Abstract

Of 16 cows, 9 did not exhibit oestrus within 90 days of parturition. These 9 cows had significantly lower body weights, blood glucose and serum protein concentrations than did the 7 cows which exhibited a fertile oestrus. It is suggested that these differences could be used to identify those cows which will not show an early post-partum oestrus.
