Least squares means ± SEM of the largest follicle diameter on days 50 and 55 and the growth rate between days 50 and 55 in Holstein cows
| Parameter | PEB (n = 15) | NEB (n = 15) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| LF diameter on d 50 (mm) | 6.53 ± 0.97 | 7.07 ± 0.90 | 0.690 |
| LF diameter on d 55 (mm) | 12.27 ± 0.66 | 10.53 ± 0.93 | 0.138 |
| Growth rate of the LF (mm/d) | 1.19 ± 0.13 | 0.68 ± 0.11 | 0.007 |
LF – largest follicle; PEB – positive energy balance; NEB – negative energy balance
