Fifty Brangus cows were randomly allotted to suckled (S) or nonsuckled (NS) treatment groups on day 20 postpartum. Suckled cows were nursed at 6 hr intervals for 72 hours. Nonsuckled cows were separated from their calves for the entire 72 hours. At 24 hr after initial separation from calves, S and NS cows were given an I.M. challenge of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 or 4.0 mg estradiol-17beta (E2) to induce a luteinizing hormone (LH) surge (five cows per treatment group). Blood samples were taken at the time of E2 injection and at 2 hr intervals until hr 48 post-injection. Blood serum was analyzed for LH content via radioimmunoassay. Suckled and NS cows manifesting an LH surge after receiving less than 4 mg E2 were 2 of 15 vs 9 of 15 (P<.01), or 4 mg E2 dose were 5 of 5 vs 5 of 5, respectively. Greater serum LH concentrations in NS than S cows were found with dose levels of 0, 0.5 and 1.0 mg E2 (P<.005), but there was no difference by period. Differences by treatment (P<.05) and by period (P<.005) were found at the 2 mg E2 dose. Suckled and NS cows having an LH surge at less than a 4 mg E2 challenge had no differences in LH concentration or timing parameters. Four mg E2 hastened the time of onset of the LH surge (P<.025), time till peak height of the surge (P<.025) and completion of the surge (P<.10). No differences in postpartum interval or conception rate were found between S and nonsuckled. Suckling impairs hypothalamic/pituitary response to low E2 challenge dose and elicits changes in timing parameters in response to high E2 dosage.
