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
![Page 3: IMPROVING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE BY OPTIMIZING OF NUTRITION AND INTRODUCED A REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DAIRY HERDS 1 Gábor, G., 2 Koppány.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eb25503460f94bb9363/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• 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.

• Causes– High milk production
– Suboptimal management systems
– Inadequate nutrient intake
• Consequences– NEBAL at parturition and
low body condition
– Increase the number of AI's per pregnancy
– Inactive ovaries
– Increase of calving interval

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
![Page 9: IMPROVING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE BY OPTIMIZING OF NUTRITION AND INTRODUCED A REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DAIRY HERDS 1 Gábor, G., 2 Koppány.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eb25503460f94bb9363/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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.
![Page 10: IMPROVING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE BY OPTIMIZING OF NUTRITION AND INTRODUCED A REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DAIRY HERDS 1 Gábor, G., 2 Koppány.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eb25503460f94bb9363/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The main elements of this management system
• Optimizing nutrition– Examination of the basic nutrition components (detailed chemical
analysis of the feeds)– On the basis of analyses the optimized diet is calculated; energy,
protein, mineral and vitamin requirements, protein and energy balance)
– 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!!
![Page 11: IMPROVING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE BY OPTIMIZING OF NUTRITION AND INTRODUCED A REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DAIRY HERDS 1 Gábor, G., 2 Koppány.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eb25503460f94bb9363/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
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)
![Page 12: IMPROVING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE BY OPTIMIZING OF NUTRITION AND INTRODUCED A REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DAIRY HERDS 1 Gábor, G., 2 Koppány.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eb25503460f94bb9363/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
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
![Page 13: IMPROVING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE BY OPTIMIZING OF NUTRITION AND INTRODUCED A REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DAIRY HERDS 1 Gábor, G., 2 Koppány.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eb25503460f94bb9363/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
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 for PSPB, has been developed and is distributed for the detection of PSPB in the circulation of pregnant cows 28-30 days after insemination.
• Detection of PSPB in blood provides an indication of
embryonic loss as well.

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.
![Page 16: IMPROVING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE BY OPTIMIZING OF NUTRITION AND INTRODUCED A REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DAIRY HERDS 1 Gábor, G., 2 Koppány.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eb25503460f94bb9363/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Methods for inducing estrus and synchronizing ovulation
• Methods with heat detection– Progestin application (MGA, PRID, CIDR)– Deslorelin implant (GnRH agonist)
– Prostaglandin (single or repeated PGf2im treatment)
• Timed insemination– Heatsynch (GnRH - PGf2 – ECP)
– Ovsynch (GnRH - PGf2 – GnRH)
– Provsynch (PGf2 – PGf2 – GnRH - PGf2 – GnRH) starts 35 days after parturition
![Page 17: IMPROVING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE BY OPTIMIZING OF NUTRITION AND INTRODUCED A REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DAIRY HERDS 1 Gábor, G., 2 Koppány.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eb25503460f94bb9363/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

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.

• 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.

Regulation of reproduction
Interactive procedure that coordinates and regulates all reproductive functions
Main 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.

Reproductive hormones• Originate
– Hypothalamus– Pituitary– Gonads– Uterus– Placenta
• Cause– Release of other hormones (releasing hormones)– Stimulate gonads (gonadotropins)– Sexual promotion (steroids)– Pregnancy maintenance– Luteolysis
• Biochemical classification – Peptides– Glycoproteins– Steroids– Prostaglandins

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.
