Abstract

Bu çalışmada süt ineklerinin doğumlarından hemen sonra üç gün boyunca içirilen sıvı-elektrolit ve enerji desteğinin bazı metabolik ve fertilite parametreleri üzerine etkisi araştırıldı. Ticari bir süt işletmesinde aynı çiftlik yönetimi ve besleme programı altında barındırılan Holştayn süt inekleri deneme (n=70) ve kontrol (n=75) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Deneme grubundaki ineklere üç gün boyunca ağızdan 5 kg/gün sıvı-elektrolit ve 20 litre ılık suda eritilmiş enerji takviyesi verilirken, kontrol grubundaki ineklere sadece 20 litre ılık su verildi. Çalışmada kullanılan tüm ineklerin kulak küpesi numaraları kayıt altına alındı ve bir sonraki doğuma kadar takip edildi. Bütün hayvanların kuyruk venalarından postpartum 4. günde kan örnekleri alındı. Deneme grubundaki kan βHBA konsantrasyonunun kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük olduğu belirlendi (p<0.01). Ancak kan NEFA ve glikoz konsantrasyonları deneme ve kontrol grupları arasında farklılık göstermedi (p>0.05). Senkronizasyon oranının deneme grubunda kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük olduğu görüldü (p<0.05). Gebelik oranı gruplar arasında farklılık göstermedi (p>0.05). Kontrol grubunda ise gebelik başına tohumlama sayısı deneme grubuna göre daha yüksek görüldü (p<0.001). Benzer şekilde doğum-gebe kalma aralığı ve buzağılama aralığı da kontrol grubunda daha yüksek olduğu izlendi (p<0.05). Deneme grubunda laktasyon süt veriminin kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak Holştayn süt ineklerinde doğumdan hemen sonra oral olarak verilen sıvı-elektrolit ve enerji takviyesinin fertilite parametrelerini iyileştirdiği kanısına varıldı.

Effect of Postpartum Drenching of Fluid-Electrolyte and Energy Supplement on Fertility Parameters in Holstein Dairy Cows

Abstract

In this study, the effect of orally given fluid-electrolyte and energy supplementation immediately after the delivery on some metabolic and fertility parameters was investigated. Holstein dairy cows which were housed in a private dairy company under identical management and feeding programs were divided into two groups as experiment (n=70) and control (n=75). Cows in the experiment group were treated by orally given 5 kg fluid-electrolyte and energy supplementation dissolved in 20 litres lukewarm water for three consecutive days, whereas the control group received only the 20 litres of lukewarm water. The ear tag numbers of all cows used in the study were recorded and monitored until next delivery. Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein of the cows on the postpartum 4th day. It was determined that the concentrations of βHBA in the experiment group were lower than in the control group (p<0.01). However, the concentrations of NEFA and glucose did not differ between the experiment and the control groups (p>0.05). It was seen that the synchronization rate was lower in the experiment group than that detected in the control group (p<0.05). The pregnancy rate did not differ between groups (p>0.05). Nevertheless, the service number per pregnancy displayed a higher incidence in the control group as compared to the experiment group (p<0.001). Similarly, calving to pregnancy interval and the calving interval was higher in the control group (p<0.05). Total lactation milk yield in the experiment group was higher as compared to the control group (p<0.05). In conclusion, it was observed that orally given fluid-electrolyte and energy supplementation immediately after delivery improved the fertility parameters in Holstein dairy cows.
