“…Especially on the two days before parturition, there is a reduction in dry matter intake (DMI) (LEAN et al, 2013), which can be up to 30% (HAYIRLI et al, 2002). The return or increase occurs slowly, not following the requirements of the cow and leading to a negative energy balance (NEB) (ALVES et al, 2009) and, consequently, to oxidative stress up to four to eight weeks postpartum AITKEN, 2009;KHATTI et al, 2017;PUTMAN et al, 2018).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the metaphylactic effect of subcutaneous doses of trace minerals (copper, zinc, selenium, and manganese) and vitamins A and E on biochemical (NEFA, BHBA, fructosamine, urea, triglycerides, HDL, and calcium) and hormonal parameters (cortisol, insulin, and IGF-1) of Holstein cows in the transition period. Sixty animals kept in a semi-confinement system, with an average production of 22 liters of milk per day (Farm 1) and 24 liters of milk per day (Farm 2) and a diet according to NRC (2001) with a low metabolic challenge, were divided into two groups: a treatment group, supplemented with trace minerals and vitamins (MTVG) (n=30), and a control group (CG) (n=30). The collection of blood samples was performed at the moments M1 (21 days prepartum), M2 (14 days prepartum), M3 (7 days prepartum), M4 (parturition day), M5 (7 days postpartum), M6 (14 days postpartum), and M7 (21 days postpartum). The experimental design was a randomized block design and the data were submitted to analysis of variance with repeated measures in time within the random variable cow. Differences were considered significant at 5% significance level and trend at 10% level. No difference was observed between treatment and the interaction treatment × day in the assessed parameters. However, some variables showed a significant difference of day. NEFA levels (P < 0.0001) were higher on the parturition day. BHBA concentrations were higher after parturition (P=0.0031), with a peak at the third week of lactation. Fructosamine showed increasing values until the parturition day (P=0.0373), in which higher concentrations were observed. Average values of HDL were higher at 21 days postpartum (P < 0.0001). Triglycerides levels remained high during the prepartum period but showed a sudden drop on the parturition day (P < 0.0001), with lower values postpartum. Regarding serum calcium and IGF-1, lower values were observed on the parturition day (P < 0.001) for both parameters. Cortisol presented a difference regarding day, with higher values on the parturition day (P=0.0151). Thus, the use of trace minerals and vitamins A and E in animals with an adequate body score and low metabolic challenge presents a low response to biochemical and hormonal parameters.

“…Qureshi et al, (2010) reported that increase in conception rate and estrus rate following 50 mg selenium administration in buffaloes this may be due to the positive effect of selenium on post-partum uterine involution results in improvement of reproductive performance. Khatti et al, (2017) reported that supplementation of Se (0.3 mg/kg DM) and Vitamin E (80 IU/kg DM) along with 20% additional allowance for energy to the advance pregnant cross bred cow results in significantly higher pregnancy rate and early resumption of postpartum estrus in treated animals as compared to control. Kamada (2017) reported that postpartum plasma progesterone concentrations was higher in selenium yeast (300 mg Se, 10 g yeast) supplemented Holstein cow the control.…”

“…Health disorders with high incidence during this period include milk fever (5 to 7%; [4]), subclinical ketosis (22.4 to 55.7%; [5]), retained fetal membranes (4%, after a normal calving; [6]), metritis (18.5 to 27.6%; [7]) and displaced abomasum (3.5%; [8]), besides increased severity of mastitis [9]. All of these disorders have adverse effects on animal welfare, milk production, reproduction, and farm profitability [10,11].Nutritional management of transition cows is commonly reported as a preventative strategy [4,12,13] to maintain an adequate health status through a holistic view of the cow's metabolism. Actions include supporting the energy, protein, and calcium requirements, as well as favoring the immune and rumen function [1] by providing readily usable sources of nutrients within 21 days after calving.However, the lower energy content of nonstructural carbohydrates compared to fats and a higher risk of rumen acidosis represents a challenge to satisfy the ruminal fermentation that leads to adequate volatile fatty acids (VFA) synthesis and lactogenesis.…”

Background Negative energy balance during the transition period is a concern for both conventional and certified organic dairy systems. During early lactation, supplemental strategies are used to cope with nutrient deficiencies that are associated with impaired health, production, and reproduction. As organic certified dairies in the United States face restricted access to dietary supplements, the evaluation of products especially formulated for organic production is needed. Our objective was to assess the effect of supplementing 0.45 kg/d of an organic rumen-protected fat (RPF) on health, metabolic status, and productive and reproductive performance of organic certified Holstein cows from 1 to 150 days in milk (DIM). Two-hundred and two cows were enrolled in a randomized blocked controlled trial conducted from January to July, 2017 in a certified organic dairy located in Northern Colorado (USA). Two groups were randomly assigned to be individually supplemented with organic RPF (ORG; n = 100) or control pellets (CON; n = 102) once per day, in addition to the total mixed ration (TMR). Outcomes of interest included disease occurrence, culling, mortality, serum concentration of glucose and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), milk yield (kg/d) and milk components, resumption of cyclicity, time-to-first artificial insemination (AI), conception at first AI, and conception within 150 DIM. Results A significant effect for the inclusion of RPF was found in daily milk yield; RPF supplemented cows had greater milk yield (1.6 kg/d) compared to CON cows up to 150 DIM (P = 0.03). During grazing, multiparous (MP) ORG cows had greater milk yield compared to MP CON cows, whereas no effect was found in primiparous (PP) cows. Health outcomes, serum metabolite concentrations, and reproductive performance were not affected by the inclusion of RPF. Body condition loss was smaller in the ORG group up to 80 DIM; however, there was no effect on body condition during the grazing season and in the overall study period. Conclusions These results indicate that supplementation of RPF increased daily milk yield and prevented body condition loss during transition. However, RPF supplementation did not affect health, serum metabolite concentration, milk components, and reproductive outcomes.
