High-yielding dairy cows postpartum face the challenge of negative energy balance leading
to elevated free fatty acids levels in the serum and follicular fluid thus affecting the ovarian …

In high-yielding dairy cows, the negative energy balance (NEB) during the first weeks post
partum may influence dominant follicle growth and steroidogenesis. Since non-esterified …

In Westernized societies, average consumption of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)
far exceeds nutritional requirements. The ratio of n-6 to n-3 PUFAs is generally> 10: 1 …

Diets or supplements high in n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been
shown to influence the timing of parturition. PUFAs are substrates for prostaglandin (PG) …

The effects of different ratios of dietary (n-3):(n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids on
prostaglandin E, prostaglandin F 2α and ovulation in rats were assessed. Dietary (n-3) …

Metabolic conditions characterized by elevated free fatty acid concentrations in blood and
follicular fluid are often associated with impaired female fertility. Especially elevated …

Reproductively normal crossbred beef heifers were individually offered a diet of barley straw
and concentrate supplemented with one of four levels of a fish oil (FO) enriched supplement …

There has been a marked decline in the fertility of dairy cows over the past decades, and
metabolomic analysis offers a potential to investigate the underlying causes. Metabolite …

As lactating cows in severe negative energy balance have poor reproductive performance,
the effect of dietary fat supplementation (fish oil, soybean oil) on PGFM secretion, ovarian …

Purpose The effect of supplementing maturation medium with follicular fluid (FF) was
examined according to its non‐esterified fatty acid (NEFA) content or with a fatty acid mixture …
