Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of selenium (Se) and vitamin E supplementation on morbidity of recessive mastitis in buffalo. Seventy lactating buffalo were randomly divided into two groups with 35 heads in each group by parity, lactation stage, milk yield and body weight, the buffalo were fed a basal diet provided 2.0 mg/d Se and 120 IU/d vitamin E, and those in experimental group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 1.6 mg/d Se and 200 IU/d vitamin E. The experiment lasted for 107 days, and the first 7 days was the pre-experimental period. The morbidity of recessive mammitis, contents of Se and vitamin E and glutathione peroxidase activity in plasma were regularly monitored. The results showed as follows: compared with the control group, morbidity of milk area recessive mastitis in experimental group was reduced by 34.06% and 43.11% after 60 and 90 days, respectively, but the difference of morbidity in individuals and milk area between two groups was not significant (P>0.05); contents of Se and vitamin E in plasma were significantly increased in experimental group during experimental period (P<0.05), and the same as the activity of glutathione peroxidase in plasma after 60 days. The results indicate that compared with feeding the basal diet containing 2.0 mg/d Se and 120 IU/d vitamin E, the supplementation of 1.6 mg/d Se and 200 IU/d vitamin E in the basal diet of lactating buffalo significantly increases contents of Se and vitamin E and glutathione peroxidase activity in plasma, and can slightly reduce recessive mastitis morbidity in buffalo.
