Effect of Dietary Rumen-Protected L-Tryptophan Supplementation on Growth Performance, Blood Hematological and Biochemical Profiles, and Gene Expression in Korean Native Steers under Cold Environment

Abstract: We assessed the growth performance, physiological traits, and gene expressions in steers fed with dietary rumen-protected L-tryptophan (RPT) under a cold environment. Eight Korean native steers were assigned to two dietary groups, no RPT (Control) and RPT (0.1% RPT supplementation on a dry matter basis) for six weeks. Maximum and minimum temperatures throughout the experiment were 6.7 °C and −7.0 °C, respectively. Supplementation of 0.1% RPT to a total mixed ration did not increase body weight but had positive… Show more

“…It should be noted that we collected blood samples prior to feeding, and thus due its half-life (1.8 h in in-vitro culture [23]) and also body homeostasis mechanism, rumen protected TRP may not alter blood metabolite parameters including TP, ALB, GLO, BUN, CPK, GLU, NEFA, and TG. Consistent with our results, in the previous study under cold stress conditions, Lee et al [3] reported unchanged blood biochemical parameters by supplementation of 0.1% rumen-protected L-TRP in Hanwoo steers, when blood samples were collected prior to feeding. Further study with a larger sample size and with the addition of a higher amount of TRP supplementation may result in significant differences in blood biochemical values particularly when blood was collected after feeding.…”

“…TRP is an important factor for erythropoiesis which produces red blood cells, which is the development of erythropoietic stem cells to mature red blood cells [19]. Similar with these complete blood count (CBC) results, Lee et al [3] found no changes in WBC, LYM, GRA, RBC, HGB, HCT, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and PLT of steers fed with 0.1% rumen-protected TRP. All blood biochemical parameters including ALB, GLO, GLU, CPK, NEFA, BUN, TG, and TP were not changed by supplementation of TRP (p > 0.05; Table 4).…”

“…Blood sampling for blood cell counting [ 11 ] and metabolite analysis [ 12 , 13 ] was conducted for each cow via the jugular vein at 3 h before feeding on the first day at 0, 4, and 8 weeks. In brief, blood was collected into an EDTA tube (BD 367844 Vacutainer, Becton Dickinson, NJ, USA) and then subjected to a CBC test using an HM2 (VetScan HM2 Hematology System, Abaxis, Union City, CA, USA).…”
