Reproductive Challenges of High Producing Dairy Cows
Within a dairy herd, total milk production is determined by the proportion of cows producing milk at any given time and the level of milk production of the individual cows within the herd. Improving reproductive efficiency helps to maintain the maximal number of cows producing milk at optimal levels. Reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle currently is suboptimal primarily due to four factors: ...
متن کاملEffect 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 کاملFertility of lactating dairy cows administered recombinant bovine somatotropin during heat stress.
Administration of recombinant bovine somatotropin (bST) to lactating dairy cows during heat stress increases milk yield, but it also can increase body temperature and may therefore compromise fertility. However, it is possible that bST treatment could increase fertility during heat stress because it has been reported to increase fertility in lactating cows. In addition, bST increases secretion ...
متن کاملAn approach to identify dairy cows being responsive to recombinant bovine somatotropin.
Forty-eight primiparous and pregnant Holstein cows at 202 (+/-59) days in milk and average daily milk production (DMP) of 22 (+/-5.3) kg at the beginning of the trial were used to study the possibility of identifying animals that are more responsive to recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST). Animals were housed in free-stall barns, milked three times a day and fed a total mixed ration. Animals ...
متن کاملFurosemide Induced Electrocardiographic Alterations in High Producing Holstein Dairy Cows
Diuretics have several therapeutic advantages in dairy cows but there are different side effects such as acid-base and electrolyte imbalances which may affect the electrocardiographic parameters. Fifteen multiparous, clinically healthy, non-pregnant and high producing 4-year-old Holstein dairy cows at their early lactation period were randomly divided into 3 equal experimental groups. Furosemid...
