“…Trace elements as copper, iron, zinc, selenium and manganese play important roles in several biochemical processes as they are essential component in the antioxidant enzymes as superoxide dismutase and catalase (Yang and Li, 2015). Our findings of increased recovery rates through the use of anti-oxidant trace mineral supplementation is supported by the findings of Machado et al, (2013) and Sordillo and Mavangira (2014) who also advocated controlling mastitis through appropriate antioxidant supplementation in terms of trace mineral supplementation that could potentially boost the animals health status and performance.…”

“…On another study, the authors failed to identify an association between the concentration of Se and the SCC at the level of bulk tanks, although they identified that higher bulk tank Se concentration was associated with a lower risk of being a Staphylococcus aureus positive herd (Ceballos‐Márquez et al., ). Dairy cows supplemented parentally with a combination of different trace elements (Se, Cu, Zn and Mn) showed lower SCC levels (decreased incidence of subclinical mastitis) in comparison to the control cows (Machado et al., ), although this supplementation did not affect energy metabolites or immune and OS parameters (Bicalho et al., ).…”

SummaryDairy cows are especially vulnerable to health disorders during the transition period, when they shift from late pregnancy to the onset of lactation. Diseases at this stage affect not only the animals' well-being, but also cause a major economic impact in dairy farms, because apart from treatment costs, affected cows will not reach their peak milk-producing capacity. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to oxidative stress, which has been identified as an underlying factor of dysfunctional inflammatory responses. Supplementation with vitamins and trace elements attempts to minimize the harmful consequences of excessive ROS production, thereby trying to improve animals' health status and to reduce disease incidence. However, results regarding the effects of supplementing antioxidants on dairy cows' health and performance have been inconsistent, because in most cases, the antioxidant potential of the animals was not assessed beforehand and the nutritional strategy planned accordingly. Therefore, reviewing the physiological and harmful effects of ROS production, along with the different options available for assessing the redox balance in dairy cattle and some of the key findings of different supplementation trials, could bring one step forward the on-farm application of determinations of oxidative status for establishing nutritional strategies early enough in the dry period that could improve transition cow health.

Effect of Genus and Growth Stage on the Chemical and Mineral Composition of Tropical Grasses Used to Feed Dairy Cows

In tropical production systems, dairy cows are rarely supplemented with minerals, which often lead to mineral imbalances. Grasses grown together in the same soil type and sampled at the same growth stage can vary widely in chemical and mineral composition; therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the chemical and mineral composition of Urochloa spp., Megathyrsus spp., and Andropogon spp. at three different stages of growth in the same soil type. The content of dry matter (DM; g 100 g -1 ) was higher (P≤0.05) in Urochloa spp. than in Andropogon spp. and Megathyrsus spp. Hemicellulose, non-fiber carbohydrates and slowly degraded true protein contents were higher (P≤0.05) in Andropogon spp. than in Urochloa spp. and Megathyrsus spp. Ether extract, crude protein, rapidly degraded true protein and unavailable protein contents were not affected by genus, whereas ether extract, ash, neutral detergent fiber, non-fiber carbohydrates, rapidly degraded true protein and unavailable protein contents were not affected by growth stage. Compared with Urochloa spp. and Andropogon spp., Megathyrsus spp. had higher (P≤0.05) contents of Na and Mg, intermediate (P≤0.05) contents of Mn and lower (P≤0.05) contents of Zn. P, Na, and K contents were affected by growth stage. Compared with Megathyrsus spp. and Andropogon spp., Urochloa spp. was higher (P≤0.05) in P and Na contents. Results from this study may be useful in predicting the nutrient and mineral supply from forages in dairy production systems in tropical areas.
