Thirty-nine multiparous Holstein cows were used to measure the effect of propylene glycol treatment around parturition on milk yield, reproductive efficiency and some hormone metabolite concentrations. Cows assigned randomly control (n = 19) or treated 20) groups. Propylene (300 g) was administered directly mixed with diet from day 10 prior expected calving date until (day 0) orally after dilution in 1 l water days 3, 6, 9 12. Blood samples collected -20, -5, 0, 10, 25 50 while taken weekly...
Abstract In the purpose to provide further information in respect of relationship between metabolism and post partum (PP) ovarian activity resumption dairy cows, aim present study was characterize energy balance (EB) leptin, NEFA IGF-I plasma levels Swedish Red White (SRW) cows with without re-initiation within 7 weeks PP. The conducted on 12 primiparous SRW fed same diet as total mixed ration for ad libitum intake. EB calculated weekly from parturition until seven Blood samples were...
Composition of follicular fluid to which the preovulatory follicle is exposed may be one major factors determining subsequent fertility, as fatty acids are a precursor hormones involved in dominance, ovulation and atresia mechanisms. The objective this paper observe acid profiles various lipid classes according estrogenic activity follicles. For each 18 cows, we analysed plasma phospholipids, non-esterified (NEFA), cholesteryl esters triglycerides fractions. Follicles were classified active...
Assay of steroid hormones in hair has become an attractive alternative for studies focusing on the perinatal period equine medicine. The aim present study was to evaluate mares’ and foals’ ALLO concentrations their ratio relation clinical conditions selected parameters. 37 mare–foal pairs were categorized into healthy (group H; n = 15) sick S; 22) groups. from measured using a commercial ELISA kit. Foal foal/mare lower group S compared H (p < 0.001). Moderate positive correlations found...
Poor health and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases are among the main sources of economic losses in pig industry worldwide, they also serve as indicators compromised animal welfare. However, there is limited information on long-lasting biomarkers poor common infections experienced by piglets early life. Hair cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA(S)), their ratio have been proposed components mammalian stress response due activation hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis...
The aim of this study was to measure hair cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) concentrations in naturally Taenia solium infected non-infected control pigs assess the effect an environmental change on aforementioned parameters. Three patches were obtained from 13 T. 15 controls sows, respectively corresponding 3 time points (prior to, at approximately two weeks after arrival research facility). Cortisol DHEA extracted using methanol analysed by radio immune assay. Mean significantly...
