- Abstract
Objective: To review the metabolic and hormonal processes that regulate reproductive activity in dairy cattle during the postpartum anestrus period. Design/methodology/approach: Analysis of scientific documents and systematization of information related to the reproductive physiology and management of dairy cattle in postpartum anestrus. Results: Postpartum anestrus is an event that occurs naturally and is necessary for restoration of the homeostasis of the cow’s body following calving. However, failure to reestablish this homeostasis actually increases its duration and negatively affects the subsequent reproductive performance of the individual cow. Limitations on study/implications: Reproductive management decisions must be based on scientific knowledge. Findings/conclusions: Management of dairy cattle in the postpartum anestrus period should focus on reestablishment of the state of homeostasis and the subsequent reproductive activity, with nutritional and hormonal strategies implemented to induce cyclicity, ovulation and formation of the first corpus luteum in that period, through application of exogenous hormones after day ten postpartum.
