Its share in daily ration of the Russian people reaches 35% on behalf of consumption of different products which are made with its use.<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0The main factor restraining the development of dairy cattle-breeding is low indices of band reproduction.<sup>2,3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>It is important to study capacities of high-productive cows\u2019 reproductive system in the interaction with indices of their physiology during ontogenesis<sup>4,5,6<\/sup> for the rise of cattle productivity. As secretion of milk is impossible without calving in cows, then \u2013 normal state of reproductive function is the basis of effective lactation.<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Solving of the problem of intensification of animals\u2019 reproduction mostly depends on the right organization of their keeping, feeding, veterinary control, diagnostics, treatment and prophylaxis on different stages of the reproductive cycle.<sup>8\u00a0<\/sup>This work is many-sided and must bear systematic character. Reproductive capacities mostly depend on conditions of the course of in-calf state, accouchement, postnatal period.<sup>9,10<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>It is necessary to insert some correction into the technology of cattle rehabilitation<sup>11,12 <\/sup>for rational solving of the problem of reproduction, rise of cows\u2019 milk productivity and receiving viable remount cubs. It will provide the increase of the yield of remount heifers with high genetic potential in productivity.<sup>13,14<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>There is some lowering of reproductive function and decrease of calves\u2019 yield in the farms of the country on the whole. It economically harms the branch very much. Reproductive capacities of import cattle (Holstein breed) sharply decrease after the first calving what is mostly connected with the technology of intensive dairy production without reference to cows\u2019 physiological state.<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0That\u2019s why, the search of biotechnological ways of cattle reproduction for working with high-productive animals is really necessary.<sup>15,16<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The aim of the research is to find the ways for the increase of cows\u2019 reproductive capacities and their productive macrobiosis in conditions of the intensive technology of milk production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Materials and Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The study was conducted in strict accordance with the ethical principles established by the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes (adopted in Strasbourg on March, 18<sup>th<\/sup>, 1986, and confirmed in Strasbourg on June, 15<sup>th<\/sup>, 2006).<\/p>\n<p>The study used high-productive animals of Holstein breed at dairy complex \u201cKupinskoe\u201d (Bezenchuk area, Samara region).<\/p>\n<p>There were formed three groups of cows-analogues (according to age, term of in-calf state, ancestry). After cows\u2019 calving on behalf of insemination terms\u2019 correction after accouchement, duration of lactation and with the help of non-graded start there were formed three groups of cows after the first lactation with the level of milk productivity 7000-8000 kg\u00a0 but they had different dead-wood period\u2019s indices before the second calving. In the 1<sup>st<\/sup> group this index was 60 days, in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> group \u2013 80 days and in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> one \u2013 90 days. There were 30 animals in each group.<\/p>\n<p>Biochemical indices of blood were studied according to standard methods for the control of metabolism state. Blood was taken from caudal vein 1.5-2 hours before feeding in 5 cows from every group 15 days before calving. All the applied methods were traditional. The content of common protein in blood serum was determined with the help of refractometer RPL-3 (Russia); separation and quantitative partition of protein fraction\u2019s ratio in blood serum were conducted nephelometrically; the content of carotin was determined according to carr-price; the concentration of common calcium in blood serum was determined complex-metrically; the level of non-organic phosphorus, alkaline reserve and glucose concentration in blood were estimated by orthotoluidinic method.<\/p>\n<p>Reproductive capacities of the examined groups of cows were studied according to the following indices: duration of accouchement course, postnatal period and recovery of cows\u2019 reproductive capacity after calving (by method of timekeeping, rectal investigations and with the help of USI-apparatus KAIXIN-5200 VET).<\/p>\n<p>Digital material of experimental data was processes by the method of variational statistics on difference reliability of comparable indices with the usage of Student\u2019s t-criterion taken in biology and zootechnics, with application of program complex Microsoft Exel7. Reliability degree of the processed data are shown by corresponding symbols \u2013 p&lt;0.05<sup>*<\/sup>; p&lt;0.01<sup>**<\/sup>; p&lt;0.001<sup>***<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While conducting our research we established that duration of accouchement was in interaction with duration of service-period and dead-wood period. So, it was respectively less on 1.97 and 2.22 hours in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> groups than in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> group. It is, evidently, the result of better morpho-functional state of cows\u2019 genitals from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> groups of animals (Table 1). The duration of expulsion of afterbirth in the groups was different: in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> group \u2013 5.20\u00b11.07; in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> group \u2013 2.78\u00b10.45; in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> group \u2013 2.05\u00b10.78 hours. Calculating the duration of expulsion of afterbirth in animals from the control group we didn\u2019t include cases of delay of afterbirth. The 1<sup>st<\/sup> group of animals was registered to have one case of dead birth and one calf died in 1.5 hours after birth. In the first days the most profuse discharge were observed in cows with first calving from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> groups in comparison with the control group. It, evidently, points at the increased contractile uterus\u2019 capacity in animals from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> groups what was promoted by their better preparedness to calving. On the 4-5<sup>th<\/sup> day after accouchement lochia acquired dark-cherry color, on the 10-12<sup>th<\/sup> day after accouchement lochia of animals from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> groups became mucous and lighten. We observed the same changes in 80% of animals from the 1<sup>st<\/sup> group on 3-4 days later (Table 1).<\/p>\n<p>The duration of lochia discharge in different groups was as follows: in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> group \u2013 15.2\u00b12.79 days; in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> group \u2013 12.5\u00b11.80 days; in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> group \u2013 12.0\u00b11.04 days. We determined the ending of the uterus\u2019 involution in the observed groups of animals with the help of rectal investigation of ovaries and uterus (the state of the uterus\u2019 neck, consistency of uterine horns, their sizes, absence of discharge at uterus\u2019 massage, absence of yellow body in ovaries). At the same time, it turned out that duration of uterus\u2019 involution mostly depends on the duration of the dead-wood period. It also correlates with the duration of the accouchement which mostly depends on the preparedness of animals to calving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table 1: The course of calvings and after-calving period of the observed cows\u2019 groups<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 95%;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" rowspan=\"2\" width=\"47%\"><strong>Index<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"3\" width=\"52%\"><strong>Groups of animals<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\"><strong>The 1<sup>st<\/sup> group<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\"><strong>The 2<sup>nd<\/sup> group<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\"><strong>The 3<sup>rd<\/sup> group<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">Quantity of animals<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">10<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">10<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">Duration of accouchement, hours<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">8.42\u00b11.18<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">6.45\u00b10.92<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">6.20\u00b11.04<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">Duration of the expulsion of afterbirth, hours<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">5.20\u00b11.07<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">2.78\u00b10.45<sup>*<\/sup><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">2.05\u00b10.78<sup>*<\/sup><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">Delay of afterbirth, %<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">20<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">Postnatal complications, %<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">40<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">10<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><em>The ending of uterus\u2019 involution, d: <\/em><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">discharge of lochia<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">15.2\u00b12.79<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">12.5\u00b11.80<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">12.0\u00b11.04<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">results of rectal investigations<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">28.0\u00b10.42<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">21.6\u00b11.62<sup>**<\/sup><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">20.8\u00b11.13<sup>**<\/sup><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">Live weight of calves at birth, kg<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">34.6\u00b12.58<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">36.3\u00b11.84<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">36.8\u00b12.12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">Received calves<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"18%\">10<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"16%\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Duration of the ending of uterus involution in different groups was as follows: in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> group \u2013 28.0\u00b14.2; in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> group \u2013 21.6\u00b11.62; in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> group \u2013 20.8\u00b11.13 days. We also note that the increase of duration of dead-wood period reduces the duration of accouchement course and postnatal period.

The duration of dead-wood period in 80 days provides curtailment of duration of accouchement course on 1.97 hours in comparison with the control group of cows what, evidently, is the result of better morpho-functional genitals\u2019 state in the given group of cows before accouchement.<\/p>\n<p>The authors agree with the opinion<sup>3<\/sup> that the level of feeding is not always the cause of low indices of cows\u2019 reproductive function. High dairy productivity and prolonged duration of lactation influence much more. The duration of accouchement and the course of postnatal period are interconnected with the duration of dead-wood period. The dead-wood period in 60 days doesn\u2019t, evidently, provide preparedness of animals to calving what influences negatively the recovery of cows\u2019 reproductive capacities.<\/p>\n<p>At the level of cows\u2019 dairy productivity in 7000-8000 kg and more the recovery of reproductive capacity depends on the duration of dead-wood period. The increase of dead-wood period on 20 days raises recovery indices of cows\u2019 reproductive capacity, the term of animals\u2019 fruitful insemination shortens on 23 days, impregnation capacity in the first rut increases on 27.3% what co-ordinates with the opinion<sup>9<\/sup> that the increase of cows\u2019 impregnation capacity in the first rut points at their preparedness in the course of dead-wood period.<\/p>\n<p>Lowered content of alkaline reserve, low level of albumins with increased content of \u03b2-globulins at 60 days of dead-wood period in high-productive cows testify to lowered resistance of a body and are predisposing pathology factors of accouchement and postnatal period. Lowering of cows\u2019 reproductive capacity after accouchement at disturbance of metabolism was pointed at long ago.<sup>17,18<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Received results of investigations and analysis of literature<sup>19,20 <\/sup>indicate that in conditions of intensive technology of milk production in high-productive cows the duration of dead-wood period must depend on the level of dairy productivity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Optimization of cows\u2019 reproductive capacity and the level of their dairy productivity on behalf of the dead-wood period\u2019s duration provides the increase of animals\u2019 reproductive capacities, prophylaxis of postnatal complications and decrease of genitals\u2019 involution terms in comparison with the control values. The course of accouchement in these groups of animals was quicker and without complications. Recovery of cows\u2019 reproductive capacities after calving in animals from experimental groups also depends on the duration of dead-wood period. We found out that at yield of milk 7000-8000 kg the optimal index of dead-wood period is 80 days what promotes the increase of reproductive capacities and also getting of viable litter from high-productive import cows of Holstein breed. Optimization of dairy productivity level and dead-wood period\u2019s duration provide the increase of adaptive properties in animals and high vitality of calves at birth will provide fuller realization of their genetic potential in periods of raising and exploitation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conflict of Interest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is no conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sources of Funding<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The work is done completely at the expense of the author.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Tuchemsky L.
