The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fresh carrots nutritional supplementation
on the reproductive performance of Simmental cows. The usage of fresh carrots, which may
reach the β-carotene level of 200-1000 mg/kg, may positively affect reproductive
performance in cows, as beta-carotene is essential for the normal function of the reproductive
system. The experiment was carried out on twenty-four Simmental dairy cows, where 12
cows were supplementary fed with 5 kg carrots per cow/day from calving to the first artificial
insemination up to 75 days. Non-supplemented 12 cows served as a control group. All
observed cows were healthy. Reproductive performance was followed by estrus response,
conception rate, pregnancy percentage, calving percentage, and rate of embryonic survival.
All cows included in the survey were gynecologically ultrasound examined without
reproductive disorders. The results of the current study showed that cows in the experiment
group had higher... estrus response and conception rates of 8.3% higher and embryonic survival
rates of 16.6% higher than the control group. We conclude that the nutritional
supplementation of fresh carrots in cows’ diets is stimulating and therefore recommended for
improved reproductive performance, which is attributed to higher β-carotene intake resulting
in better reproductive performance and reduced embryonic death rate.
