Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to reveal the factors influencing plasma purine derivatives contents by analyzing the correlation of plasma purine derivatives contents with milk performance, rumen fermentation parameters and plasma biochemical indices of lactating dairy cows. A total of 284 healthy Holstein dairy cows with lactation days of 24 to 77 days and parity 2 were selected, the milk yield was recorded and milk samples, rumen fluids and blood were collected, and the plasma purine derivatives contents, milk performance, rumen fermentation parameters and plasma biochemical indices were measured. The results showed as followed:1) the lactation days, milk protein yield and milk yield were positively correlated with plasma purine derivatives contents (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 2) The rumen isovalerate and valerate contents were negatively correlated with plasma purine derivatives contents (P<0.01), and the rumen butyrate content was positively correlated with plasma purine derivatives contents (P<0.05). 3) The plasma Δ15N and creatinine content were negatively correlated with plasma purine derivatives contents (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the plasma free fatty acids and glucose contents were positively correlated with plasma purine derivatives (P<0.01). In conclusion, the main factors affecting the plasma purine derivatives contents are as follows:the lactation days, milk protein yield and milk yield, the rumen isovalerate, valerate and butyrate contents, and the plasma Δ15N and creatinine, free fatty acids and glucose contents.
