Dietary tannin supplementation represents a potential strategy to modulate rumen fermentation and enhance lactation performance in dairy cows, though responses remain inconsistent. A 21-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of chestnut tannin (CNT) extract on the enteric methane emissions (EME), blood metabolites, and milk production traits in mid-lactation dairy cows. Thirty-six Holstein cows were allocated to three homogeneous treatment groups: control (CNT, 0 g/d CNT), CNT (40 g/d CNT), and CNT (80 g/d CNT). Measurements of EME, dry matter intake (DMI), milk yield (MY), and blood and milk parameters were carried out pre- and post-21-day supplementation period. Compared with the no-additive group, the CNT extract reduced methane production, methane yield, and methane intensity in CNT and CNT ( < 0.001). CNT and CNT cows exhibited lower blood urea nitrogen ( = 0.019 and = 0.002) and elevated serum insulin ( = 0.003 and < 0.001) and growth hormone concentrations ( = 0.046 and = 0.034), coinciding with reduced aspartate aminotransferase ( = 0.016 and = 0.045), and lactate dehydrogenase ( 0.011 and 0.008) activities compared to control. However, CNT had higher circulating NEFA and BHBA than CNT ( = 0.003 and = 0.004) and CNT ( = 0.035 and = 0.019). The blood glucose, albumin, and total bilirubin concentrations were not affected. MY and fat- and protein-corrected milk (FPCM), MY/DMI, and FPCM/DMI were higher in both CNT ( = 0.004, = 0.003, = 0.014, = 0.010) and CNT ( = 0.002, = 0.003, = 0.008, = 0.013) cows compared with controls. Feeding CNT resulted in higher protein content ( = 0.015) but lower fat percentage in milk ( = 0.004) compared to CNT. Milk urea nitrogen and somatic cell counts were significantly lower in both CNT ( < 0.001, = 0.009) and CNT ( < 0.001 for both) compared to CNT, while milk lactose did not differ between treatments. These findings demonstrate that chestnut tannin extract effectively mitigates EME while enhancing lactation performance in mid-lactation dairy cows.
补充膳食单宁是调节奶牛瘤胃发酵和提高泌乳性能的一种潜在策略,不过反应仍不一致。进行了一项为期21天的饲养试验,以评估栗木单宁(CNT)提取物对泌乳中期奶牛的肠道甲烷排放(EME)、血液代谢物和产奶性状的影响。将36头荷斯坦奶牛分配到三个同质处理组:对照组(CNT,0克/天CNT)、CNT组(40克/天CNT)和CNT组(80克/天CNT)。在21天补充期前后进行了EME、干物质摄入量(DMI)、产奶量(MY)以及血液和牛奶参数的测量。与无添加剂组相比,CNT提取物降低了CNT组和CNT组的甲烷产量、甲烷产率和甲烷强度(P<0.001)。CNT组和CNT组奶牛的血尿素氮较低(P = 0.019和P = 0.002),血清胰岛素升高(P = 0.003和P<0.001)以及生长激素浓度升高(P = 0.046和P = 0.034),同时与对照组相比,天冬氨酸转氨酶(P = 0.016和P = 0.045)以及乳酸脱氢酶活性降低(P = 0.011和P = 0.008)。然而,CNT组的循环非酯化脂肪酸(NEFA)和β-羟基丁酸(BHBA)高于CNT组(P = 0.003和P = 0.004)和CNT组(P = 0.035和P = 0.019)。血糖、白蛋白和总胆红素浓度不受影响。CNT组和CNT组奶牛的MY以及脂肪和蛋白质校正乳(FPCM)、MY/DMI和FPCM/DMI均高于对照组(P = 0.004、P = 0.003、P = 0.014、P = 0.010)和(P = 0.002、P = 0.003、P = 0.008、P = 0.013)。与CNT组相比,饲喂CNT导致牛奶中蛋白质含量较高(P = 0.015)但脂肪百分比较低(P = 0.004)。与CNT组相比,CNT组和CNT组的牛奶尿素氮和体细胞数均显著较低(P<0.001,P = 0.009),而各处理之间的牛奶乳糖无差异。这些发现表明,栗木单宁提取物可有效减轻EME,同时提高泌乳中期奶牛的泌乳性能。
