“…The Animal Experiment Committee at Tehran University, Karaj, Iran, approved all procedures and guidelines involving animals. The present study was part of a large research project, with a portion of the results (prepartum and postpartum performance of calves' dams) reported elsewhere (11) . Briefly, pregnant nulliparous (n 42) and previously parous (n 78) Holstein cattle were blocked by parity and enrolled in the study starting at 3 week before their calculated parturition date.…”

“…Calves were considered to have adequate passive transfer if the plasma concentration of total IgG was ≥10 g/l after 24 h of colostrum feeding (24) . Whole colostrum samples were collected and frozen (−20°C) for later analyses of IgG concentration and FA profile, and results were reported elsewhere (11) . Briefly, the FA profile of colostrum resembled that of the prepartum diets fed to dams during late gestation (11) .…”

“…Studies have confirmed that the strategic feeding of FA enriches tissues and body fluids with the corresponding supplemented FA. In dairy cattle, dams supplemented with prepartum diets enriched in linoleic acid (10) or EPA and DHA (11) produced colostrum with greater concentrations of the respective supplemented FA compared with colostrum from non-supplemented cows. Furthermore, plasma of newborn dairy calves born from dams fed diets enriched in EPA and DHA (12) or linoleic acid (13) had increased concentrations of the FA fed to their dams.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementing essential fatty acids (FA), during late gestation and the preweaning and early weaning periods on passive immunity, growth, health, rumen fermentation parameters, blood metabolites and behaviour of dairy calves. During the last 3 weeks of pregnancy, cattle (n 120), within parity, were randomly assigned to one of three diets with different fat supplements: (a) no supplemental fat (CON), (b) supplement rich in linoleic acid (CSO), or (c) supplement rich in EPA and DHA (CFO). Eighty-four newborn Holstein calves were randomly assigned, within the prepartum diets, to one of two calf starters: no fat supplement (FC-0) or 2 % Ca-salt of unsaturated FA (FC-2). Overall, the interaction between dam diets and calf starters did not affect calf performance or any other parameter measured. Calves born from dams fed fat (CSO or CFO) performed better than calves born from dams fed CON. Namely, calves born from dams fed fat had greater plasma concentrations of IgG (P < 0·01), better apparent efficiency of IgG absorption (P < 0·01) and average daily gain (ADG, 597 v. 558 g/d; P = 0·02), and lower rectal temperature (RT; P < 0·01). Calves fed a calf starter rich in unsaturated FA (FC-2) had greater (P ≤ 0·01) ADG, skeletal growth, feed efficiency, and weaning weight compared with FC-0-fed calves. Furthermore, calves fed FC-2 had lower RT during the pre- and post-weaning periods (P ≤ 0·04) and fewer days with diarrhoea (P < 0·001) compared with calves fed CF-0. Time spent eating, ruminating, standing, lying, and on non-nutritive oral behaviour did not differ by treatment. Similarly, treatments did not affect ruminal fermentation parameters. At 28 and 77 d of age, calves fed CF-2 had higher plasma concentrations of albumin and cholesterol (P ≤ 0·02) and lower urea N compared with calves fed CF-0. Plasma concentrations of alkaline phosphatase were higher in calves fed CF-2 compared with those fed CF-0, when they were 77 d old. These findings support feeding moderate amounts of long-chain PUFA during late uterine life or during the preweaning period have beneficial effects on calf metabolism, growth, and health performance.

“…Increasing plasma PUFA concentrations in young calves was previously attempted through supplementing prepartum dams, but results indicate that placental selectivity of FA is regulated beyond additional dietary modifications (Garcia et al, 2014). Mixed results are reported on the ability of maternal colostrum to mirror an increase in prepartum PUFA dietary intake (Leiber et al, 2011;Jolazadeh et al, 2019). Thus, we chose to supplement maternal colostrum directly with n-3 FAenriched oils instead of relying on late-gestation dam supplementation.…”

Our objective was to characterize the effects of supplementing newborn calves with n-3 fatty acids (FA) and α-tocopherol on blood lipid profiles and oxidant status in early life. Sixteen calves received 0 or 60 mL of 1:1 fish and flaxseed oil with 200 mg of α-tocopherol in 2.8 L of colostrum within 6 h after birth. Colostrum was >22% on the Brix scale. Blood was sampled on d 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 21 after birth for assessment of plasma polyunsaturated FA, α-tocopherol, total serum protein, and oxidant status index, an indirect indicator of oxidative stress that examines the balance between the concentration of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and antioxidant capacity in serum. Health was observed daily. Weight and hip height were recorded at birth, 3 wk, and 8 wk. Data were analyzed with a Mixed procedure of SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Treatment did not alter concentration of total protein in blood serum, prevalence of diarrhea or other signs of disease, or rate of growth. Feeding n-3 FA and α-tocopherol increased plasma concentrations of the n-3 FA, including α-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids, with a concomitant decrease in oxidant status index during the first week of life. Concentrations of α-tocopherol decreased with supplementation, but all calves maintained adequate concentrations. Oxidant status index of treated calves returned to the level of control calves by d 14. We conclude that a colostrum supplement of n-3 FA and α-tocopherol is safe to administer to newborn calves, reduces oxidant status in the first week of life, and may improve health and performance.
