“…Dietary GABA supplementation increased the sensitivity of gastrointestinal tract to physical and chemical stimuli, inhibited the secretion of somatostatin, elevated the secretion of digestive juice, weakened the negative feedback in the digestive tract of chyme feeding behavior in animals, promoted the digestion and absorption of nutrient and increased the feed intake of animals (Chen et al, 2014;Cheng et al, 2014). Matsumoto et al (2009) found a significant difference in body weight observed in group-housed calves with RP-GABA supplementation (at level of 50 mg without heat stress). In addition, Cheng et al (2014) indicated that supplementation of RP-GABA (at levels of 40, 80 or 120 mg true GABA/kg BW with heat stress) had increased DM intake but no effect on feed efficiency and apparent digestibility of DM, organic matters, CP, NDF and ADF in heat-stressed lactating dairy cows.…”

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of rumen-protected γ-aminobutyric acid (RP-GABA) on apparent nutrient digestibility, growth performance and health status in heat stressed beef cattle. Fifty Jinjiang Yellow cattle were randomly assigned to 5 treatments (10 animals/treatment). Treatments 1 to 5 were basal diets affixed with 0 (control), 8, 16, 24 and 32 mg of RP-GABA/kg of body weight (BW) respectively. The trial lasted 45 days. Apparent digestibility of crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF) and calcium (Ca) quadratically increased with increasing RP-GABA (p < .01), while apparent digestibility of phosphorus (P) tended to quadratically increase (p = .09). Dietary supplementation with increasing RP-GABA linearly increased DM digestibility and average daily gain (ADG) (p < .01), whereas the feed to gain (F:G) ratio linearly decreased with increasing RP-GABA (p < .01). The average daily feed intake (ADFI) value tended to linearly increase with RP-GABA supplementation (p = .08). Total protein (TP), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels quadratically decreased (p < .01) with increasing RP-GABA, however albumin (ALB), glucose (GLU), superoxide dismutase (SOD), triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels quadratically increased (p ≤ .01). In conclusion, the present results indicated that dietary supplementation with RP-GABA led to improved nutrient digestibility, growth performance and antioxidant status in heat stressed beef cattle.

“…Conversely, Katamoto et al [7] previously examined the influence of seasonal differences in VE concentration in Japanese Black breeding cattle and reported significant decreases in VE during summer, which might have been related to decreased feed intake due to high ambient temperature. Additionally, Matsumoto et al [11] reported that subclinical health status might have affected consumption and resultant VE concentration. In the present study, no significant differences were observed in VA and VE concentrations between summer and non-summer periods in samples collected during the pre- and postpartum periods.…”

This retrospective study was conducted to confirm the relationship between pre- and postpartum metabolic parameters and postpartum reproductive performance and to clarify seasonal characteristics of the metabolic parameters by using our metabolic profile test (MPT) database of Japanese Black breeding herds. In evaluation 1, MPT databases of blood samples from multiparous cows collected prepartum and postpartum were divided into two groups according to calving interval, and each MPT parameter was compared. In evaluation 2, the same MPT databases used in evaluation 1 were divided into two groups according to the sampling period. Significant differences were found in the prepartal total protein and postpartal γ-glutamyltransferase in evaluation 1. In evaluation 2, significant differences were found in the prepartal and postpartal total protein, albumin/globulin ratio, and glucose. Clear seasonal differences in MPT results emphasized the usefulness of the MPT in breeding cattle herds fed home-pasture roughage and suggest that unsatisfactory reproductive performance during hot periods reflects inadequate nutritional content of the diet and possible reduced feed intake due to heat stress.

“…Recently, GABA was tested as a new feed additive to improve growth performance, reduce disease occurrence in calves (Matsumoto et al, 2009) and alleviate heat stress of dairy cows (Cheng et al, 2014). However, it is not clear how GABA would affect rumen fermentation and methane production.…”
