This paper mainly focuses on the study of the inclusion of propylene glycol (PG) as energy compound and its possible effect on minimizing the negative energy balance. Objetive. Evaluate on reproductive parameters, specifically on rates of calving to first service, days open, calving to first observed heat, as well as its effect on insulin secretion and ovarian activity. Materials and Methods. 20 Holstein cows were assigned to one of four supplementation levels: 0, 300, 500 and 700 grams of PG / day mixed in food, from day 10 prepartum and through day 20 postpartum. Blood samples were collected on 10 and 5 prepartum and days 0, 5, 10 15 and 20 postpartum to determine the concentration of insulin were also done to determine transrectal ultrasound follicular growth and ovarian resumption. All data for the evaluation of reproductive parameters were taken from the day of delivery, making daily observations of animals 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon to record possible heat presented. Results. There were no significant differences for the variables within the different treatments (p> 0.05), only a trend to decrease the open days when you include a dose of 500 g of propylene glycol with respect to the other groups.Conclusions. The inclusion of propylene glycol had no significant effect on insulin secretion, or the number and size of preovulatory follicles (p> 0.05). It is very likely that the propylene supply mode and time of collection of blood samples affect the identification of the increase in insulin secretion.

“…Por otra parte, aun cuando no existe diferencia estadística entre tratamientos, si existe en la rentabilidad, en este valor se tendrian que considerar todos los factores naturales que conllevan. Por otra parte, en los sistemas de producción, la investigación aplicada debe considerarse en un marco económicoadministrativo siempre que esta, además de viable y factible sea rentable (Ruiz, 2017).…”

Effect of the energy level of the diet of Holstein cows in early and mid-lactation on the sanitary and hygienic quality of milk

“…In dairy cows, the transition period between the three weeks before parturition and the three weeks after it is characterized by dramatic modifications, especially in physiological, endocrinological, and nutritional aspects (Castro-Ruiz et al 2017). At the beginning of the lactation, there is an energetic deficiency (Álvarez et al 2006), since there is a sudden increase of the energy requirements because of the high demand for galactopoietic, which increases the mobilization of body reserves to keep the milk yield (Esposito et al 2014).…”
