Investigating plasma circulating miRNA in dairy cows receiving essential fatty acids and/or conjugated linoleic acid during the transition to lactation

ABSTRACT: The current study was designed to investigate the circulating miRNA expression signature of dairy cows during several key time points around calving, and under different fatty acids (FA) treatments to get insights into different aspects of metabolic adaptations and their interaction with administrated FA. In this trial, 32 transition Holstein dairy cows were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: 1-CTRL (n = 8; coconut oil, Bio-Kokosöl #665, Kräuterhaus Sanct Bernhard, KG, Bad Ditzenbach, Germany; 38 and 76 g/d in antepartum (AP) and postpartum (PP)), 2- Essential fatty acids (EFA, n=8, a combination of linseed oil (DERBY® Leinöl #4026921003087, DERBY Spezialfutter GmbH, Münster, Germany; 39 and 78 g/d in AP and PP) and safflower oil (GEFRO Distelöl, GEFRO Reformversand Fro
