Summary. Importance of studying osteoporosis and bone mineral density is due to the search for understanding on the regulation of bone mineral density, finding the signaling pathways and novel therapeutic targets, clarification of the gene network of osteoporosis. Since it is not always possible to assess the influence of various factors on the normal variation in bone mineral density, it is advisable to use animals as models. The aim of this study was evaluation of the bone mineral density and its relation with reproductive and productive characteristics of lactating dairy cows. Statistical methods included Pearson’s chi-squared and t criteria, Pearson’s and Spearmen correlation coefficient r and ANOVA. We analyzed the bone tissue indicators, productive and reproductive traits of dairy cows. The relation between health and reproduction traits of dairy cows — somatic cell count in milk, the open day, efficiency of insemination and the bone mineral density of cows was demonstrated. Also we found that bone mineral density was in a negative correlation with between somatic cell count in milk (r = –0.67), duration of open day (r = –0.50). More insemination was required for animals with a lower level of bone mineral density (r = –0.67). The level of bone mineral density is notified as independent from age, number of lactations and pregnancy, and the productivity of cows — milk yield, milk fat, milk protein. In the absence of the influence of chemical agents on metabolism, the processes of pregnancy and lactation are not a reason for reducing the bone mineral density in a balanced and high-grade diet.

Keywords: bone mineral density, dairy cows, milk traits, osteoporosis, reproduction of cows, somatic cell count
