Abstract

The present investigation aims to determine the effect of body condition score (BCS) at calving on ovarian activity and subsequent reproductive characteristics during postpartum period in crossbred cows. Thirty-six crossbred cows (Baladi cows x Friesian cows) week post-calving were used and divided into three groups of 12 cows for each group (BCS: less than 3 equal to 3 and more than 3) according to BCS. The results demonstrated that, uterine involution period, first ovulation and estrous was significantly longer, than (P <0.05) (38.4±3.4, 51.2±3.8 and 65.6±2.5, days) in cows with BCS ˂3, compared to cows with BCS equal 3 (30.2±2.2, 38.4±3.4 and 45.9±7.1, days), or more than 3 score (28.4±3.9, 30.5±2.6 and 43.2±5.3, days), respectively. The first service and conception was significantly longer (P <0.05) than (95.3±9.3 and 123.5 ±12.4, days) in cows with BCS ˂3 compared to cows with BCS equal 3 (71.2 ±6.6 and 102.3±13.1, days) to or more than 3 score (68.1±8.5 and 96.3±11.6, days), respectively. Lower NS/C in BCS ˃3 was (1.7±0.6, service) and equal 3 was (1.9±0.5, service) in comparison with those cows had BCS ˂3 was (2.7±0.4, service). The CR was significantly higher (P <0.05) than 50 and 60% in cows with a BCS equal 3 to or higher than 3 score compared to in cows with BCS less (30%) than 3, respectively. In conclusion, the current results indicated a significant effect of BCS at calving on recovery of ovarian activity and subsequent reproductive characteristics, during postpartum period in crossbred cows.
