Data from artificial insemination, rectal palpation, and hormone assays were used to characterize postpartum reproductive activity in 54 dairy cows. Progesterone and estradiol-17 beta were measured in milk samples collected for 120 d (Trial 1) or 65 d (Trial 2). Progesterone was higher and estradiol was lower in milk than in serum. Values for both hormones in milk were highly correlated with those in serum. Most cows (64%) had short first luteal phases (less than or equal to 12 d). First rise (28 d) in progesterone was later (33.4 vs. 24.9 d) for cows having short rather than normal (greater than 12 d) luteal phases. Cows were classified as having a short luteal phase followed by a normal luteal phase or as having normal luteal phases for the first two estrous cycles. Estradiol for the 6 d prior to each luteal phase was higher preceding the second phase than the short phase or those preceding both phases of cows with normal phases. Follicular function prior to ovulation, as measured by estradiol, was not responsible for short-lived corpora lutea. Concentrations of progesterone in milk in the late luteal phase prior to insemination were related to fertility.
