Strain on the Liver
使肝脏受到巨大压力
• The liver weighs 20 lb and can
accumulate over 1 lb of fat by
the day after calving (Drackley, 2001).
• 肝脏重约 20 磅,产后
能够累积 1 磅的脂肪。
• One point of BCS loss will
deliver ~10-12 lb of fat to the
liver!
• 体况每下降 1 个点,将
有 10-12 磅的脂肪运
输到肝脏。

Feeding 产后奶牛的蛋白饲喂方案
• Need for AA/MP/CP is high due to lactation
• 由于泌乳,对氨基酸 / 可代谢蛋白 / 粗蛋
白需求很高
• Consider feeding rumen protected AA to reduce
CP/RUP/MP and create space for energy.
• 可以考虑使用保护性氨基酸,以减少粗蛋
白 / 瘤胃未降解蛋白 / 可代谢蛋白在日粮
中的用量,这样可节省空间,用于提供更

Postpartum Transition Cow Management
产后奶牛的蛋白饲喂方案
Proudfoot et al., JDS. 2012
– Unable to determine when the best time to move a cow
before calving, but it is clear that moving cows to
individual pens during labor resulted in longer labor
probably due to less time lying down.
由于不能准 何 将待 牛搬入 房确预测 时 产奶 产
是最佳的。但是若在 ,将牛搬 到 独产犊时 迁 单

Summary 小结
• 25-50% of cows leave the herd within the first 60 DIM.
• 约有 25--50% 的奶牛是在产后 60 天内被淘汰的。
• Management of fat mobilization at the liver are key to a successful
transition program.
• 管控肝脏脂肪的代谢,是围产期管理成功的重要因素。
• Cows are clearly deficient in choline as evidenced by the increase
in liver fat and the ability of supplemental choline to moderate
the increase!
• 很明显奶牛缺乏胆碱会增加脂肪的发生,补充有效胆碱可以减轻症
状。
• Consider feeding RPAA to offset MP deficiency in early lacatation.
• 在泌乳早期,可考虑添加过瘤胃保护氨基酸( RPAA )弥补可代谢
蛋白质( MP )的不足。
• Don’t forget about cow comfort
• 千万不要忘了奶牛舒适度。

Editor's Notes

  1. Due to better genetics, nutrition, management, and health
  2. Typical transition cows have a difficult time meeting the energy challenge. It will not get any easier going into the future!
  3. A recent presentation by Dr. Garry (CSU) suggests 50% of deaths first 60 days and 25% first 15 days
  4. And to remember the major challenge for her is to meet the glucose demands that are dramatically being placed on her at the time of parturition …in fact you can see that her demands actually escalate 2and a half fold more from pre to post partum. 2.5x increase Prior to calving – glucose supplies (splanchnic – primarily from propionic) can meet glucose demand 1000-1100 g/d last 21 days of gestation After calving – glucose demand exceeds glucose supply - at 21 d post calving estimated to be 2500 g/d (has to be met via gluconeogenesis – from intestinally absorbed aa and from endogenous substances: aa (ala, glu) and other gluconeogenic aa , lactate, glycerol) {insulin declines- signals liver to increase gluconeogenesis} So there is a deficit of glucose in today’s high producing dairy cow This glucose deficit signals the adipose tissue that energy thereby decreasing lipogenesis and an increase in lipolysis is needed to mobilize – NEFA are released Liver metabolism of glucose and fat are closely linked - as is metabolism of aa, This deficit limits cow performance – milk and fertility …….it must be supplied from gluconeogenesis by the liver The liver has to step up its production of glucose Overton, 2002 Notice how this also mirrors the negative energy balance slide shown earlier
  5. Generalized metabolic responses to negative energy (nutrient) balance Mobilize body fat and replace oxidative glucose use with NEFA and ketone bodies where possible. Increase hepatic gluconeogenesis from propionate (limited by DMI) and amino acids. Mobilize amino acids from body protein (muscle) for glucose and milk protein.
  6. When do cows reach positive EB - Grummer and Rastani, 2003: Literature Survey- 20 studies, 52 treatments Mean = 45 d Range = 7 to 105 d
  7. Ketosis NEFA ↑ at calving which can lead to calving Liver Fat may accumulate at NEFA concentrations above 400 uM. Fatty liver appears to predisposes the cow to additional metabolic problems Impaired glucose synthesis (Mills et al., JDS 69:362, 1986) Ketosis Seems to be a 1-3 week delay in the occurence of clinical ketosis after fat accumulation has occured Energy requirements of the liver after calving are greater therefore less fat appears to accumulate at the same NEFA concentration After calving, the liver is growing, therefore, some additional fat accumulation may not be as detrimental (Gibb et al.) Cows with lower Energy intakes (more negative energy balance) have higher NEFA concentrations prepartum Prepartum diets with varying energy and protein density were fed to 40 Holstein cows and 40 Holstein heifers (only energy effects shown) Close-up dry diets fed free-choice for 3 wks Treatments were Energy DietMcal ME/lbProtein, % Low 1.0 12 Medium 1.13 14 or 16 High 1.22 16
  8. The other major factor affecting how much NEFA is taken up by the liver is the amount of blood that flows to the liver. Blood flow increases two-fold as the cow transitions from the dry period to lactation.
  9. Since NEFA concentration increases and blood flow increases, NEFA uptake by the liver increases. Here you can see about a 13 fold increase in NEFA uptake on the day of calving!!!!! Again, this increase occurs in ALL COWS (granted there is biological variation among cows, therefore, the magnitude of increase is variable).
  10. As a consequence of the dramatic increase in NEFA uptake by the liver, there is fat (triglyceride) deposition in the liver. Note that the rate of fat accumulation is greatest during peak NEFA. Fat accumulation can continue to increase after calving due to negative energy balance and continued elevation of NEFA. The biology discussed in the last few slides describes the NORMAL BIOLOGY of transition dairy cows and is not restricted to “problem cows”
  11. Jim Drackley (Univ. Illinois) calculated that the liver can accumulate 1 lb of fat during the surge in NEFA at calving. The typical liver weighs 20 lbs, so that means liver fat content increases approximately 5% just due to the natural calving process. As a bench mark, cows whose livers contain 5-10% fat are considered to have “moderate” fatty liver. If a cow experiences 1 BCS loss, 10-12 lbs of fat will be delivered to the liver. Not all of this fat will be stored. Some will be oxidized, some will be converted to ketones, some will be exported as part of a low density lipoprotein. Nevertheless, this points out the continued potential for additional fat deposition in the liver.
  12. Slide contains information from the Bobe et al. Iowa State University review. There is abundant data to suggest a negative relationship between fat in the liver and reproduction. Therefore, it is logical to hypothesize that reducing fat in the liver would lead to improvements in reproduction.
  13. Healthy cows had increased DMI over those cows that were sick from 2-14 pounds (1-7 kg) of dry matter intake difference depending on the day.
  14. Healthy cows produced 10-20 pounds more milk than sick cows over the first 20 DIM Healthy cows produced 5-10 kg more milk than sick cows over the first 20 DIM
  15. Healthy cows had a 305 projected ME that was 1000 pounds more than that of sick cows. Healthy cows had a 305 projected ME that was 450 kg more than that of sick cows.
  16. There are a total of 13 transition cow studies in which rumen-protected choline was fed. ReaShure was fed in 7 of them.
  17. Studies highlighted in gray are ones that I have manuscripts for, but have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
  18. Although there was no significant effect of milk components, there were slight increases which led to the ECM yield response being slightly greater than the milk yield response.
  19. The consistency of a response provides evidence that choline may be a limiting nutrient for transition cows.
  20. When all health orders were combined, there was a reduction due to ReaShure. Hepatic lipidosis (HL) was determined on a subset of cows and defined as 5% fat or more in the liver. Note the dramatic reduction in the prevalence of HL.
  21. Cole et al., (Biochim Biophys Acta, online prepublication) reviews the essentiality of choline for PC synthesis and VLDL export
  22. Substantial evidence indicates that feeding ReaShure affects transition cows at the “whole animal” level, i.e., milk production, health, and reproduction (Oelrichs et al., 2004; Grummer, 2012; Lima et al., 2012). Additionally, previous research indicates that feeding ReaShure affects transition cows at the “organ” level, i.e., reduces liver fat during the transition period and negative energy balance (Cooke et al., 2007; Zom et al., 2011). The current study from Wageningen UR Livestock Research provides the first evidence that feeding ReaShure affects transition cows at the “molecular level”. The effects observed at the molecular level are very consistent with previous observations at the organ or whole animal level. Choline-enhanced expression of genes involved in VLDL assembly and secretion correlates with lower liver TG content; alteration of genes involved with carbohydrate metabolism correlates with higher liver glycogen content and enhanced milk production..
  23. Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) is required for assembly of VLDL in the liver. Feeding ReaShure during the transition period increased its gene expression which provides direct evidence that supplemental choline enhances fat export out of the liver.
  24. Liu et al., 2014 Content of VLDL in NEFA-treated hepatocytes was significantly decreased.
  25. Positive is &amp;gt; 1.2 mmol
  26. Recent work out of Denmark provided additional MP by postruminal infusion of casein during the first 4 weeks of lactation. Casein represented ideal AA profile
  27. increased milk production by 7.5 kg /day(16 lb). In this study cows did not respond by increasing intake, instead FA mobilization was increased. Feeding RPAA may be a strategy to help meet AA requirements and create more space in ration for energy

  30. Note that cows that calved in Sept were also already below expected production on their first test which more strongly suggests that heat stress during the dry period caused some carryover into lactation. Courtesy of Land O’Lakes
  31. This means we want her lying down unless eating, drinking, or milking. There are postural effects on mammary blood flow, and cows have improved mammary gland perfusion when they are lying down vs. standing. Cows had about 25% greater blood flow to the mammary gland when lying down relative to standing. This suggests that from a management perspective, we want to maximize the amount of time cows spend lying down to optimize milk yield.
