Differences in the glucose-induced insulin response and the peripheral insulin responsiveness between neonatal calves of the Belgian Blue, Holstein-Friesian, and East Flemish breeds
Decreased insulin sensitivity (IS) in dairy cows supports milk yield but increases the risk for metabolic and reproductive disorders. Although several inducers of decreased IS are known, it is unclear to what extent it is congenitally determined. The main aim was to investigate differences in IS between neonatal calves of the Belgian Blue (BB) breed, reared for beef production, and the Holstein-Friesian (HF) breed, reared for milk yield. Additionally, a small number of East Flemish (EF) calves, a local dual-purpose breed, were compared with the 2 other breeds. Ten BB, 12 HF, and 4 EF calves wi... Mehr ...
