Abstract

This study conducted to determine effect of the rumen-protected choline and methionine supplementation to peripartum dairy cattle on metabolic profile, metabolic disorders and some reproductive parameters. For this, 3-6 year-old, multiparous, healthy and pregnant 32 high-yield Holstein dairy cows were divided into 4 different groups during trial as: a control (CON) group with no supplementation to the ration; a 75 gr/day rumen-protected choline chloride (CHOL) supplemented group, 42 gr/ day methionine (MET) supplemented group, 75 gr/ day choline chloride and 42 gr/ day methionine (MET + CHOL) supplemented group were during three weeks before and after parturation. Blood samples were taken at wk -3, calving, wk 3 and wk 10 and were analyzed. Health problems and reproductive data were recorded during treatment. Statistically significant differences were detected in non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), glucose, total protein, albumin, direct bilirubin, total cholesterol and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). Results of this study suggested that rumen-protected choline and methionine supplementation to the rations of dairy cattle affected some metabolic profile parameters. The statistical differences in metabolic profile tests did not affect metabolic diseases and reproductive parameters.

Keywords

Geçiş Dönemindeki Süt Sığırlarında Korunmuş Kolin ve Metiyonin İlavesinin Metabolik Profil ve Bazı Üreme Parametreleri Üzerine Etkileri

Abstract

Bu çalışma, korunmuş kolin ve metiyonin ilavesinin peripartum süt sığırlarda metabolik profil, metabolik hastalıklar ve bazı üreme parametreleri üzerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada, 3-6 yaş arası, en az bir doğum yapmış, sağlıklı ve gebe 32 baş yüksek verimli Holştayn ırkı süt sığırı kullanıldı. Süt sığırları 4 farklı gruba ayrılarak, kontrol (KON) grubunda yer alan süt sığırlarının rasyonlarına deneme süresince herhangi bir katkı yapılmazken, kolin klorür (KOL) grubundaki süt sığırlarının rasyonlarına doğum öncesi 3 hafta ve doğum sonrası 3 hafta boyunca 75 gr/gün dozunda korunmuş formda kolin klorür, metiyonin (MET) grubundaki süt sığırlarının rasyonlarına ise 42 gr/gün dozunda korunmuş formda metiyonin, Metiyonin ve Kolin Klorür (MET + KOL) grubunda yer alan sığırlarada 75 gr/gün dozunda korunmuş formda kolin klorür ve 42 gr/gün dozunda korunmuş formda metiyonin ilave edildi. Kan örnekleri doğumdan önce 3. hafta, doğumda ve doğumdan sonra 3. ve 10. haftalarda alındı ve ticari kitlerle analiz edildi. Araştırma esnasında sağlık sorunları ve üreme verileri kaydedildi. NEFA, IGF-1, glikoz, total protein, albumin, direkt bilurubin, total kolestrol ve çok düşük dansiteli lipoproteinlerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edildi. Bu araştırmanın sonucunda, süt sığırlarının rasyonlarına korunmuş kolin ve metiyonin ilavesinin bazı metabolik profil parametrelerini etkilediğini göstermiştir. Metabolik profil testlerindeki istatistiksel farklılıklar, metabolik hastalıklar ve üreme parametrelerini etkilemedi.
