The purpose of the present study was to determine changes of plasma osteocalcin levels in periparturient cows and to examine the correlation of plasma osteocalcin level with that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, Ca, and inorganic P. Five Holstein-Friesian cows, aged 3 to 5 yr, were used from 5 d before to 15 d after calving, Concentration (mean ± SE) of plasma osteocalcin decreased rapidly from d 1 prepartum, reached a low of 8.0 ± 3.0 ng/ml at d 1 postpartum, and then recovered gradually to 17.8 ± 3.8 ng/ml at 15 d after calving. In contrast, the concentration of plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D increased from calving to 3 d postpartum. Plasma concentrations of osteocalcin did not correlate significantly with those of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, but it was significantly proportional to that of Ca and inorganic P. It is suggested that osteoblast function is depressed by a number of factors around the time of parturition.
