Effects of rumen-escape lipid in a range supplement on postpartum reproductive function in beef cows

Hightshoe, R.B.; Cochran, R.C.; Corah, L.R.; Harmon, D.L.; Kiracofe, G.H.
Postpartum cows receiving a range supplement containing rumen-escape lipid exhibited

altered hormone and cholesterol levels compared to cows not fed lipid. Sixty-seven percent of

lipid-fed cows exhibited a normal (18.2 d) first estrous cycle vs 33% for cows not receiving lipid.

Incorporation of rumen-escape lipid into range supplements appears to significantly improve

postpartum reproductive characteristics.
