Technical Note: Vaginal Absorption of 1,25(OH)^sub 2^D^sub 3^ in Cattle

ABSTRACT

Although exogenous 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D^sub 3^ [1,25(OH)^sub 2^D^sub 3^] administered via intravenous, intramuscular, and oral routes has been tested for efficacy in preventing parturient hypocalcemia in dairy cows, there are few reports concerning intravaginal administration. For this study, 1,25(OH)^sub 2^D^sub 3^ was administered via the bovine vaginal lumen, and subsequent changes in blood chemistry, including levels of 1,25(OH)^sub 2^D^sub 3^ and several minerals, were measured to confirm vaginal absorption. Each of 5 heifers received a single intravaginal dose of 1 µg of 1,25(OH)^sub 2^D^sub 3^/kg body weight; a single control heifer received the ethanol carrier alone. In ...
