Abstract

This research’s objectives were to assess the risk factors associated with ovarian disorders in dairy cattle in Hanoi Capital, Ha Nam Province, Vinh Phuc Province, and Moc Chau District in Son La Province. The ovarian diseases were evaluated by rectal palpation combined with information collected based on the questionnaire and surveys. Records of feeding management and ovarian disorders were comprising of persistent corpus luteum (PCL), cystic ovarian disease (COD), inactive ovary (IO) from 818 females, including heifers and cows from the first to the eighth parities. A multinomial logistic regression procedure in SAS9.0 was applied for data analysis. The results have shown that the changes of region, age classes, housing condition, and body condition scores were associated with the odds of suffering from dairy cattle’s ovarian disorder categories. The cows got the odds of suffering from PCL in the old age or fatter condition, and IO at the younger or angular cows. When cattle were confined in simple houses or laid on rubber bedding, they suffered from IO, but they tended to get the odds of suffering from PCL when the cattle were raised in modern houses or laid on concrete bedding. In conclusion, region, parity, body condition score, housing type, and bedding material affect ovarian disorders in dairy cattle in northern Vietnam.

Abstract

The study was carried out to assess factors related to the odds of pregnancy for dairy cattle after treating ovarian disorders in some Northern Vietnamese provinces. A total of 449 ovarian-disordered heifers and cows were given appropriate treatments for their diseases and were diagnosed by rectal palpation with pregnant status after artificial insemination. Data collected from ruminants were analyzed by applying Binary Logistics Procedure in SAS 9.0 and three methods were utilized to test the significant level of regressive coefficients related to the factors, which included various nutritional, environmental, and management factors (locations, parities, ages, body condition scores, housing types, mineral licking block diets, rubber bedding, and categories of disordered ovaries). Based on the odds ratio, cows and heifers in Ha-Noi zone had higher odds of pregnancy than in Vinh-Phuc province (odds ratio [OR] =1.97, p<0.05). Multiparous cows were likely to get a lower chance to conceive than heifers. The odds of pregnancy for dairy cattle decreased with the increase of age, and with each month increased of age, the odds of pregnancy decreased by 1.8%. The better housing condition the dairy cattle live in, the higher pregnancy rate they get. The pregnant opportunity of the dairy cattle kept in the concrete floor house is higher than that kept in rubber floor house (OR=4.03; p<0.0001). Adding mineral licking block in their diet affected the conception odds but did not affect BCS. When the appropriate treatment was used, dairy cattle with inactive ovaries were less likely to conceive than those with cystic ovarian disease and persistent corpus luteum.

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the relationship between plasma progesterone (P4) concentration on day 6 following artificial insemination (AI) and the pregnancy rate to provide recommendations for measuring P4 concentration before embryo transfer in cows. A total of 85 cows were double AI (day 0) after being detected in natural heat by visual observation. On day 6 after AI, the blood sample was collected from the coccygeal vein to measure plasma P4 concentration by ELISA method. Pregnancy was diagnosed on the 60th day after AI by rectal palpation. The results showed that the plasma P4 concentration at day 6 after AI of the pregnant cow group (4.262±2.195 ng/mL) was significantly higher than that of the non-pregnant cow group (3.146±2.377 ng/mL) (p<0.05). The pregnancy rate was lowest in the group of cows with plasma P4 concentration <2ng/mL, then gradually increased with P4 concentration. The pregnancy rate of cows tended to be stable when P4 concentration ≥4.0 ng/mL. The pregnancy rate of cows was highest when the P4 concentration was from 3-4 ng/mL and 5-6 ng/mL. Additionally, the pregnancy rate of cows is positively correlated with the plasma P4 concentration according to the formula P= 26.356 + 6.612* P4. In conclusion, the plasma concentration of P4 at day 6 after AI has a positive relationship with the pregnancy rate of cows.
