“…Because dams were enrolled weekly (±3 d), only 9.8% of dams out of 1,024 animals used in the study had 1 to 2 d of missing data due to calving earlier than expected. The distribution of heifers and cows by parity, season, and health status is available in the companion paper (Piñeiro et al, 2019).…”

“…Multiparous KET+, KET, and SICK cows had greater LT during the first week after calving and greater BCS loss compared with multiparous ND cows (Piñeiro et al, 2019). Moreover, the most frequently diagnosed disease in KET+ and SICK cows was metritis (71 and 76% of cows diagnosed with metritis, respectively).…”

“…At enrollment, a list of prepartum heifers and cows 2 wk before the expected calving date (262 ± 3 d of gestation; Vieira-Neto et al, 2017) was obtained using days pregnant from on-farm computer records (days carry calf; Dairy Comp 305, Valley Agricultural Software, Tulare, CA). A schematic representation showing the timeline for data collection relative to calving is provided in the companion paper (Piñeiro et al, 2019).…”

“…Dairy cattle were fed a TMR to meet or exceed dietary nutritional requirements (NRC, 2001). The ingredient and nutrient composition of formulated pre-and postpartum diets (DM basis) were reported by farm (provided in the companion paper; Piñeiro et al, 2019). On farms 1 (1,300 dairy cows) and 2 (1,500 dairy cows), cows were milked 3 times daily in double-20 parallel and double-24 herringbone parlors, respectively.…”

“…Blood samples were collected via coccygeal venipuncture using 8-mL evacuated tubes by 2 members of the research team (J. M. Piñeiro and B. T. Menichetti) and farm personnel. To control the confounding effect of health status when assessing the association of LT with culling, cyclicity, milk yield, and reproduction, lactating dairy cows were classified into 1 of 4 groups with regards to their health status, as described in the companion paper (Piñeiro et al, 2019): (1) nondiseased (cows without ketosis or any other diagnosed health conditions; ND, n = 613); (2) cows diagnosed with only ketosis (KET, n = 152); (3) cows experiencing ≥1 health conditions, but without ketosis (SICK, n = 198); or (4) cows with KET plus at least 1 health condition (KET+, n = 61). Prepartum or postpartum LS were not included in the criteria to classify the health status of postpartum cows.…”

The objectives were to evaluate the associations of lying time (LT) during the first 14 d in milk (DIM) with milk yield, cyclicity (CYC), culling within 60 DIM (CULL), and reproductive performance of lactating dairy cows. A total of 1,052 Holstein cattle (401 nulliparous heifers and 651 parous cows) from 3 commercial dairy farms had electronic data loggers (IceQube, IceRobotics, Edinburgh, UK) placed on a hind leg 14 ± 3 d before the expected parturition date and removed at 14 ± 3 DIM to assess their LT. Serum concentrations of β-hydroxybutyrate were determined at 7 ± 3 and 14 ± 3 DIM. Cases of retained placenta, metritis, mastitis, pneumonia, and digestive disorders within 30 DIM were recorded and lactating cows were categorized into 1 of 4 groups: (1) nondiseased (ND, n = 613; cows without ketosis or any other diagnosed health condition); (2) cows with only ketosis (KET, n = 152); (3) sick cows experiencing ≥1 health conditions but without ketosis (SICK, n = 198); or (4) cows with ketosis plus ≥1 health condition (KET+, n = 61). Ultrasound was performed at 28 ± 3 and 42 ± 3 DIM to assess ovarian cyclicity (presence or absence of corpus luteum). Milk yield at first Dairy Herd Improvement Association test was not associated with LT during the first 14 DIM, but it was negatively correlated with the coefficient of variation of LT during the first 14 DIM. Lactating dairy cows experiencing KET+ had the lowest milk yield compared with ND, regardless of parity. Parity, health status, and season were significantly associated with CYC and CULL. Lying time had a significantly linear association with the risk of being culled: for every 1-h increment of LT during 0 to 14 DIM, the risk of culling within 60 DIM increased by 1 percentage point. Lying time had a negative quadratic association with cyclicity at 42 DIM. Multiparous cows with a LT of 9 to 13 h/d had a significantly greater probability of pregnancy up to 300 DIM compared with cows with a LT >13 h/d. Regardless of parity, KET+ cows had significantly higher proportion of culling within 60 DIM and decreased probability of pregnancy up to 300 DIM compared with ND cows. These findings suggest that there is an optimum daily LT range for early postpartum cows housed in freestall barns, different from that reported for mid-lactation cows, with the potential for improved survival, health, and the overall performance (milk yield and reproduction).Data pertaining to diseases (retained placenta, mastitis, pneumonia, and digestive disorders) within the first 30 DIM, culling within 60 DIM (CULL; cows sold, 3364 PIÑEIRO ET AL.the potential for improved survival, health, resumption of cyclicity, and subsequent overall performance.

Administration of ketoprofen affects post‐partum lying behaviours of Holstein dairy cows regardless of whether parturition is assisted

et al. 2021

Background: Assistance at parturition in cattle is common. Although analgesia is commonly provided, its value in terms of welfare improvement is not known. Few previous studies include both parturition assistance and analgesic treatment status as well as appropriate control groups in a factorial design. Methods: Seventy‐two Holstein cattle (37 assisted and 35 unassisted) were randomly allocated to receive a single dose of the NSAID ketoprofen or a saline placebo within 3 h of parturition. Detailed behavioural observations allowed a time budget to be constructed for each cow for 48 h post‐partum. Results: Cows experiencing assisted parturition spent more time in lateral recumbency (overall and with the head rested) (p < 0.05) – an infrequently adopted posture suggestive of illness or pain. Cows treated with ketoprofen spent less time in lateral recumbency (p < 0.05) (overall and with the head rested); this was independent of assistance status, and lateral recumbency was not affected by the interaction between assistance and treatment status. Additionally, cows treated with ketoprofen spent more time with the head rested when in sternal recumbency (p = 0.009) – a behaviour associated with comfortable resting. Conclusion: These differences in lying postures exhibited by cows receiving ketoprofen analgesia suggest that, regardless of whether parturition is assisted, a single dose of ketoprofen in the immediate post‐partum period has the potential to improve cow comfort in the first 48 h post‐partum.
