Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the reproductive performance of average (less than 10,000 liters milk in 305 days) and high yielding (more than 10,000 liters milk in 305 days) Holstein cattle at commercial dairy herds (n=22). Data on milk progesterone (10 to 60 days postpartum), days to post-partum estrous, days to post-partum conception, service per conception and calving interval were recorded for two consecutive years. Post-partum milk progesterone concentration and days to reach peak milk progesterone concentration were similar in high and average yielding cows. High yielding cows took more days to show signs of first postpartum estrous than average yielding cows. Post-partum conception was 20 days earlier in average yielding cows than high yielding cows. Artificial insemination per conception was similar between average and high yielding cows. Calving interval was 26.9 days longer in high yielding cows compared to average yielding cows. In conclusion, better reproductive and feeding management may help improve the reproductive performance of high yielding dairy cattle in commercial dairy farms.

본 연구는 젖소의 산유 능력에 따른 번식 성적을 조사하기 위하여 축산과학원 시험우사에서 사육중인 젖소를 이용하여 분만 후 유즙중 P4농도를 분석하였고, 전문경영체농장 22개 소에서 사육중인 젖소에 대한 번식 기록을 이용하여 고능력우(305일 유량 10,000 kg 이상)와 평균 능력우(305일 유량 10,000 kg이하)의 번식 성적을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 젖소의 분만 후 progesterone peak는 고능력 및 평균 능력우의 경우에 각각 $38.8{\pm}11.1$$39.6{\pm}9.7$일로 거의 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. 2. 분만 후 첫 발정까지의 일수는 평균 능력우 및 고능력우가 각각 $99.4{\pm}2.1$일 및 $117.7{\pm}4.2$일로 고능력우가 평균 능력우에 비하여 11.6일 늦어지는 결과를 나타내었고(p<0.01), 분만 후 수태까지의 일수도 평균 능력우 및 고능력우가 각각 $145.9{\pm}3.8$일 및 $165.9{\pm}6.5$일로 고능력우가 평균 능력우에 비하여 20일 늦어지는 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.01). 그리고 분만 간격은 평균 능력우 및 고능력 우가 각각 $421.5{\pm}4.0$일 및 $448.4{\pm}7.2$일로 고능력우가 평균 능력우에 비하여 26.9일 연장되었다(p<0.01).
