Relationships Between Body Condition Score and Oestrus Signs and Effect of Some Reproductive Parameters on Fertility in Holstein Dairy Cows

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship among body condition score and oestrus signs at the time of artificial insemination (AI) and the effect of some reproductive parameters on fertility. Atotal of 110 Holstein cows in low (51), good (52) and high (7) body condition score (BCS) were used. The cows in oestrus were inseminated artificially. Degrees of mucus discharge, vulva edema, vagina congestion, and duldung reflex were graded from 1 to 3 in the oestrous cows. The diameters of preovulatory follicles and serum progesterone levels were determined. The pregnancy diagnosis in cows was performed using ultrasound at 30-40 days after artificial insemination. The results show that degree of vulva edema, vagina congestion, mucus discharge and duldung reflex were not significantly different between BCS groups. The rates of pregnancy were (%) 30.4, 44.15 and 42.8 in low, fine and high BCS groups (p>0.05). In conclusion; low and high body condition during AI was not associated significantly with oestrus signs.
