields (n = 294,986) in standard 305-d and extended lactations of dairy cows of Costa Rica. Lactations were classified by parity (first and later), lactation length (9 to 10, 11 to 12, 13 to 14, 15 to 16, and 16 to 17 mo), and calving to conception interval (1 to 2, 3 to 4, 5 to 6, 7 to 8, and 9 to 10 mo). Of the nin...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for yield traits of cows treated or not treated with bovine somatotropin.
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic correlations between yield traits of cows treated with bovine somatotropin (bST) and the same yield traits of untreated cows. Lactation records from registered Holstein cows were divided by parity into 3 data sets: 1, 2, and 3 through 5. Approximately 10% of the records in each data set were from cows treated with bST. The numbers of records o...
متن کاملReproductive performance of dairy cows fed two concentrations of phosphorus.
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary P concentrations of 0.37 (recommended) or 0.57% (excess; dry matter basis) on reproductive performance. At calving, Holstein cows were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 dietary treatments (n = 134 for 0.37% P and n = 133 for 0.57% P). Cows were fitted with a radiotelemetric transmitter (50 d in milk [DIM]) to record mounting activity ...
متن کاملEpidemiology of reproductive performance in dairy cows.
The objectives of this presentation are to review results of our previous and on-going research with respect to the risk factors and consequences of poor reproductive performance in dairy cows, and to develop an economic framework to optimize decisions related to dairy cow reproductive performance. To make profitable breeding and replacement decisions, the farmer must account for factors includ...
