Abstract

D-Calcium pantothenate (Calpan) is known to improve reproductive performance in dairy cattle. However, the mechanism of action on the reproductive system is not well understood. Aim of the present study is to clarify the effects of 10% Calpan powder on the recovery of adrenocortical and ovarian functions and uterine involution in postpartum cows.
