Present study was conducted to observe effect of supplementing rumen protected methionine and choline on leukogram profile, oxidative stress, inflammatory immunomodulatory responses during transition period in Surti buffaloes. Twenty-seven pregnant buffaloes were selected divided into three groups nine animals each with following diet regime: Group I (Control)-basal diet, II (RPM)-basal diet+ru...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary glycerol on dry matter intake (DMI), milk yield and components, blood metabolites, and efficiency in the transition cow. The study was conducted from Feb. to Oct. of 2008 using 48 cows (25 primiparous and 23 multiparous). The study ran from 3wk prepartum to 8wk postpartum with a randomized block design using a 2 × 2 factorial. Treatments...

Negative dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) diets fed prepartum induce a compensated metabolic acidosis, which stimulates Ca flux before calving and decreases clinical subclinical hypocalcemia after calving. Effects of low or high in these are unclear. Our objective was to determine the effects inducing acidosis amount on urinary mineral excretion serum concentrations during transition peri...

ÖZET PREPARTUM VE POSTPARTUM HELLP SENDROMU : PERİPARTUM DÖNEMDE TİPİK LABORATUVAR VERİLERİN SEYRİ Amaç: Prepartum ve postpartum HELLP olgularında laboratuvar parametrelerinin değişimini incelemek. Yöntem: 1995-1998 yılları arasında izlenen 59 HELLP olgusu retrospektif olarak incelendi. Gebeler prepartum (n:37) ve postpartum (n:22) olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Prepartum son 48 saat ile postpartum ...

Cashew nut shell extract (CNSE) is a byproduct of the cashew industry containing bioactive compounds that alter rumen fermentation patterns. Therefore, study objectives were to evaluate effects CNSE (59% anacardic acid and 18% cardol) on production, variables, metabolism, inflammation in transition dairy cows. Fifty-one multiparous Holstein cows used randomized design assigned treatment based t...

Context Poor nutrition of late-pregnant cows is highly prevalent in the dry tropics and associated with high levels calf mortality. Aims It was hypothesised that supplementation protein to prepartum would restore normal decline progesterone increase transfer passive immunity calves, this being further enhanced by inclusion yeast fermentation products. Methods In total, 84 heifers 45 were select...

Plant extracts have been recognized as beneficial to human health and evaluated feed additive for domestic companion animals. This study oregano green tea fed Jersey cows from approximately 21 d before calving after on milk production, composition, blood metabolites well investigated immunological antioxidant attributes. Twenty-four with 441 ± 27 kg of BW, 3.5 0.3 body condition score (BCS), 2....

ative to calving, and twice weekly postpartum. Plasma were analyzed for triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, lipoprotein cholesterol and fatty acids. Changes in plasma lipid concentrations during the periparturient period were characterized for the first time. Plasma lipid concentrations were not affected by feeding rumen-protected choline. Cows fed SB beginning at 28 days prepartum had highe...

The present study evaluated the interaction of pregnancy type [PT; single (S) vs. twin (T)] and dry period feeding management [D; close-up (CU) diet (NE(l) = 1.54 Mcal/kg of DM)] throughout the entire dry period (8W) vs. far-off (FO) diet (NE(l) = 1.32 Mcal/kg of DM) from 60 to 21 d before expected calving date (ECD) followed by CU diet until calving (3W). Treatments were arranged in a 2 x 2 fa...
