Rumen‐protected glucose hastens uterine involution and increases numbers of ovarian follicles in early post‐partum dairy cows

The primary objectives were to investigate the effects of feeding a new rumen‐protected glucose (RPG) on uterine involution and ovarian follicular dynamics in recently calved dairy cattle. From 4 to 30 days after calving, 16 Holsteins (first to third lactation, mean parity 1.75) were randomly assign...

Zusammenfassung:The primary objectives were to investigate the effects of feeding a new rumen‐protected glucose (RPG) on uterine involution and ovarian follicular dynamics in recently calved dairy cattle. From 4 to 30 days after calving, 16 Holsteins (first to third lactation, mean parity 1.75) were randomly assigned to be fed either a basal diet top‐dressed with either 600 g RPG (RPG group) or 600 g of the coating material and glucose (CONT group). Based on transrectal ultrasonography, conducted every 3 days starting 20 days after calving, the interval from calving to complete uterine involution was shorter in RPG versus CONT (27.1 vs. 30.4 days, p
