Metabolites and hormones can predict postpartum uterine disorder during transition period of dairy cows

Abstract
Postpartum uterine diseases in dairy cows have undesirable effects on reproductive efficiency. The current study aimed to evaluate hormones and some metabolites which can predict postpartum uterine disorder in dairy cows (Holstein Friesian) during the transition period. A total of 32 dairy cows divided into two groups; 9 control healthy cows without any postpartum uterine disorder, and 23 cows suffered from postpartum uterine disorder, which further subdivided into12 cows with retained fetal membranes (RFM) and 11 cows with postpartum metritis (PM). Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of each cow weekly from 21 days’ prepartum to 21 days postpartum early in the morning. Glucose (BG), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol, progesterone (P4), cortisol, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total protein (TP) and albumin, were measured. The results showed that TG, TC, P4, cortisol, Ca, P, Mg, TP, and albumin were higher at the prepartum period than the postpartum one in all dairy cows. In contrast, BG, AST, and ALT were significantly higher in all dairy cows during the postpartum period. Cows with RFM had higher serum prepartum levels of TC, P4, and cortisol. However, prepartum levels of TG, TP, AST and ALT were significantly higher in cows with PM. A negative energy balance (NEB) and disturbance in some metabolites and hormones at prepartum could induce the development of PM and RFM as postpartum uterine disorders during the transitional period in the dairy cows.
