The objective of this study was to investigate certain metabolic biochemical parameters and reproductive performance of dairy cows with postpartum anestrus. A total of 30 healthy Holstein Frisian crossbred cows were divided into 2 groups according to their estrus behaviors on 45-50 d postpartum: estrus (E) cows (showed estrus behaviors on 45-50 d postpartum; n=12) and non-estrus (NE) cows (did not show estrus behaviors on 45-50 d postpartum; n=18). The result showed a tendency of higher milk yield, but lower conception rate at first AI in NE group (P>0.05). The NE group was found to have a lower level of estrogen (P<0.05), progesterone (P>0.05) and IGF-1 (P<0.05) as compared to the E group. The NE group also showed a lesser level of serum triglyceride, HDL and VLDL concentrations (P<0.01). Additionally, the NE group elicited a lesser level of glucose (P>0.05) and insulin (P<0.01) but increased in BHB (P>0.05) and NEFA (P<0.01) levels. However, BHB concentration of the NE group did not have any correlation to ovarian hormones or insulin, but the NEFA concentration exhibited a negative correlation with estrogen (r=-0.531, P<0.05) and progesterone (r= -0.621, P<0.01) concentration. These results suggested that NE group experienced to NEB which resulting in increased the risk of metabolic disorders and impaired fertility.
