“…In our study, none of the cows had a high average milk production and excessive fat mobilization, which explains why we did not observe high concentrations of NEFA (Figure 1). Glucose has an important impact on milk production because lactose is the major osmoregulator for mammary uptake of water (Mandebvu et al, 2003). There were no statistical differences for serum glucose concentrations among treatments (Figure 2).…”

This study was conducted to evaluate effects of calcium propionate on hypocalcemia, dry matter intake, body condition score, milk production and reproductive disorders in dairy cows. Twenty four multiparous Holstein cows were sorted by parity, body condition score (BCS) in close-up period and season of calving and assigned to one of the three treatments. The cows in treatment 1 (T1) received two drenches at calving and 24h after calving. The cows in treatment 2 (T2) received three drenches at calving, 24h after calving and 7 days after calving. The cows in treatment 3 (T3) were the control. Each drench contained 143g of calcium as calcium propionate (0.68kg). Parameters studied were serum calcium, glucose and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations, dry matter intake (DMI), BCS, milk production (MP), incidence of retained placenta (RP) and metritis. Milk fever developed in 5 of 8 cows, in 3 of 8 cows and in 3 of 8 cows in T1, T2 and T3, respectively, at calving. There was no cow with milk fever in T1 and T2 at 4h after second drench (about 28h after calving) but 3 of 8 cows in T3 had still milk fever at this time. The cows receiving two drenches recovered from milk fever in a shorter term as compared to the cows in T3. There were no differences among treatments for DMI, BCS, MP, RP, serum glucose and NEFA concentrations during the experimental period. There was no difference for metritis between T1 and T3 but incidence of metritis in T2 was significantly lower as compared to T3 (P<0.05). Two drenches of calcium propionate were beneficial in treating milk fever and three drenches of calcium propionate were considered to have had a preventive effect for metritis

“…Whitaker (1997) suggest that glucose is not as sensitive an indicator of the cow's energy balance as NEFA and BHBA. The marked reduction in serum glucose concentration in all the groups post-partum, in relation to the pre-partum period, may be attributed to the increased requirement of the mammary gland for glucose needed for lactose synthesis (Ballard et al, 2001;Manderbru et al, 2003).…”

The effectiveness of rapeseed cake and glycerine in feeding dairy cows

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of replacing cereal grains and soyabean oilmeal with rapeseed cake or glycerine in the rations of high-yielding cows. The experiment was carried out on 56 Polish HF cows allotted to 4 groups of 14 animals according to body weight, milk yield, and parity. The cows were fed rations differing in protein and energy content from 6 weeks before calving to 12 weeks of lactation. The basal diet of all groups was composed of silages, meadow hay and concentrate feeds. In the experimental groups, the cereal grains and soyabean oilmeal fed to the control group (C) were replaced by rapeseed cake (30%; groups RC and RC W6

“…Burhans and Bell (1998) reported that postpartum supplementation of 300 g/d of Ca propionate did not affect postpartum milk yield or plasma NEFA concentrations. Mandebvu et al (2003) reported that feeding approximately 110 g/d of a propionate supplement on a commercial dairy farm did not affect milk yield, but transiently decreased plasma NEFA concentrations and urine ketone score. Beem et al (2003) determined that feeding 113.5 g/d of Ca propionate during transition period did not affect DMI, milk yield, or plasma BHBA concentrations.…”

Nutritional Management of Transition Dairy Cows: Strategies to Optimize Metabolic Health

During the transition period, dairy cows undergo large metabolic adaptations in glucose, fatty acid, and mineral metabolism to support lactation and avoid metabolic dysfunction. The practical goal of nutritional management during this timeframe is to support these metabolic adaptations. The National Research Council addressed nutritional management of transition cows for the first time in 2001; however, a substantial amount of research has been reported since this publication was released. Results support 2-group nutritional strategies for dry cows to minimize overfeeding of nutrients during the early dry period but increase nutrient supply to facilitate metabolic adaptation to lactation during the late dry period. Increasing the amount of energy supplied through dietary carbohydrate during the prepartum period results in generally positive effects on metabolism and performance of transition cows. Recent research, however, suggests that the form of that carbohydrate (i.e., starch vs. highly digestible neutral detergent fiber) may be of lesser importance. Attempts to increase energy supply by feeding dietary fat sources or decrease energy expenditure by supplying specific fatty acids such as trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid to decrease milk fat output during early lactation do not decrease the release of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) from adipose tissue. Although the view that nutritional means have limited ability to enhance hepatic export of NEFA as triglycerides in lipoproteins in ruminants has become dogma, recent evidence suggests that nutrients such as choline or specific fatty acids may enhance this process in transi
