Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bamboo leaf extracts on lactation performance, blood routine indexes and immune and antioxidant ability of dairy cows. Twenty Chinese Holstein cows with similar lactation age, body weight, parity and milk yield were selected, and using a completely random design, randomly divided into 4 groups with 5 replicates per group and 1 cow per replicate. Cows in the control group were fed a basal diet, and the others in experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 30, 60 and 90 g/d bamboo leaf extracts, respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 14 days, and the experimental period lasted for 35 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the milk yield of experimental groups were increased, but had no significant difference (P>0.05). The lactose rate, milk protein rate and milk fat correction rate of 30 g/d group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), the somatic cell counts of 90 g/d group was significantly lower than that of other groups (P<0.05). 2) The blood lymphocyte number and content of 60 g/d group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), the blood neutrophile granulocyte number and content of 30 and 60 g/d groups was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). 3) The contents of immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin G in plasma of 30 g/d group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). 4) The activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase in plasma of experimental groups were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), the plasma malondialdehyde content of experimental groups was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences among all experimental groups (P>0.05). In summary, dietary bamboo leaf extracts can improve the body's immune and antioxidant ability of dairy cows. Under these experimental conditions, the suitable dietary bamboo leaf extracts supplemental level is 30 g/d.
