A comparative study on the nutritional status of primiparous and multiparous women in the first trimester of pregnancy was conducted in the northeastern province of Thailand, Khon Kaen, to investigate differences in protein-energy-malnutrition, iron deficiency anaemia, vitamin A deficiency and carotenoid status between both parity groups. 94 subjects were recruited at first attendance of antena...

METHODOLOGY descriptive-exploratory/qualitative was conducted genealogical outside-patient department Mardan Medical Complex, with approval ethics committee. A total 1187 patients attended complex between January 2021 2022. Inf...

The objectives of this study were to determine incidence of stillbirths and heifer-calf morbidity and mortality, and their association with dystocia on 3 Colorado dairies. A total of 7,380 calvings produced 7,788 calves on 3 Colorado dairy operations between October 1, 2001, and November 5, 2002. Dystocia score and calf status (alive vs. dead) were recorded at calving. Calves that were born ali...

In this study, 400,729 Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) records collected on 77,178 cows in 692 Midwest herds over 29 mo (January 1999 to May 2001) were used to analyze milk urea nitrogen (MUN) as collected the day of the test in 6 breeds. Records of Holsteins, Jerseys, and Brown Swiss were subjected to stepwise backward elimination analysis with a model including parity (primiparous vs. multiparou...

This thesis consists of studies concerning the effects of dry period energy feeding, and early lactation energy and protein feeding on the metabolic and hormonal status, tissue mobilisation and lactation performance in dairy cows. In all studies, restricted amounts of grass silage were fed during the dry period, and lead feeding with concentrate was applied during the last three weeks of pregna...

The purpose of this study was to develop a deterministic economic model to estimate the costs associated with (1) the component cost per case of hyperketonemia (HYK) and (2) the total cost per case of HYK when accounting for costs related to HYK-attributed diseases. Data from current literature was used to model the incidence and risks of HYK (defined as a blood β-hydroxybutyrate concentration≥...

This study was designed to contribute the understanding of relationships between energy balance (EB) in early lactation [4 21 d milk (DIM)] and fertility traits [interval start luteal activity (SLA), interval first observed heat (FOH), conception artificial insemination (AI)], their associated with cow performance blood metabolites 4 150 DIM. Individual data (488 primiparous 1,020 multiparous l...
