Overview

Assessment reveals associations between milk lactoferrin and metabolic profiles in Holstein cows, indicating metabolic compensation's role in postpartum health.

Key Points

  • The aim was to evaluate how metabolic profiles impact lactoferrin levels in milk during early lactation in Holstein cows.
  • Analyzed lactoferrin levels in milk from 122 Holstein cows in the first 20 days of lactation.
  • Categorized cows into LF-LOW and LF-HIGH groups based on lactoferrin content.
  • Measured serum indicators of energy and nitrogen metabolism, hepatic function, and milk composition.
  • LF-HIGH cows showed higher somatic cell counts and serum glucose, with lower triglycerides compared to LF-LOW cows.
  • LF-HIGH cows had a trend towards lower milk beta-hydroxybutyric acid content.
  • Enhanced natriuresis and a more negative urine acid-base balance were observed in LF-HIGH cows.
