Тhe content of calcium and phosphorus in the blood of cows with a different tonus of the autonomic nervous system

Abstract

Zhurenko, O.V., Karpovskiy, V.I., Danchuk, О.V., & Kravchenko-Dovga, Yu.V. (2018). Тhe content of calcium and phosphorus in the blood of cows with a different tonus of the autonomic nervous system. Scientific MessengerResearch was conducted on cows of the Ukrainian black-and-white breed of the 2-3 lactation. Tonus of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) of cows was determined using trigeminovagal reflex (TVR). According to the obtained results, an animal was designate as normotonics, sympatheticotoniсs or vagotonics. According to the results of the study of the ANS tonus, 3 experimental groups were formed 4 animals in each. The first group included animals-normotonics, the second -vagotonics, and the third one -sympatheticontics. It was established a tendency of сalcium/hosphorus lower content in the blood of cows during the warm season and higher in the winter (in the range of 3-8%). It should also be noted that there was tendency towards lower calcium content in the blood of vagotonic cows and higher -in sympatheticotoniс animals, regardless of the season. Unlike calcium, the content of phosphorus in the blood of cows significantly depended on the ANS tonus. In particular, the content of this element in the blood of sympatheticotoniс and vagotonic cows in winter was lower by 14.0% (P < 0.001) and 18.3% (P < 0.001), respectively. However, in the summer, this difference became significantly smaller and had character of a trend (at the level of 5.0-7.2%). It has been established that the calcium-phosphorus ratio in cow's blood did not depend significantly on the ANS tonus or on the season of the year, but a clear trend was established for its lower value in summer, regardless of the ANS tonus. The strength of excitability levels of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system according to the results of the TVR in cows did not significantly limit the phosphorus content in their blood in summer, and calcium in winter (η 2 x = 0.00-0.019). But in normotonic animals, the ANS tonus significantly affected the calcium-phosphorus ratio -η 2 x = 0.59 (P < 0.05) and the phosphorus content in their blood -η 2 x = 0.29 (P < 0.05) in winter. It was established that ANS tonus in sympatheticotonic animals limited the phosphorus content in winter -η 2 x = 0.35 (P < 0.05) and the calcium-phosphorus ratio as in summer -η 2 x = 0.29 (P < 0.05) so in winter -η 2 x = 0.45 (P < 0.05). Whereas in vagotonic cows, the ANS tonus limited the calcium content in the summer -η 2 x = 0.26 (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis of the ANS tonus index, phosphorus and calcium content in cow's blood did not establish significant interrelationships depending on the season of the year. However, it should be noted a clear trend of direct correlation of the index of the ANS tonus with the calcium content (r = 0.24-0.35) and the calcium-phosphorus ratio (r = 0.43-44) in the cows' blood and the reverse one with the phosphorus content in the cows' blood (r = -0.22-0.30). The data obtained could indicate on the presence of autonomic regulatory mechanisms ...

Interactions of productivity, content of separate amino acids, general protein in blood serum of chickens and tone of the autonomic nervous system

“…The autonomic nervous system maintains homeostasis and regulates the stability of the internal matrix fluid needed to sustain life. It is found that the indicators of metabolism in the body of farm animals depend on the tone of the autonomic nervous system (Zhurenko et al, 2018). The high level of productivity of poultry depends on the intensity of metabolic processes, which promotes rapid absorption of nutrients, early maturity and high productivity (Kyryliv et al, 2015).…”

Morphological and morphometrical characteristics of cattle heart structure

“…Серцево-судинна система, до складу якої входить серце та кровоносні судини, є однією із інтегруючих систем організму, що відіграє важливу роль у підтриманні його гомеостазу і сприяє реалізації функцій нервової, ендокринної системи та органів імунного захисту (Zhurenko et al, 2018). Вона регулює кровопостачання органів, тиск крові, забезпечує відтік лімфи органів і транспорт її у вени (Khomych et al, 2020).…”

Content of natural antioxidants depending on typological features of autonomous regulation in chickens

“…Автономна нервова система підтримує гомеостаз та регулює стабільність внутрішньої матричної рідини, необхідної для підтримання життя (Cannon, 1939). Встановлено, що показники обміну речовин в організмі сільськогосподарських тварин залежать від тонусу автономної нервової системи (Zhurenko et al, 2018). Високий рівень продуктивності сільськогосподарської птиці залежить від інтенсивність обмінних процесів, що сприяє швидкому засвоюванню поживних речовин, ранній скоростиглості та високій продуктивності (Kyryliv et al, 2015).…”
