The objectives of this study were to establish if exposure pregnant dairy cows high environmental temperatures and humidity during the first trimester pregnancy impairs establishment ovarian reserve (total number healthy follicles oocytes in ovaries) fertility their offspring. Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations ≥3 mm (antral follicle count; AFC) assessed on a random day estrous cycle 310 sixteen-month-old heifers. Based season conception early fetal life, heifers separated...
Abstract A three‐year‐old first lactation Flekvieh heifer was presented with sudden milk drop, anorexia and absence of faeces in the rectum after being perceived as fit healthy day before. Following medical treatment close monitoring, an exploratory laparotomy performed a segmental volvulus part small intestine identified. Successful involved relieving intestinal distension untwisting intestine. This case interesting cow showed minimal outward signs discomfort cardiovascular compromise volvulus.
The causes of the inherently high variation in number follicles and oocytes ovaries mammals are unknown. Evidence suggests that ovarian reserve (total healthy ovaries) can be programmed by events occurring during fetal life. For instance, maternal nutritional restriction first trimester pregnancy negatively affects size calves. aim present study was to establish whether exposure pregnant dairy cows environmental temperatures from conception end impairs establishment their offspring. This...
