          Abstract

          El propósito de este trabajo fue determinar la influencia del mérito genético para la producción de leche sobre el balance energético, los indicadores del metabolismo energético y la reactivación ovárica posparto. Para este estudio, se utilizaron 10 vacas Holstein puras de diferente mérito genético para la producción de leche, que se alimentan bajo un sistema de pastoreo rotacional con suplementación de concentrado. A estos animales se les realizó un seguimiento durante los 10.4 (± 2.5), 21.6 (± 4.3), 31.8 (± 4.5), 42.3 (± 4.2), y 51.9 (± 3.9) días posparto, los cuales constituyeron los periodos de muestreo. En cada muestreo, los animales fueron pesados con cinta métrica, se les evaluó la con se estimó su balance de energía. Además, se tomaron muestras de suero sanguíneo para evaluar las concentraciones de glucosa y colesterol; y se efectuó un seguimiento de la reactivación ovárica por ultrasonografía. La mayoría de las vacas reiniciaron su actividad ovárica en la segunda semana posparto y más de la mitad presentaron su primera ovulación durante el periodo experimental. Se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa (p<0.05) y con pendiente negativa entre el mérito genético para la producción de leche y la magnitud del nadir del BEN, sin embargo el mérito genético no tuvo influencia significativa sobre los días al nadir del BEN, dado que las vacas de mérito genético alto, como bajo incrementaron el consumo y la producción de leche siguiendo patrones similares, pero con magnitudes diferentes. De igual forma el merito genético no se relacionó significativamente con los días a la primera ovulación. Además, ninguna de las variables del balance de energía, ni los metabolitos sanguíneos afectaron los días a la primera ovulación o el número de folículos clasificados por tamaño. Pese a esto, el grupo de vacas que ovuló durante el periodo experimental, presentó concentraciones plasmáticas de colesterol significativamente más altas (p=0.07) y concentraciones plasmáticas de glucosa significativamente (p<0.05) más bajas que el grupo de vacas que no ovuló durante dicho periodo. Los resultados de esta investigación sugieren que el mejoramiento genético para la producción de leche puede afectar el balance de energía de las vacas en el posparto temprano; pese a esto el merito genético para la producción de leche no afectó, como tal, la reactivación ovárica posparto.

          The aim of this research was to establish the genetic merit for milk yield influence on energy balance, energy metabolic profiles and the postpartum ovarian resumption. In this research, 10 pure-Holstein Friesian dairy cows, varying in genetic merit values for milk yield and fed on a rotational-grazing system with a supplementary concentrate ration were used. A serial of examinations were performed on10.4 (± 2.5), 21.6 (± 4.3), 31.8 (± 4.5), 42.3 (± 4.2), and 51.9 (± 3.9) postpartum days. In every sampling day animals were weighed by tape measure, their body condition score were calculated and the energy balance was estimated for every cow. In addition, blood serum tests were performed to analyze glucose and cholesterol blood concentration and an ultrasonographic assessment was executed to determine ovarian resumption. Nearly all cows had an ovarian resumption on the second week postpartum and more than a half had shown their first postpartum ovulation on the trial period. The genetic merit values for milk yield were not related with production values, therefore, the dependent variables of milk yield did not fluctuated with genetic merit. There was a significant negative relationship (p<0.05) between genetic merit for milk production and the nadir extent of net energy balance (NEB). Although, the genetic merit did not have significant influence on the number of days between calving to the nadir-attaining day, because high genetic merit cows as low genetic merit cows increased the intake and milk yield following similar patterns, but with different extents. In the same way, the genetic merit did not have significant relationship with the interval of calving to first ovulation. Furthermore, no one of the energy balance variables or blood metabolites influenced the interval of calving to first ovulation or the amount of follicles classified by size. In spite of these facts, the ovulating-cow group in the trial period had plasmatic cholesterol concentration significantly higher (p=0.07) and plasmatic glucose concentration significantly lower (p<0.05) than non-ovulating-cow group in the same period. These results suggest that, genetic improvement for milk production could influence the cow energy balance on early postpartum; in spite of these results, the genetic merit for milk production did not affect, by itself, the postpartum ovarian resumption.

          Reproductive loss in high-producing dairy cattle: where will it end?

          M Lucy (2001)
          The dairy industry in the United States has changed dramatically in the last decade. Milk production per cow has increased steadily because of a combination of improved management, better nutrition, and intense genetic selection. Dairy farms are larger, and nearly 30% of the dairy cows in the United States are on farms with 500 or more cows. The shift toward more productive cows and larger herds is associated with a decrease in reproductive efficiency. Cows with the greatest milk production have the highest incidence of infertility, but epidemiological studies suggest that, in addition to milk production, other factors are probably decreasing reproductive efficiency in our dairy herds. The reproductive physiology of dairy cows has changed over the past 50 yr, and physiological adaptations to high milk production may explain part of the reproductive decline. Critical areas for new research include control of the estrous cycle, metabolic effects of lactation on reproduction, mechanisms linking disease to reproduction, and early embryonic mortality. Solving reproductive loss in dairy cows will not be easy because only a small number of research groups study reproduction in postpartum dairy cows. Therefore, the present research base will need to be expanded. For this to occur, research funding must be increased above its current level and a renewed emphasis must be placed on solving the emerging crisis of infertility in dairy cows.

            Partitioning of nutrients during pregnancy and lactation: a review of mechanisms involving homeostasis and homeorhesis.

            Control of metabolism during pregnancy and lactation involves two types of regulation-homeostasis and homeorhesis. Homeostasis control involves maintenance of physiological equilibrium or constancy of environmental conditions within the animal. Homeorhesis is the orchestrated or coordinated control in metabolism of body tissues necessary to support a physiological state. Regulation of nutrient partitioning during pregnancy involves homeorhetic controls arising from the conceptus. This assures growth of the conceptus (fetus and fetal membranes) and gravid uterus as well as development of the mammary gland. With the onset of lactation many--perhaps even most--maternal tissues undergo further adaptations to support rates of lipogenesis and lipolysis in adipose tissue are examples of important homeorhetic controls of nutrient partitioning that are necessary to supply mammary needs for milk synthesis. The interactions between homeorhesis and homeostasis during pregnancy and lactation and possible endocrine control are discussed. While not definitively established, roles for placental lactogen and prolactin are attractive possibilities in homeorhetic regulation of maternal tissues to support pregnancy and the initiation of lactaion, respectively.

              Integration of metabolism and intake regulation: a review focusing on periparturient animals.

              There has been great interest in dry matter intake regulation in lactating dairy cattle to enhance performance and improve animal health and welfare. Predicting voluntary dry matter intake (VDMI) is complex and influenced by numerous factors relating to the diet, management, housing, environment and the animal. The objective of this review is to identify and discuss important metabolic factors involved in the regulation of VDMI and their integration with metabolism. We have described the adaptations of intake and metabolism and discussed mechanisms of intake regulation. Furthermore we have reviewed selected metabolic signals involved in intake regulation. A substantial dip in VDMI is initiated in late pregnancy and continues into early lactation. This dip has traditionally been interpreted as caused by physical constraints, but this role is most likely overemphasized. The dip in intake coincides with changes in reproductive status, fat mass, and metabolic changes in support of lactation, and we have described metabolic signals that may play an equally important role in intake regulation. These signals include nutrients, metabolites, reproductive hormones, stress hormones, leptin, insulin, gut peptides, cytokines, and neuropeptides such as neuropeptide Y, galanin, and corticotrophin-releasing factor. The involvement of these signals in the periparturient dip in intake is discussed, and evidence supporting the integration of the regulation of intake and metabolism is presented. Still, much research is needed to clarify the complex regulation of VDMI in lactating dairy cows, particularly in the periparturient animal.
