. 2010. Free endotoxins in the feces of lactating dairy cows. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 90: 591Á594. A survey was conducted on 300 lactating dairy cows on 10 dairy farms to determine how risk factors for and symptoms of excessive grain feeding and subacute ruminal acidosis are associated with the concentrations of endotoxins in feces measured with the Limulus amoebocyte lysate test. Increases in days in milk and haptoglobin in blood plasma were associated with lower (P00.02) and higher (P 00.02) fecal endotoxin, respectively. The five farms with a dietary neutral detergent fibre (NDF) content higher than 33.8% of DM had lower (PB0.01) fecal endotoxin than those with a dietary NDF content lower than 33.8% of DM (31 790 vs. 69 276 endotoxin units (EU) g(1 of wet feces, PB0.01). Parity, milk yield, milk fat percentage, milk protein percentage, the blood plasma concentration of serum amyloid A, and the dietary content of physically effective fibre were not associated with the fecal endotoxin concentration.Key words: Dairy cattle, feces, endotoxin, acute phase proteins, subacute ruminal acidosis Li, S., Khafipour, E., Krause, D. O., Rodriguez-Lecompte, J. C. et Plaizier, J. C. 2010. Les endotoxines libres dans les fe`ces des vaches laitie`res en lactation. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 90: 591Á594. Les auteurs ont effectue´une e´tude sur 300 vaches en lactation dans 10 exploitations laitie`res afin d'e´tablir les liens qui existent entre la concentration d'endotoxines dans les fe`ces, de´termine´e graˆce au test de la lysase des amibocytes de Limulus, et les facteurs de risque ainsi que les symptoˆmes d'une suralimentation en grain et d'une acidose subaigue¨dans le rumen. L'augmentation du nombre de jours en lactation et de la concentration d'haptoglobine dans le plasma sont respectivement relie´s a`une plus faible (P00,02) et a`une plus forte (P00,02) concentration d'endotoxines fe´cales. Les 5 e´levages dans lesquels la concentration de fibres au de´tergent neutre (FDN) de´passait 33,8% de la quantite´de matie`re se`che se caracte´risaient par une concentration d'endotoxines fe´cales infe´rieure (PB0,01) a`celle releve´e dans les exploitations ou`la concentration de FDN dans les aliments e´tait infe´rieure a`33,8% de la concentration de matie`re se`che (31 790 c. 69 276 unite´s d'endotoxine par gramme de fe`ces humides, P B0,01). Le rang de naissance. le rendement laitier, la concentration de matie`re grasse dans le lait, la proportion de prote´ines dans le lait, la concentration de prote´ine amyloı¨de A se´rique dans le plasma et la concentration de fibres physiquement efficaces dans les aliments ne pre´sentent aucun lien avec la concentration d'endotoxines dans les fe`ces.
