From the detected phosphatidylcholines mainly those with diacyl-residues showed differences among lipolysis groups. Overall, excessive lipolysis in the high group came along with impaired estimated insulin sensitivity and characteristic shifts in acylcarnitine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine and lysophospholipid metabolome profiles compared to the low group. Thirty (12 primiparous and 18 multiparous) cows of Holstein Friesian and Simmental breeds, fed the same diet and kept under the same management conditions, were sampled at d 21 postpartum and classified as low (n = 10), medium (n = 8), and high (n = 12) lipolysis groups, based on serum concentration of nonesterified fatty acids. The present study used targeted ESI-LC-MS/MS-based metabolomics and indirect insulin sensitivity measurements to evaluate metabolic alterations in the serum of dairy cows of various parities experiencing variable lipolysis early postpartum. However, excessive lipolysis poses serious health risks for cows, and its underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood.

Understanding homeorhetic mechanisms that involve glucose and collectively affect postpartum uterine health, oestrous cyclicity and the establishment of pregnancy should lead to methods to improve postpartum fertility in dairy cows.ДЄlterations of the Lipid Metabolome in Dairy Cows Experiencing Excessive Lipolysis Early Postpartum. Slower growth of the embryo or foetus perhaps explained by the unique metabolic profile during lactation may predispose cows to pregnancy loss. Oestrous cyclicity (interval to first ovulation and subsequent periodicity) is affected by the same hormones and metabolites that control postpartum immune function. Depressed immune function caused in part by the postpartum metabolic profile leads to a failure in uterine involution and uterine disease. The first 30 days postpartum may be most critical in terms of the impact that metabolites and metabolic hormones have on reproduction. Irreversible loss of glucose during lactation can invoke an endocrine and metabolic state that impinges upon postpartum uterine health, oestrous cyclicity and subsequent establishment of pregnancy. Homeorhesis leads to an increase in the synthesis of glucose that is irreversibly lost to milk lactose. The competing processes of milk production and restoration of reproductive function can be at odds, particularly if unique homeorhetic mechanisms that typify early lactation become imbalanced and cows experience metabolic disease. Peak milk production is in early lactation when the uterus and ovary are recovering from the previous pregnancy. Milk and milk solids production per cow is increasing annually in dairy systems.

It can be speculated that the incidence of double ovulations during the early postpartum period partly contributes to the increased incidence of undesirable twin births in multiparous dairy cows. Two multiparous cows that experienced double ovulation during the early postpartum period subsequently conceived twin fetuses. 3.8% per ovulation, respectively PГ‚В cows, the double ovulators exhibited higher peak milk yield (PГ‚В cows. When double ovulations were counted dividing into each side ovary in which ovulations occurred, the total frequency of ovulations deviated from a 1:1 ratio (60.3% in the right side and 39.7% in the left side, PГ‚В cows, double ovulation occurred more frequently than in primiparous cows (58.8% vs. The incidence of double ovulation in the unilateral ovaries was 66.7%, with a higher incidence in the right ovary than in the left, whereas that in bilateral ovaries was 33.3%. The ovaries of 43 Holstein cows (26 primiparous and 17 multiparous) were ultrasonographically scanned throughout the three postpartum ovulation sequences. The objective of the present study was to investigate the incidence of double ovulations during the early postpartum period in relation to the productive and reproductive performance of dairy cows. It has been suggested that the milk production level of cows influences the number of ovulatory follicles. In almost all cases, natural twinning in dairy cattle is the result of double ovulation. In lactating cattle, the incidence of twin calving has many negative impacts on production and reproduction in dairy farming.
