This study evaluated how feeding colostrum- or a colostrum-milk mixture for 3 d postnatal affects plasma glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and small intestinal histomorphology in calves. Holstein bulls (n = 24) were fed colostrum at 2 h randomly assigned to receive either (COL), whole milk (WM), 1:1 COL:WM (MIX) every 12 from 72 h. A jugular venous catheter was placed 1 sample blood frequently the duration of experiment. Samples collected 1, 2, 3,...
ABSTRACT This study evaluated carcass weight and physicochemical properties of loin leg meat parts Saanen castrated goats ( n = 4) reared by grazing for 5 months in an abandoned rice field with concentrate supplements, comparing confined feeding grass silage concentrate. Carcass part weights the group were lower p < 0.01) than group. Shear force cooking loss showed no differences between groups. For color, L* value tended to be 0.15) compared Moisture content higher, but fat Carnosine...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects physiologic levels ghrelin on insulin secretion and sensitivity (glucose disposal) in scheduled fed-sheep, using hyperglycemic clamp hyperinsulinemic euglycemic respectively. Twelve castrated Suffolk rams (69.8 ± 0.6 kg) were conditioned be fed alfalfa hay cubes (2% body weight) once a day. Three hours after feeding, synthetic ovine intravenously administered animals at rate 0.025 0.05 μg/kg weight (BW) per min for 3 h. Concomitantly,...
The present study was conducted to examine whether colostrum supplementation in peripartum goats increases the antimicrobial peptides their milk. Goats were orally administered 2 ml of whey products (colostrum group) or water (control daily, from weeks before until after kidding. Body weights mothers and kids measured. Blood, milk, fecal samples collected mothers, blood kids. Concentrations milk (beta-defensin, cathelicidin, lactoferrin, S100A7, lactoperoxidase, immunoglobulin A [IgA])...
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of triglycerides containing medium-chain fatty acids (MCT) and tributyrin (TB) supplementation in a milk replacer (MR) on growth performance, plasma metabolites, hormone concentrations dairy calves. Sixty-three Holstein heifer calves (body weight at 8 d age, 41.1 ± 2.91 kg; mean SD) were randomly assigned 1 4 experimental MR (28% crude protein 18% fat): (1) 3.2% C8:0 2.8% C10:0 (in fat basis) without TB (CONT; n = 15), (2) 6.7% 6.4% (MCT; 16), (3)...
Effects of exposure to hot environment on urea metabolism were studied in lactating Holstein cows. Four cows fed ad libitum a total mixed ration and housed temperature-controlled chamber at constant moderate (18°C) or high (28°C) ambient temperatures cross-over design. Urea nitrogen (N) kinetics was measured by determining isotopomer urine after single injection [(15) N(2) ]urea into the jugular vein. Both dry matter intake milk yield decreased under temperature. Intakes N digestible...
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application and harvesting stage on contents chlorophyll, phytol carotenoids (β‐carotene lutein) in Italian ryegrass herbage before after ensiling, extent preservation ensiling. Three rates N (0, 60 120 kg N/ha) were applied by top‐dressing as an additional fertilizer. The harvested at booting (27 weeks age) or heading (29 wilted for 1 day, then ensiled days using a small‐scale pouch system. In pre‐ensiled...
The present study aimed to determine the effects of differing nutrient levels during far-off period on postpartum metabolism and milk production in lactating cows. Twenty-six multiparous cows were assigned three dietary treatments period: a low-energy diet (L, n = 9, 80% intake total digestible nutrients requirement), moderate-energy (M, 8, 105%) high-energy (H, 130%). During close-up period, all provided with 105% intake. After parturition, fed lactation diet. BCS recovery was slow, low...
