Why is that actual?

• a continuous elevation of the average milk

production

• herds estrus detection is the main limitation

for the optimal reproductive performance

• Optimizing reproductive performance by

reproductive management is available

• Pharmaceutical regulation of the estrus cycle

let us synchronizing estrus and ovulation,

regulating follicular waves, reducing

undetected heats, improving AI

• Aims: Decreasing the parturition interval

and the number of AI per pregnancy

• Milk Producers: 25-26 thousands farmers and farm

• Milk production: ~2 billion kg

• Number of milking cows ~ 210000

• Average milk production per cow/year: 7600 kg

• Calving interval /CI/ (2004) 434 days

• Number of AI per pregnancy/NAIP/: 3.48

• Decrease of the NAIP by 0.1 means about 300.000 €

savings per year

• Decrease the CI by 1 day means about 600.000 €

savings per year.

Milk production in Hungary

Biological background – easy procedure?

< 90 %

What’s the

problem?

– NEBAL at parturition and

low body condition

– Increase the number of AI's

per pregnancy

– Inactive ovaries – Increase of calving interval

Causes and consequences

The change of intake and require of ME and the body weight during lactation (Roberts, 1982)

Milk production and fertility of dairy cows

Effect of inadequate nutrition on the ovaries

• Deficit of energy intake:

• CL’s with cavities (physiological??)

• Luteal cyst

• Embryonic loss

• Deficit of protein intake:

• Inactive ovaries

• Non cycling cows

• High protein dietary:

• Increase of serum urea concentration

• Decrease of serum progesteron

concentration

• Follicle cyst

• Embryonic loss

The aims of our management system

• Improving reproductive performance by optimizing nutrition

– Prevention of the negative effect of the inadequate nutrition (NEBAL, protein imbalance, vitamin, micro- elements and mineral insufficiency)

– Improve BCS and decrease negative effects of NEBAL,

in order to allow a normal reaction of cows for the reproductive treatments

• Decrease the calving interval and the number of AI's per pregnancy.

The main elements of this management

– The diets are calculated by the milk yield

– The diets are adequate to the different dairy farms

– Continuous controlling the mixed food

• Optimizing the reproduction

– Early pregnancy check

– Controlling the reproductive cycle

• Synchronization of ovulation and inducing estrus– Re-breeding the open cows as soon as it possible!!

Early pregnancy detection

• The most common methods for the pregnancy detection

– Uterine palpation per rectum (35-60 days post insemination)

– Ultrasound examination (since 25 days post

insemination)

– Milk or serum progesterone (2-3 times 18-25 days

post insemination)

– Different pregnancy-specific proteins (PSPB,

PAG; since 25 days post insemination)

The use of transrectal ultrasonography

to assess pregnancy status during early gestation is among the most practical applications of ultrasound for dairy cattle reproduction.

Ultrasonography of the uterus

Early pregnancy detection by examination of the Pregnancy-specific protein B (PSPB)

• Pregnancy specific protein B

is measured for detection of

pregnancy in ruminants

BioPRYNTM, an ELISA test

developed and is distributed

for the detection of PSPB in

the circulation of pregnant

cows 28-30 days after

Examination of the serum or milk

Ultrasonography of the ovaries

Application of ultrasound for monitoring the estrus cycle

(examination of different ovarian structures; 40 to 60 days post partum) in order to decide the exact treatment for cows that were

open after each AI.

Methods for inducing estrus and

synchronizing ovulation

• Methods with heat detection

– Progestin application (MGA, PRID, CIDR)

– Deslorelin implant (GnRH agonist)

treatments on the PR after the first AI

The optimized nutrition and reproductive

management system in practice

• Optimizing the diet for the given herd

• Timed AI (Provsynch) of all cows 70-75 days postpartum

• Early (30-36 days post insemination) pregnancy detection

by BioPryn test

• Blood sera of the open cows are assayed for serum P4 level and all cows in cycle are treated immediately by a single PGF2a injection

• Non-cycling cows are put on the Ovsynch regimen and timed AI is carried out 10 days followed the first GnRH treatment.

Table 3: The cost-benefit analysis of improved

fertility results in 2002-2004 (data originated from Table 2)

• On the basis of our experiences and practice, these regimens would help to reduce anoestrus, parturition interval, synchronize return services and enhance embryo survival.

• The improvement of the reproductive performance will result higher profitability, so the complex nutrition and reproductive management system is a rational method to the better economic efficiency and competitive superiority

Conclusions

Thank you for your

attention!

Regulation of reproduction

Interactive procedure that coordinates and regulates all

reproductive functionsMain elements of the regulation are:

1 Nervous system

• Fundamental responsibility is translating or transducing

external stimuli into neural signals

2 Endocrine system

• Pathways are: neural reflex and neuroendocrine reflex.

Simple neural and neuroendocrine reflex

(Senger, 2003)

– Release of other hormones (releasing hormones)

– Stimulate gonads (gonadotropins)

– Sexual promotion (steroids)

The most important hormones influencing ovarian activity

LH Glycoprotein Pituitary Stimulates ovulation

and P4 secretion Formation of CL

FSH Glycoprotein Pituitary Follicular development,

E2 synthesis Development of follicles

Progesterone Steroid CL, placenta Maintenance of pregnancy Inhibits GnRH

release

Estradiol Steroid Follicle, placenta Sexual behavior

-hCG Glycoprotein Chorion ovarian P4 synthesis -

eCG Glycoprotein Chorion Formation of accessory CL’s -

PGF 2 Prostaglandin Endometrium Destruction of CL Luteolysis

Inhibin Glycoprotein Granulosal cells Inhibits FSH secretion Inhibits follicle

development

The estrus cycle of the cow (Senger, 2003)

PSPB is a novel protein that was first reported by scientists at the University of Idaho PSPB is located in the giant binucleate cells of the trophoblastic ectoderm of the placenta and this indicated that it was either synthesized or sequestered by those cells

Cotyledon

Caruncle

Migration of these cells result the appearance of PSPB in the maternal

Days post breeding

•PSPB is detectable in serum from 24 to 282

(parturition) days of gestation and can be

applied reliably in dairy cow herds at 28 to

30 days after breading
