title: [Pregnancy in dairy cows in various times of the year in relation to thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels].
abstract: Conception of dairy cows was investigated in relation to changes in thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations in March (n = 15), June (n = 10) November (n = 7) after oestrus synchronization by cloprostenol (Oestrophan Spofa) at a dose of 0.05 mg per head. The cows were inseminated from 8.00 to 9.00 o'clock a.m. Blood was taken from 9.00 to 10.00 a.m. from v. jugularis on the day of Oestrophan treatment (-3rd day), on the day of insemination (day 0), and on the 6th and 21st day after insemination. The lowest percentage of pregnant cows (26.67%) was recorded after the March insemination, the highest (50.0%) after the June insemination. 42.86% of cows became pregnant in November. Concentrations T4 in pregnant animals on the day 0 of March insemination were 67.55 +/- 16.95 nmol.1-alpha of serum. Nonsignificant decrease to value 65.60 +/- 10.06 and 49.33 +/- 17.47 nmol.l-1 of serum were observed on the day of June and November insemination. In T3 concentrations an average decrease from the values of 2.53 +/- 0.67 nmol.l-alpha on day 0 of the March insemination to 1.48 +/- 0.67 nmol.l-alpha on day 0 of the June insemination was observed, as well as a significant decrease to 0.80 +/- 0.45 nmol.l-1 of serum (P less than 0.05) on the day of the November insemination. Considering the results we suppose that the conception of dairy cows has an indirect relationship to thyroid hormones.
