The effect of embryonic death rates in cattle on the efficacy of estrus synchronization programs. (2004, background): “Increased milk yield is accompanied by an increase in feed intake and overall metabolic rate in dairy cows, which might influence peripheral concentrations of ovarian steroids ( Sangsritavong et al., 2002 ).”
A review of the causes of poor fertility in high milk producing dairy cows (2010, background): “One hypothesis explaining the reduced oestradiol concentrations in high producing dairy cows is an increased metabolic clearance rate of oestradiol (Sangsritavong et al., 2002) due to the higher dry matter intakes in high producing dairy cows.”
Embryonic and early foetal losses in cattle and other ruminants. (2008, background): “A series of experiments with dairy cows at the University of Wisconsin (Sangsritavong et al. 2002) have clearly shown that peripheral concentrations of both progesterone and oestradiol are lowered by increased plane of feed intake due to increased metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of the steroids which”
