The negative energy balance occurring in the periparturient period of cows will impede their health and postpartum performance. To target this issue, L-tryptophan was supplied to the prepartum cows. The results showed that L-tryptophan supplementation significantly increased the serum melatonin level and was accompanied with increases in SOD activity, IL-10 and colostrum IgA levels as well as decreases in MDA and IL-6 levels compared to the control cows. The incidence of postpartum diseases was significantly lower and the pregnancy rate was significantly higher in cows fed L-tryptophan than in the control group. A striking observation was that prepartum L-tryptophan supplementation not only improved the milk production but also the quality compared to the control cows. In general, supplementation with L-tryptophan in the prepartum period can improve the postpartum reproduction and lactation performance of cows to some extent.
奶牛围产期出现的负能量平衡会妨碍其健康和产后性能。为解决这一问题,向产前奶牛补充了L-色氨酸。结果表明,与对照奶牛相比,补充L-色氨酸显著提高了血清褪黑素水平,同时超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、白细胞介素-10(IL-10)和初乳免疫球蛋白A(IgA)水平升高,丙二醛(MDA)和白细胞介素-6(IL-6)水平降低。与对照组相比,补充L-色氨酸的奶牛产后疾病发病率显著降低,妊娠率显著提高。一个显著的发现是,与对照奶牛相比,产前补充L-色氨酸不仅提高了产奶量,还提高了牛奶质量。总体而言,产前补充L-色氨酸可在一定程度上改善奶牛的产后繁殖和泌乳性能。
