Protein supplementation on onset of post‐partum ovarian cyclicity of dairy cows: an isotopic immunoassay study

Abstract

Protein is the main nutritional constraint on livestock development in Bangladesh. With this idea in mind, a study was conducted to evaluate the effect of (pulse) concentrate supplementation of protein mixture on the postpartum onset of ovarian cyclicity using an isotopic immunoassay technique. Other relevant parameters were also studied. It was concluded that the protein concentrate supplementation could have produced better weight gain, milk yield and reproductive performance of cows.
