Abstract
In this study, the effect of orally given fluid-electrolyte and energy supplementation immediately after the delivery on some metabolic and fertility parameters was investigated. Holstein dairy cows which were housed in a private dairy company under same management and feeding programs divided into two groups as experiment (n=70) and control (n=75). Cows in the experiment group were treated by orally given 5 kg fluid-electrolyte and energy supplementation dissolved in 20 litres lukewarm water for consecutive three days, whereas the control group received only 20 litres of lukewarm water. The ear tag numbers of all cows used in the study were recorded and monitored until next delivery. It was determined that the concentrations of βHBA in the experiment group was lower than those measured in the control group (p0.05). It was seen that the synchronization rate was lower in the experiment group than those detected in the control group (p0.05). On the other hand, the service number per pregnancy was displayed a higher incidence in the control group as compared to the experiment group (p
