Questions

Glucаgоn shоuld be cоnsidered when:

Tо elucidаte the rоle оf estrаdiol feedbаck on GnRH pulse generation in postpartum beef cows and its implications for the resumption of estrous cyclicity. Objective 1: To quantify changes in GnRH pulse frequency and amplitude in response to varying levels of estradiol during the postpartum period. Hypothesis 1: Estradiol levels positively regulate GnRH pulse frequency and amplitude, facilitating the resumption of estrous cyclicity postpartum. Objective 2: To investigate the relationship between estradiol levels and LH surge onset in postpartum cows. Hypothesis 2: A critical threshold of estradiol is required to trigger the preovulatory LH surge, with delayed estradiol rises contributing to anovulation in early postpartum cows. Objective 3: To assess the impact of estradiol supplementation on the timing of the first postpartum ovulation. Hypothesis 3: Estradiol supplementation during the early postpartum period will advance the timing of first ovulation by enhancing GnRH and LH surge dynamics. References: Stevenson, J.S., et al.
