“…Packed cell volume was greater (P < 0.001) in sick cows in comparison with cows that were not sick, which was likely a result of reduced water intake. Overall, these findings agree with other authors who observed no difference in mean PCV in water-deprived cattle (Rumsey and Bond, 1976;Cole and Hutcheson, 1981;Gortel et al, 1992;Bjerg et al, 2005).…”

“…Serum osmolality appears to be a more sensitive indicator of changes in hydration status than PCV. Gortel et al (1992) found that extracellular fluid was used to maintain plasma volume in bulls that were denied access to water and feed in preslaughter lairage for 12 h. These authors also observed no difference in PCV between bulls that had ad libitum access to water and bulls that did not over the 12-h period. However, these authors recognized greater plasma osmolality in bulls that were denied water and feed access for 12 h than bulls that were allowed access to water over the same period.…”

During marketing, cattle may be exposed to periods of water deprivation. The impact of water and feed access and health status on the physiological well-being and carcass characteristics of Holstein slaughter cows during preslaughter marketing was studied through analysis of serum components, BW loss percentage, and fresh meat composition. Ninety-one multiparous Holstein cows (609 ± 89 kg mean BW, 2.9 ± 0.5 mean BCS, varying stage of lactation) were purchased over 3 wk in 3 groups (n = 31, 29, and 31) at a terminal market in central Wisconsin. Each cow was screened to determine health status (sick or not sick) and randomly assigned to 1 of 3 water and feed withdrawal treatment pens (AL, ad libitum access to water for 36 h; 18H, 18 h of ad libitum access to water followed by 18 h of water withdrawal; 36H, 36 h of water withdrawal; all 3 treatments included 36 h of feed withdrawal) in a randomized complete block arrangement with repeated measures for serum components. Blood samples were collected by tail venipuncture at 0, 9, 18, 27, and 36 h of each treatment. Ambient temperatures were 1.9 ± 6.2°C during the trial period, which occurred over a 3-wk period in March and April 2007 near Arlington, WI. No difference (P > 0.05) was observed in mean serum cortisol in AL (18.41 ± 2.17 ng/mL) or 36H (22.98 ± 2.17 ng/mL). Mean serum glucose was greater (P < 0.05) in 36H pens (78.15 ± 0.77 mg/dL) than AL (75.91 ± 0.77 mg/dL). Mean serum creatinine was greater (P < 0.05) in 36H pens (0.71 ± 0.03 mg/dL) than AL (0.60 ± 0.03 mg/dL). The 36H pens also displayed increased (P < 0.05) serum albumin, anion gap, Ca, Cl, Na, cholesterol, and aspartate aminotransferase over AL. Greater (P < 0.05) mean percentage BW loss was observed in 36H pens (5.2 ± 0.6%) than AL (3.1 ± 0.6%). Mean muscle protein (%) was greater (P < 0.05) in 36H (22.2 ± 0.4%) than 18H (21.3 ± 0.4%). Mean muscle moisture (%) was greater (P < 0.05) in AL and 18H (75.3 ± 0.4% and 75.2 ± 0.4%) than 36H. Mean 24-h pH values were 5.92 (AL), 5.92 (18H), and 5.81 (36H; SE = 0.04) and were not different (P < 0.05). Observed pH and color values indicated a borderline dark-cutter state across all cattle in the study, regardless of water and feed access treatment. Based on these results, water and feed withdrawal in lairage should not exceed 18 h during the marketing of Holstein slaughter cows acclimated to springtime conditions to maintain BW, serum component concentrations, and fresh meat composition.

“…Of particular importance are the effects of transportation duration on feed, water and rest intervals and which may result in physiological changes including dehydration, energy depletion, ion depletion, and protein catabolism (Gortel, Schaefer, Young, & Kawamoto, 1992;Schaefer, Dubeski, Aalhus, & Tong, 2001). In addition, the importance of pre-transportation nutrition and its role in reducing and meat quality aberrations on long journeys cannot be over looked (Schaefer et al, 2001).…”

“…In contrast, the EU regulations state a maximum trip length of 30 h (European Commission (EC) (EC), 2005). Recent recommendations by EFSA (2011) state that adult cattle should not be transported longer than 29 h after which they should be rested for a 24 h recovery period with access to food and water.…”

“…The lowest N:L ratio and blood glucose on sheeps drunk extract leaf might caused body weight loss lower than control, 2.22 vs 3.09% (Figure 4). Gortel et al (1992) have reported that sheeps had released many electrolyte ions in urine and feces, till reduced body weight and carcass quality after transportated. Solubility test used to determine the amount of dry Datura metel Linn.…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efektivitas daun Datura metel Linn. dalam mengurangi cekaman transportasi pada domba. Penelitian dilakukan 3 tahap. Tahap pertama adalah menentukan dosis yang tepat dengan perlakuan 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25%, dan pekat pada hamster melalui kemampuan berputar pada roda berputar selama 1 menit, yang diobservasi pada waktu 10, 20, 30, 60, 120, dan 180 menit pascapemberian ekstrak daun Datura metel Linn. Tahap kedua menguji efek sediaan ekstrak daun Datura metel Linn. yang diberikan pada domba pratransportasi. Tahap 3, mempelajari bentuk penyajian dengan teknik celup. Lima ukuran partikel tepung daun Datura metel Linn. yaitu >60, 60-40, 40-30, 30-20, dan <20 mesh diuji kelarutannya dalam air selama 10 menit. Data diolah dengan deskriptif analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian daun Datura metel Linn. untuk semua perlakuan memberikan sensasi tenang dan bertahan sampai 180 menit. Domba yang diberi ekstrak daun Datura metel Linn. memiliki derajat stres transportasi yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan tanpa pemberian ekstrak Datura metel Linn. Ukuran mesh <20 memberikan kelarutan yang paling tinggi. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa ekstrak daun Datura metel Linn. dapat mengurangi stres transportasi pada domba.
