Abstract

This research evaluated the blood and colostrum oxidative stress index (OSi) in newborn Holstein calves and its potential correlations with nutrient intake, growth performance, skeletal development, diarrhea, and pneumonia. Eighty-three neonatal Holstein calves were categorized based on their blood and consumed colostrum OSi levels. There were four treatment groups, i.e., 25 calves consumed low OSi colostrum that had low OSi in the blood taken 24-h after first meal consumption of colostrum (LL), 17 calves consumed low OSi colostrum that had high OSi in the blood (LH), 22 calves consumed high OSi colostrum that had low OSi in the blood (HL), and 19 calves consumed high OSi colostrum that had high OSi in the blood (HH). Upon categorization, the performance and health outcomes of the calves were thoroughly assessed. The results revealed no significant disparities among the treatment groups regarding nutrient intake and skeletal growth. Initial and final body weights, average daily gain (ADG), and feed efficiency had no observable differences. However, substantial differences were evident in the incidence of diarrhea (HH vs. LH, HL vs. LL, and LH vs. LL), pneumonia occurrence (HH vs. LH), and the number of days with body temperatures higher than 39.4 °C were similar across all groups. Moreover, a significant variation was noted in the duration of diarrhea, with the LL group experiencing more days under medication than the other treatment groups. Pronounced variations in calf health, particularly regarding diarrhea and pneumonia, suggesting a potential association between oxidative stress and specific health outcomes in newborn Holstein calves.

Abstract [Persian]

هدف از انجام این آزمایش، ارزیابی شاخص تنش اکسیداتیو در خون و آغوز مصرفی گوساله‌های تازه ‌متولد‌ شده هلشتاین و ارتباط این شاخص‌ها با خوراک مصرفی، عملکرد رشد، تکامل اسکلتی، بیماری‌های پنومونی و اسهال است. تعداد 83 رأس گوساله با میانگین وزنی 4±37 کیلو‌گرم) بر‌اساس شاخص تنش اکسیداتیو آغوز مصرفی و خون به 4 گروه، 25 گوساله شاخص تنش اکسیداتیو پایین‌تر از میانگین جمعیت در آغوز مصرفی و خون (LL)، 17 گوساله شاخص تنش اکسیداتیو پایین‌تر از میانگین جمعیت در آغوز مصرفی و بالاتر از میانگین جمعیت در خون (LH)، 22 گوساله شاخص تنش اکسیداتیو بالاتر از میانگین جمعیت در آغوز مصرفی و پایین‌تر از میانگین جمعیت در خون (HL) و 19 گوساله شاخص تنش اکسیداتیو بالاتر از میانگین جمعیت در آغوز مصرفی و خون (HH) تقسیم‌بندی شدند. پس از گروه‌بندی، عملکرد و سلامت گوساله‌ها ارزیابی شد. نتایج نشان دادند خوراک مصرفی و رشد اسکلتی، وزن اولیه و نهایی، میانگین افزایش وزن روزانه و کارایی مصرف خوراک در بین گروه‌ها تفاوت معنی‌داری نداشتند. اگر‌چه تفاوت‌های قابل ‌توجه‌ای در وقوع بیماری‌های نومونی و اسهال و طول دوره اسهال نیز مشاهده شد اما روز‌هایی که دمای راست روده گوساله‌ها به بالای 39 درجه سانتی‌گراد می‌رسید، در بین گروه‌ها یکسان بود. با توجه به این تغییرات در سلامت گوساله‌ها می‌توان نتیجه گرفت که بین تنش اکسیداتیو و سلامت گوساله‌های تازه‌ متولد ‌شده هلشتاین همبستگی وجود دارد.
