Changes in the relationship between blood plasma glucose concentration and milk production in Czech Pied cows in the course of the year

Groups of 20 to 23 dairy Czech Pied cows were observed monthly for the period of 12 months (12 test days). The cows in experimental groups were in their early lactation. The mean number of lactation was 2,8, the cows were on average 54.8 days after calving and the mean glucose concentration in blood...

description Groups of 20 to 23 dairy Czech Pied cows were observed monthly for the period of 12 months (12 test days). The cows in experimental groups were in their early lactation. The mean number of lactation was 2,8, the cows were on average 54.8 days after calving and the mean glucose concentration in blood plasma was 3.93 mmol/l. During the first 100 days of lactation milk yield amounted to 2581 kg with 3.91% fat, 3.48% protein and 4.85% lactose.The coefficients of the correlation between blood plasma glucose and the observed milk production parameters calculated independently for each test day ranged as follows: -0.597 to 0.130 for number of lactation, -0.389 to 0.585 for days after calving, -0.462 to 0.361 for milk yield, -0.201 to 0.526 for milk fat content, -0.385 to 0.632 for milk protein content and -0.600 to 0.469 for milk lactose content. The calculated coefficients of the correlation between blood plasma glucose and milk production parameters did not reveal a clear tendency in the relationships. However, the graphic polynomial expression showed that glucose level had a positive relationship with days after calving and mainly positive relationship with milk protein content; glucose content had a negative relationship with milk yield and number of lactation and a mainly negative relationship with fat content and lactose content.
