Metabolic status and ultrasound traits of reproductive tract of estrus dairy cows in early postpartum period

This study indicated that the correlation between ultrasound traits of uterus and metabolite hormones was not significant at the clean test in estrus dairy cows. Moreover, there was no relationship between serum leve l of IGF-1, NEFA, and BHBA with either dominant follicle diameter or existence of corpus luteum (CL). Significant association between ultrasound properties of the uterus and ovaries and metabolic hormone (IGF-1, NEFA, and BHBA) concentrations did not reveal in estrus dairy cows at day 28 ± 3 po stpartum.
