Extended lactations in multiparous dairy cows
(Department of Applied Animal Science and Welfare, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, 2025) Hansson, Annica
The substantial increase in milk yield capacity in modern dairy herds has generated interest in extending voluntary waiting period (VWP) as a strategy to prolong the calving interval (CInt). This Licentiate thesis investigated the effects of extended VWP on fertility, milk production, and culling in second-parity cows, as well as associations between CInt, milk yield in second parity and mortality during the first month after the third calving. In a randomized controlled study of 819 second-parity cows from 12 high-yielding commercial herds, cows were allocated to either a conventional (50-day) or extended (140-day) VWP. The VWP treatments resulted in calving intervals of 12.5 and 14.0 months, respectively, but had no effect on daily milk yield per calving interval day, milk yield per lactating day, or dry period length. Fertility improved in the extended VWP group, as indicated by a higher pregnancy proportion in the first service, fewer inseminations per calf and a shorter insemination period. No effect on culling rate was observed. In a retrospective cohort study, data from the Swedish Official Milk Recording Scheme was analyzed to evaluate associations between CInt and on-farm mortality after the third calving. An increased risk of mortality was detected in cows with CInt longer than 13 months. Mortality risk was also associated with high milk yield, both as a 305-day yield and as the yield at the last insemination relative to the herd average at the third test milking. In the subset of the most high-yielding herds, this difference was not statistically significant. Together, these findings indicate that an extended VWP can improve fertility in second-parity cows without compromising milk production or affecting culling rates. However, long CInt were associated with an increased risk of on-farm mortality within 30 days after the subsequent calving.
