Genetic selection for increased milk yield has been a key driver of dairy intensification. The modern dairy cow produces much higher amounts of milk than the cattle of several years ago, and this may have an influence on hematologic values at different stages of lactation and on cows with different levels of milk production. The purpose of the study was to investigate the variations in blood parameters such as Ht, tHb, sO, FOHb, FCOHb, FMetHb, FHHb, pH, pCO, pO, standard HCO-, actual HCO-, BE, BE ecf, ctCO, BO, p50, and ctO in cows at different milk production levels. In addition, ions such as Na+, K+ , Ca++, Ca++ (7.4), and Cl-, and AnGap and glucose were examined. Our findings indicated that differences in the examined blood parameters between low and high-production dairy cattle do exist. The most apparent differences were connected with blood pH (p < 0.01), oxygen metabolism (Ht, tHb, sO2, FO2Hb; p < 0.01), and glucose utilization (p < 0.01) The results confirm that the parameters connected with blood oxygen metabolism and glucose metabolism increase significantly in high-production animals. In conclusion, reference values should be considered in light of the lactation stage and level of milk production, because these might influence how changes should be interpreted. The main limitation of the study is the delay to analysis. However, the blood was properly stored (4C), thus changes were delayed. Anyway, it is very hard in the field practice to perform it within 5 min after the blood collection and according to studies it has low impact on clinical outcomes.
遗传选择以增加牛奶产量一直是奶牛养殖集约化的关键驱动力。现代奶牛的产奶量比几年前的牛高得多,这可能会影响不同泌乳阶段和不同产奶量奶牛的血液学值。本研究的目的是研究血液参数如 Ht、tHb、sO、FOHb、FCOHb、FMetHb、FHHb、pH、pCO、pO、标准 HCO-、实际 HCO-、BE、BEecf、ctCO、BO、p50 和 ctO 在不同产奶量水平的奶牛中的变化。此外,还检查了 Na+、K+、Ca++、Ca++(7.4)、Cl-、AnGap 和葡萄糖等离子。我们的研究结果表明,低产奶牛和高产奶牛之间的血液参数存在差异。最明显的差异与血液 pH(p < 0.01)、氧气代谢(Ht、tHb、sO2、FO2Hb;p < 0.01)和葡萄糖利用(p < 0.01)有关。结果证实,与血液氧气代谢和葡萄糖代谢相关的参数在高产动物中显著增加。总之,应该根据泌乳阶段和产奶量考虑参考值,因为这些因素可能会影响如何解释变化。本研究的主要局限性是分析延迟。然而,血液被妥善储存(4°C),因此变化被延迟。无论如何,在现场实践中,很难在采血后 5 分钟内完成分析,而且根据研究,这对临床结果的影响很小。
