Group D

A total of 140 pairs (one male, one female) of known-age virgin Microtus montanus was used in two experiments lasting 18 weeks each. Pairs were divided into two groups, one placed under 18 hr, the other under 6 hr of artificial illumination daily. Under each of the two photoperiods, half of the pairs received a dietary supplement of sprouted wheat every 3 days (G), the other half every 15 days (D). The G groups produced significantly more litters and offspring than did the D groups. Irrespective of diet, mean litter size was significantly larger under 18-hr than under 6-hr illumination. Any superiority in reproductive performance due to diet could be attributed solely to frequent (G) supplementation with sprouted wheat. "Plant estrogens" are tentatively postulated as the active principle. Diet and photoperiod interact in their influence on reproductive physiology (G-18 was the most productive group, D-6 the least productive).

AbstractThe effects of a dietary supplement with calcium salts of fatty acids and methionine hydroxy analogue on reproductive performance, blood metabolites, milk production, milk composition, body weight and body condition score was studied in lactating dairy cows. Autumn-calving, Holstein-Friesian cows (no. = 162) were assigned 1 week post calving to one of two diets: (1) unsupplemented maize-silage-based complete diet while housed before turn-out to perennial ryegrass pasture and (2) the same diet with 400 g per cow per day of a supplement with calcium salts of long-chain fatty acids and methionine hydroxy analogue (Megalac Plus, Volac Ltd). Eleven cows were removed from the study following randomization for reasons not related to the experiment leaving 151 cows on dietary treatments. The diets were offered until the end of the 18-week breeding period. Cows receiving supplement had higher milk yield and milk lactose production and lower milk protein and milk fat proportion (P < 0·05). Body weight and body condition scores were not different between treatments in the first 20 weeks of lactation (P > 0·05). Overall reproductive performance was not different between dietary treatments (P > 0·05). However, first lactation animals (no. = 33) receiving the dietary lipid and methionine supplement tended to have increased conception rates to first and second service (P < 0·09) which resulted in a shorter calving-to-conception interval in those animals (P < 0·06). Services per conception (P < 0·08), services per cow served (P < 0·05) and services per conception for pregnant cows (P < 0·05) in first lactation animals was reduced in the supplemented group. Although plasma cholesterol concentrations were increased following lipid and methionine supplementation (P < 0·01), plasma progesterone concentrations on day 5 and day 8 after artificial insemination were not different between dietary treatments (P > 0·05). In conclusion, a dietary supplement of calcium salts of fatty acids and methionine hydroxy analogue increased milk yield, milk lactose production and blood cholesterol concentration but did not improve reproductive performance, except in first lactation cows.
