Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a short-term supplementation with rice bran (2 kg/cows/day) on the endocrine and metabolic profiles and hepatic gene expression, associated with the reproductive response in beef cows in grazing conditions. Thirty-eight primiparous beef cows (Hereford, Angus and Hereford × Angus) were used in a randomized block design according to genotype, calving date and body condition score at calving (BCS). At 64±14 days postpartum (day 0 of the experiment), cows were assigned to two nutritional treatments: i) control, grazing native pastures (CON, n=19) and ii) supplemented (SUP, n = 19) for 21 days (days 1 to 21 of the experiment). Blood samples were collected at 0, 7 and 22 days and liver biopsies were obtained at day 22 to determine the abundance of mRNA of growth hormone receptor (GHR), insulin-like growth factor -I (IGF1), and its binding proteins -2 and -3 (IGFBP2 and IGFBP3), and insulin receptor (INSR) using SYBR-Green real-time RT-PCR with hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase as endogenous control. Short-term supplementation with rice bran did not modify either cow BCS or BW, or calf BW or average daily gain. However, it decreased by 11 days the length of postpartum anestrus of primiparous cows in grazing conditions, associated with increased concentrations of glucose and insulin, and reduced hepatic expression of IGFBP2 mRNA at the end of the experimental period.
