This study applied a quantitative proteomics approach along with bioinformatics analyses to investigate changes in the plasma proteome of normal and overconditioned dairy cows during the transition period. Fifteen weeks before their anticipated calving date, 38 multiparous Holstein cows were selected based on their current and previous body condition scores (BCS) and allocated to either a high or a normal BCS group (19 cows each). They received different diets until dry-off to reach targeted dif ...[more]

Project description:Cows were selected from two groups of 12 cows enrolled in a large experiment to assess the effects of ad libitum or restricted intake of moderate-energy diets during the entire dry period on pre-partum metabolism and post-partum metabolism and performance. A corn silage-based diet (26% of diet dry matter) providing 1.59 Mcal/kg during the far-off dry period (first 5 wk of an 8-wk dry period) or providing 1.61 Mcal/kg during the close-up dry period (last 3 wk of the dry period) was fed for ad libitum or restricted intake. Four multiparous Holstein cows were randomly selected from the ad libitum and restricted intake groups. Keywords: time course, ad libitum or restricted feeding prepartum

Project description:The ruminant liver has multiple roles in the dairy cow and many of these are crucial in nutrient supply during lactation. Reduced feed intake alters the expression of many genes and pathways in the liver, inducing a period of negative energy balance. Once-daily milking is a management strategy to reduce the effects of periods of negative energy balance so the objective of this study was to determine if once-daily milking altered hepatic gene transcription during a period of negative energy balance induce by caloric restriction. Multiparous Holstein-Friesian and Holstein-Friesian x Jersey cows (n = 120) were grazed on pasture and milked twice daily (2X) from calving until 34 ± 6 days in milk (mean ± standard deviation). Cows were then allocated to one of four treatments in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement. Treatments consisted of two milking frequencies (2X or once daily; 1X) and two feeding levels for three weeks: adequately fed (AF), consuming 14.3 kg dry matter intake/cow per d, or underfed (UF) consuming 8.3 kg dry matter intake /cow per d. After the treatment period, all cows were fed to target grazing residuals ? 1600 kg DM/cow per d and milked 2X for 20 wk. Liver tissue was collected from 12 cows per treatment by subcutaneous biopsy at 3 wk relative to treatment start, RNA extracted and transcript abundance of genes quantified.

A reference design was used for hybridisation, whereby each of the 46 samples were hybridised to individual microarrays along with a pooled reference sample. The reference sample was generated by taking equal concentrations of each of the experimental samples.

Project description:While dietary phosphorus (P) deprivation extending from the dry period into early lactation impairs health and productivity of cows, restricting dietary P supply during the dry period not only appears to be innocuous but rather effectively mitigates hypocalcemia during the first wk of lactation. To investigate possible negative metabolic effects of P deprivation during the dry period, the present study tested the hypothesis that restarted dietary P supply during the dry period alters the liver transcriptome of dairy cows during the periparturient period. Thirty late-pregnant multiparous Holstein-Friesian dairy cows entering their 2nd, 3rd or 4th lactation were assigned to either a dry cow ration with low (LP, 0.16% P in DM) or adequate P content (AP, 0.35% in DM) during the last 4 wk of the dry period (n = 15/group). Liver transcriptomics, which was carried out in a subset of five 2nd parity cows of each group (n = 5), and determination of selected hormones and metabolites in blood of all cows, was performed approximately one wk before calving and on d 3 postpartum. Liver tissue specimens and blood samples were obtained by a micro-invasive biopsy technique from the right 10th intercostal space and puncture of a jugular vein, respectively. 175 hepatic transcripts were expressed differentially between LP vs. AP cows in late pregnancy, and 165 transcripts differed between LP vs. AP cows in early lactation (Fold change > 1.3 and < -1.3, P < 0.05). In late pregnancy, the enriched biological processes of the up-regulated and the down-regulated transcripts were mainly related to immune processes and signal transduction (P < 0.05), respectively. In early lactation, the enriched biological processes of the up-regulated and the down-regulated transcripts were involved in mineral transport and biotransformation (P < 0.05), respectively. The plasma concentrations of the hormones and acute phase proteins (progesterone, insulin-like growth factor 1, serum amyloid alpha, haptoglobin, and 17β-estradiol) determined were not affected by P supply. These results suggest that P deprivation during the dry period moderately affects the liver transcriptome of cows in late pregnancy and early lactation, and causes no effects on important plasma hormones and acute phase proteins indicating no obvious impairment of health or metabolism of the cows.

Project description:The fertility of dairy cows is challenged during early lactation and better nutritional strategies need to be developed to address this issue. Combined supplementation of folic acid and vitamin B12 improves energy metabolism in the dairy cow during early lactation. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to explore the effects of this supplement on gene expression in granulosa cells from the dominant follicle during the postpartum period. Multiparous Holstein cows received weekly intramuscular injection of 320 mg folic acid and 10 mg vitamin B12 (treated group) beginning 24 (SD 4) d before calving until 56 d after calving, whereas the control group received saline. The urea plasma concentration was significantly decreased during the pre-calving period, and the concentration of both folate and vitamin B12 were increased in treated animals. Milk production and dry matter intake were not significantly different between the two groups. Plasma concentrations of folates and vitamin B12 were increased in vitamin-treated animals. Daily dry matter intake was not significantly different between the 2 groups before (13.5 kg SE 0.5) and after (23.6 kg SE 0.9) calving. Average energy-corrected milk tended to be greater in vitamin-treated cows, 39.7 (SE 1.4) and 38.1 (SE 1.3) kg/d for treated and control cows, respectively. After calving, average plasma concentration of BHBA tended to be lower in cows injected with the vitamin supplement, 0.47 (SE 0.04) vs. 0.55 (SE 0.03) for treated and control cows, respectively. The ovarian follicle ? 12 mm in diameter was collected by ovarian pick-up after estrus synchronization. Recovered follicular fluid volumes were greater in the vitamin-treated group. A microarray platform was used to investigate the impact of treatment on gene expression of granulosa cells. Lower expression of genes involved in the cell cycle and higher expression of genes associated with granulosa cell differentiation prior to ovulation were observed. Selected candidate genes were analyzed by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Although the effects of intramuscular injections of folic acid and vitamin B12 on lactational performance and metabolic status of animals were limited, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis of gene expression in granulosa cells suggests a stimulation of cell differentiation in vitamin-treated cows, which may be the result of an increase in LH secretion. Two conditions experiment (Control and Treated). Granulosa cells from the 66h post second PGF2alpha injection. Biological replicates: 3 from each time point. Two technical replicates for each comparison (dye-swap).

Project description:The aim of this study was to determine the effects of linseed dietary supplementation on gene expression in the mammary gland of grazing dairy cows. Milk composition and gene expression in the mammary gland tissue were evaluated in dairy cows supplemented with linseed. The linseed supplementation improves the health and nutrition quality aspects of dairy milk, but also affects the gene networks expression signature associated with cellular growth and proliferation, cell-death, signalling, nutrient metabolism, and immune response, and in turn, the mammary gland integrity and health. The experiment was carried out in a complete randomized blocked designed structure comprising 14 Holstein-Friesian cows (6 second parity, 2 third parity and 6 older cows), selected from a 550-cow herd. Cows were paired in 7 blocks on the basis of similarity in parity (second parity, third parity and older cows), expected date of calving, and milk performance in the previous lactation (in order of priority). Cows within each block were randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups, “Omega” or “Control”. The dietary Omega treatment consisted of a basal diet supplemented with a concentrate-mixture including linseed on a dry matter (DM) basis, whereas cows in treatment group Control were supplemented with a concentrate mixture without linseed. Linseed was chosen because it is rich in c9,c12,c15-18:3 (ALA). Concentrate mixtures were fed with a concentrate dispenser. Experimental treatments started 3 weeks before the expected calving date (wk -3) and lasted until 6 weeks after calving (wk 6).

Project description:Glyphosate (GLY) is one of the most used active substances in broad-band herbicides worldwide. Although farm animals might be orally exposed to this herbicide via GLY contaminated feedstuffs, not much is known about possible hepatotoxic effects of GLY. As hepatic xenobiotic and nutrient metabolism are closely interlinked, the toxic effects of GLY residues might be influenced by nutrient supply to the liver. Therefore, a feeding trial with lactating dairy cows was conducted to investigate effects of GLY contaminated feedstuffs and different concentrate feed proportions (CFP) in the diets as a tool for varying nutrient supply to the liver. Therefore, 61 German Holstein cows (207 ± 49 days in milk; mean ± standard deviation) were either fed a GLY contaminated total mixed ration (TMR, GLY, average mean GLY intake 122.7 µg/kg bodyweight/day) or control TMR (CON, average mean GLY intake 1.2 µg/kg bodyweight/day) for 16 weeks. Additionally, both groups were further split into subgroups fed a lower (LC, 30% on dry matter basis) or a higher (HC, 60% on dry matter basis) CFP. Blood parameters aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase, glutamate dehydrogenase, cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein, calcium, phosphorus, acetic acid and urea as well as histopathological evaluation were not influenced by GLY, whereas all mentioned parameters were at least affected by time, CFP or by an interactive manner between time and CFP. Total bilirubin blood concentration was significantly influenced by an interaction between GLY and CFP with temporarily elevated concentrations in GLYHC, whereas the reasons and biological relevance remain unclear. Gene expression analysis indicated 167 CFP-responsive genes, while seven genes showed altered expression in GLY groups compared to CON groups. Since expression changes of GLY-responsive genes were low and liver-related blood parameters changed either not at all or only slightly, the tested GLY formulation was considered to have no toxic effects on the liver of dairy cows.

Four multiparous Holstein cows were randomly selected from the ad libitum and restricted intake groups. A 7,872-element cDNA microarray spotted in duplicate on amino silane-coated glass slides (Everts et al. 2005, Vet. Immunol. Immunopathol. 105:235-245) was used for transcript profiling. Annotation was based on similarity searches (January, 2005) using sequential BLASTN and TBLASTX against human and mouse UniGene databases and the human genome. The 7,872-element array represents more than 6,300 unique genes. Gene Ontology (GO) terms were parsed from LocusLink to functionally annotate cDNA sequences. RNA (20 ug) from liver tissue and a reference standard derived from a mixture of tissues not including liver were used to make aminoallyl-labeled cDNA followed by incorporation of Cy3-ester and Cy5-ester (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ). Each experimental sample was co-hybridized with the reference standard, which allowed the treatment of fluorescence ratios as measurements of relative expression across all samples and time points. Probes were hybridized to the array for 2 days at 42 C. All samples were hybridized to duplicate slides for a total of 4 spots per cDNA element. A total of 106 microarrays were run to complete the experiment. Slides were scanned for both dye channels with a Scanarray 4000 (GSI-Lumonics, Billerica, MA) dual-laser confocal scanner and images were processed using GenePix 4.0 (Axon Instruments, Inc., CA).
