چکیده

The effect of diet on concentrations of milk insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and their relationships with plasma IGF-I, and with somatic cell count (SCC) were evaluated in two trials. In Trial 1, 32 multi-parous Holstein cows at 4 to 5 wk of lactation received 4 different diets formulated to provide high (H) or low (L) dry matter intake (DMI) with H or L metabolisable energy (ME) density for 5 wk. Dietary treatment did not affect milk IGF-I concentrations, but concentrations were repeatable in individual cows. The intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.78 ± 0.05 and 0.73 ± 0.06 in a.m. and p.m. samples, respectively, when concentrations were measured for 7 consecutive days. The association between milk IGF-I and plasma IGF-I concentration was weaker (R2 = 0.140; P = 0.035) than the association between milk IGF-I concentrations and the natural logarithmic value (Ln) of SCC (R2 = 0.249; P = 0.004). The effects of body condition score (BCS) at calving and level of grain supplementation in early lactation on IGF-I concentrations in milk were evaluated in Trial 2 with 21 Holstein cows that grazed pasture. The BCS at calving did not affect milk IGF-I concentrations; neither did supplementation with 1 or 6 kg of grain. Milk and plasma concentrations of IGF-I were not associated (R2 = 0.002; P = 0.830), whereas the association between milk concentrations of IGF-I and Ln SCC was significant (R2= 0.342; P=0.005). Concentrations of IGF-I in milk were not a sensitive measure of dietary changes in lactating pasture-fed Holstein cows.

P-64: The Relationship between Polymorphism in Gene of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and The Serum Periparturient Concentration in Holstein Dairy Cows

Background: One of the most important metabolic factors affecting the reproductive activity is insulin-like growth factor-I (IGFI) concentration changes after calving. Recently, Maj et al. (2008) discovered a significant association between the IGF-I genotypes based on the 5'-untranslatedregion (5'-UTR) of IGF-I gene and the IGF-I blood level. The objective of this study is to investi...

Circulating metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing Holstein dairy cows

Background: Information regarding the metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing dairy cows can aid high producing herds to manage and resolve the metabolic and production problems. Furthermore, it can be considered as a tool to evaluate metabolic status of dairy cows. Herd managers can also evaluate the energy input-output relationships by assessing the metabolic profil...

Study on serum glucose, insulin, NEFA, BHBA and lipid profile in different productive status of high producing Holstein dairy cows

Background: Metabolic profiles have been used in efforts to predict pre parturient problems and fertility, to diagnose metabolic diseases, and to assess nutritional status in dairy cows. These profiles may help to confirm the diagnosis of sub clinical diseases, to be aware of possible causes of infertility in the herds, or to monitor improvement in herd animals. OBJECTIVES: This study investiga...

Effect of protected-glutamine supplementation on performance, milk composition and some blood metabolites in fresh Holstein cows

The present study was conducted to study the effect of protected-glutamine (Gln) supplementation on dry matter intake (DMI), milk yield (MY) and composition, somatic cell counts (SCC) and blood parameters in fresh cows. Forty Holstein cows at zero day of parturition (calving day = day 0) were divided into four groups (n=10), and fed (ad libitum) with one of the diets including: basal d...
