effect of dietary cation-anion difference on acid- base balance, calcium homeostasis and performance of holstein dairy cows
نویسندگان
چکیده
this study was conducted on 24 holstein cows in close-up period, in a split-plot in time design, with a 2×2 factoriel arrangement and in a completely randomized framework to evaluate the effect of pre and postpartum dietary cation-anion differences (dcad) on homeostasis of calcium, acid-base balance and the subsequent lactation performance. the first factor was prepartum dcad for which the animals were randomly divided into two groups (12 cows each) one of them fed with a diet of -100 meq/kg of dm and the other fed with a diet of +100 meq/kg of dm. the second factor was postpartum dcad. following parturition the anionic group was divided into two groups of 6 cows, one group receiving a diet of +200 meq/kg dm dcad and the other +400 meq/kg of dm dcad. same division was made for the cationic group. the experiment was continued till 63 d in milk. to reduce dcad, anionic salt and to increase it sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate were added. prepartum reduction of dcad and postpartum increase of dcad resulted in decrease in urine and blood ph and increase in urine and blood ph (p

Effects of dietary cation-anion difference on milk fever, subclinical hypocal- cemia and negative energy balance in transition dairy cows
Objective of this study was to determine the effects of varying dietary cation-anion differences (DCAD) in prepartum period on milk fever, subclinical hypocalcemia and negative energy balance in dairy cows of Urmia, Iran. Ninety nine Holstein cows assigned to three groups (n=33) were fed diets with DCAD of -24 (anionic), +80 (cationic) and +230 (cationic) mEq/Kg dry matter for 3 weeks before ex...
متن کاملEffect of Cation-Anion Difference on Measures of Acid-Base Physiology and Performance in Beef Cattle
In Florida, the dietary cation-anion balance (DCAD) characteristic of bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) can be highly variable. This is a result of fluctuations in all four elements making up the core DCAD equation, Na, K, Cl, and S. Bahiagrass receiving annual contributions of S from ammonium sulfate fertilizer can accumulate high levels of S. In a previous study (Arthington et al. 2002), bahiagra...
متن کاملEffect of dietary cation-anion difference on measures of acid-base physiology and performance in beef cattle.
Dietary constituents can affect cow acid-base physiology and uterine pH. Dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) has been shown to affect cow acid-base physiology, but the effect on uterine pH has not been demonstrated. The objective of this work was to determine if DCAD [(Na + K + 0.15Ca + 0.15Mg) - (Cl + 0.60S + 0.50P)] could affect cow DMI, acid-base physiology, and uterine pH, and second, to...
متن کاملA Dairy Herd Case Investigation with Very Low Dietary Cation–Anion Difference in Prepartum Dairy Cows
During the periparturient period, subclinical hypocalcemia (total plasma Ca concentration <2.0 mmol/l) is a potential problem for the dairy cow; consequently, its prevention is essential for success of fertility and productive performance. Dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) has been defined as the difference in milliequivalents of cations (Na, K) and anions (Cl, S) per kilogram of dry matte...
