Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of
prepartally injections of antioxidants on total antioxidant status (TAS), total
oxidant status (TOS) and udder health parameters on day 14 postpartum in
Holstein-Friesian cows. Sixty-eight multiparous cows
were divided into treatment (TRE; n=33) and control (CON; n=35) groups. Injections
of vitamins (A, D and E) and trace elements (Se,
Cu, Zn and Mn) were
administered intramuscularly to cows into the TRE group on 21±5 and 10±5 days
prepartum. Blood and milk samples were collected to evaluate
beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), TAS, TOS and udder health (somatic cell count
(SCC), total bacterial count (individual bacteria count (IBC) and colony
formation unit (CFU)). TAS levels were higher in the TRE group than the CON group.
And TOS levels were lower in the TRE group than the CON
group (P<0.001). Cows in
the TRE group had lower SCC than the cows in the CON group (p=0.042). In
conclusion, prepartally supplements of antioxidants were effectively reduced
levels of serum TOS and SCC and increased levels of serum TAS. But, it was
detected that it did not affect on IBC and CFU levels.

Holstein-Friesian İneklerde Prepartal Vitamin ve İz Element Takviyelerinin Postpartum 14. Günde Toplam Antioksidan ve Oksidan Durumları ve Meme Sağlığı Parametreleri Üzerine Etkileri

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Holstein-Friesian ırkı ineklerde
prepartal vitamin ve iz element enjeksiyonlarının postpartum 14. günde toplam
antioksidan ve oksidan seviyeleri (TOS ve TAS) ile meme sağlığı parametreleri
üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesiydi. Altmış sekiz multipar inek tedavi
(TED; n=33) ve kontrol (KON; n=35) grubu olarak ikiye ayrıldı. TED grubundaki
ineklere prepartum 21±5 ve 10±5 günlerde intramuskuler vitamin (A, D, E) ve iz
element (Cu, Zn, Se, Mn) enjeksiyonları yapıldı. Beta hidroksi bütirik asit
(BHBA), TOS ve TAS ile meme sağlığını (somatik hücre sayısı (SHS), toplam
bakteri sayısı (bireysel bakteri sayısı (BBS) ve koloni oluşturan birim (KOB))
değerlendirmek için kan ve süt örnekleri toplandı.
TAS seviyesi kontrol
grubuna göre tedavi grubunda daha yüksek bulunurken TOS seviyesi daha düşük
bulundu. Tedavi grubundaki ineklerin SHS’leri, kontrol grubundakilerden daha
düşüktü (p=0.042). Sonuç olarak, prepartal antioksidan takviyelerinin serum TOS
ve süt SHS seviyelerini etkili bir şekilde düşürdüğü ve serum TAS seviyesini
arttırdığı görüldü. Ancak BBS ve KOB seviyelerine etki etmediği tespit edildi.
