Abstract

The trial aimed to study the effects of dietary cation-anion balance (DCAB) on mineral metabolism of dairy cows in the condition of heat stress. A total of 75 healthy middle lactation [day in milk was (104.8±12.0) d] China Holstein cows were used in a randomized complete block design and divided into five groups with similar parity, milk yield and weight, i.e. groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and control. The DCAB value in each group was adjusted by providing with different level cation-anion salt. The DCAB values of those groups were 195.76, 186.68, 177.77, 166.94 and 239.12 mEq/kg DM, respectively. The total duration of the experiment was 67 days, the first 7 days of the experiment was the preliminary period and the formal experiment lasted for 60 days. The results showed as follows: the temperature humidity index exceeded 72, and the dairy cows were in heat stress. The rectal temperature of dairy cows in control group was the highest, that in group Ⅰ was minimum. The breathing rate was increased with DCAB value increase, but no significant difference was observed among groups (P>0.05). The concentrations of K, Ca, Mg, P in milk were not significantly affected by the DCAB value (P>0.05). Compared with the groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ, the concentration of Na in milk in the groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and control was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the concentration of Cl was significantly lower (P<0.05). The effects of DCAB value on the concentrations of K, Mg, P, and Na in serum were not significant difference (P>0.05), the concentration of Ca in serum was decreased with DCAB value increase, while the concentration of Cl had a upward trend. The concentrations of K, Ca, Na, and Mg in urine were not significantly affected by DCAB value (P>0.05), compared with the control group, the concentration of Cl in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly increased by 33.826% and 35.598% (P<0.05), and that in groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ was significantly increased by 95.421% and 76.957% (P<0.01). The pH of urine was increased with the DCAB value increase, and compared with groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ, there was a significant increase in groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and control (P<0.05). Therefore, adding cation-anion balance salt to adjust DCAB values under 177.77 mEq/kg DM can reduce the respiratory rate and relieve heat stress, and increase Ca level in serum of dairy cows, which would improve the health of dairy cows.
