“…It is conceivable that feeding influences the ovarian response to gonadotropins (Gombe and Hansel, 1973). There was a positive correlation between the degree of fatness of an animal and the plasma concentration of 17 !3-oestradiol, 7 weeks after calving (Lishman et al, 1979).Feeding affects the release of luteinizing hormone (LHI and subsequent luteal function Spitzer et al, 1975 ;Apgar et al, 1975 ;Beal et al, 1978). It has been observed that the release of LH induced by gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) injection was greater in underfed heifers (Beal et al, 1978 ;Gauthier and Mauleon, 1983), underfed ewes (Haresign, 1981) and underfed rats (Campbell et al, 1977) (Cummins et al, 1975 ;Beal et al, 1978) or have noted a lower release of LH (Lishman et al, 1979 ;Jordan and Swanson, 1979 ;Echterkamp et al, 1982).…”

“…The magnitude of the GnRH-induced release of LH was directly proportionnal to follicular diameter (Smith et al, 1983 ;Lishman et al, 1979) and oestrogen concentrations in postpartum cattle (Fernandes et al, 1978 Manns et al, 1983) but tend to increase during the first few days after calving (Webb et al, 1980 ; Peters et al, 19811. ).…”

Summary. The Clinically, the postpartum period is characterized by a period of behavioural anoestrus, the duration of which differs in different breeds.If the detection of oestrus is optimal, anoestrus lasts for 20 to 70 days in dairy cows Callahan et al., 1971 ;Schams et al., 1978 ;Pirchner et al., 1983 ;Richardson et al., 1983 ;Etherington et al., 1984). This period is highly variable in suckled cows and lasts from 30 to 110 days (Wiltbank and Cook 1958 ;Oxenreider 1968 ;Graves et al., 1968 ;Casida et al., 1968 ; Nancarrow et al., 1977 ;Holness et al., 1978 ;Wettemann et a/., 1978 ;Short et al., 1979 ;Dunn and Kaltenbach, 1980 ;Kesler et al., 1980 ;Randel, 1981 ;Montgomery, 1982 ;Peters and Riley, 1982 . Jainudeen et al., 1982Bastidas et al., 1984 ;King and Mc Leod, 1983Leod, /1984Hansen and Hauser, 1984 ;Montgomery et al., 1985).Assay of progesterone in plasma or milk has shown that 88 % of animals of dairy breeds have an luteal activity present by 35 days after calving (Ball and Lamming, 1983) and 95 % within 50 days (Bulman and Lamming, 1978). According to different authors, the first rise of progesterone appears between 16 and 69 days after calving in dairy cows (Webb et al., 1977(Webb et al., , 1980Pirchner et al., 1983) and between 56 and 96 days in suckled cows (Fonseca et al., 1980 ;Peters and Riley 1982 ; Jainudeen et al., 1982 Jainudeen et al., /1983Montgomery et al., 1985).It is possible to detect ovarian follicles by rectal palpation in both milked and suckled cow from the second week after calving (Saiduddin et al., 1968 ;Callahan et al., 1971 ;Kesler et al., 1979 ;Webb et al., 1980 ;Kesler et al., 1980 ;Stevenson et al., 1983 (Wiltbank et al., 1962(Wiltbank et al., , 1964Dunn et al., 1969 ; Lammond, 1970 ;Corah et al., 1975 ;Whitman et a/., 1975 ;Duffour, 1975 ;Holness et al., 1978 ;Carstairs et al., 1980 ;Dunn and Kaltenbach, 1980 ; Gauthier and Thimonnier, 1982 ;Peters and Riley, 1982 ; Mc Leod, 1983/1984 ;Rutter and Randel, 1984). Some authors have found that overfeeding improves ovarian (Wiltbank et al., 1962(Wiltbank et al., , 1964Hansen et al., 1982) or pituitary (Beal et al., 1978 ;Jordan and Swanson, 1979 ;Lishman et al., 1979 ;Moss et al., 1982) function.
