Blood total antioxidant capacity (TAC) has become a key bio-marker for animal health. Forest-grazing cattle are known to forage various native plants that have high TAC. This study evaluated differences of plasma TAC between forest-grazing (FG) and pasture-grazing cattle (PG). Experiment 1 monitored the plasma TAC levels of 32 Japanese Black cattle. The level in PG did not change throughout the grazing period. However, that in FG, which increased from summer, was significantly higher than that in PG through fall (P < 0.05). In experiment 2, we used nine Japanese Black heifers and investigated their blood antioxidant parameters and the TAC in plants that the cattle consumed in late June and September. The plasma TAC levels in FG were significantly higher than those in PG in both periods (P < 0.05). Plasma levels of lipid peroxidation in FG tended to be lower than that in PG (P = 0.098). Furthermore, the TAC levels in various species of shrubs and trees consumed by FG were higher than those in pasture grasses. Results of this study show that plasma TAC of grazing Japanese Black cattle in forestland increase from summer through fall.

“…A sensitive, reliable and useful indicator for measurement of cumulative action of all the antioxidants present in plasma is TAC. TAC is also a useful tool for measuring stress in transported calves (Pregel et al 2005), and could potentially be used to evaluate the general nutritional status of animals (Mandebvu et al 2003; Zdunczyk et al 2006).…”

The purpose of the study reported in this Research Communication was to evaluate alterations in concentration of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of plasma, plasma total thiols as markers of oxidative protein damage and malondialdehyde (as a final product of lipid peroxidation) in samples obtained at different stages of the lactation cycle and dry period of dairy cows. We found that TAC was significantly lower in the primiparous cows compared to multiparous cows. This study clearly demonstrates a need for monitoring primiparous cows during the production cycle, especially when they are faced with severe metabolic conditions. Furthermore, TAC may be a sensitive, reliable and useful indicator for measurement of cumulative effects of antioxidants as an addition to metabolic profile tests, which are currently used to analyse dairy cattle health.

“…However, in order to compare the effectiveness of administration of the organic or inorganic forms as well as of feed additives or injections, more detailed studies on antioxidant supplementation methods should be carried out especially during the transition period in which changes in the gastrointestinal environment and pH due to ration changes. Although it is suggested that TAS and TOS can be effective in monitoring the feeding status (Mandebvu et al 2003) and some diseases in dairy cows (Atakisi et al 2010), the results may vary depending on the measurement method (Andrei et al 2016) and the feeding differences (Mandebvu et al 2003). TAS represents the sum of all the antioxidants present in serum (Castillo et al 2005, Lykkesfeldt andSvendsen 2007).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of prepartally injections of antioxidants on total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and udder health parameters on day 14 postpartum in Holstein-Friesian cows. Sixty-eight multiparous cows were divided into treatment (TRE; n=33) and control (CON; n=35) groups. Injections of vitamins (A, D and E) and trace elements (Se, Cu, Zn and Mn) were administered intramuscularly to cows into the TRE group on 21±5 and 10±5 days prepartum. Blood and milk samples were collected to evaluate beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), TAS, TOS and udder health (somatic cell count (SCC), total bacterial count (individual bacteria count (IBC) and colony formation unit (CFU)). TAS levels were higher in the TRE group than the CON group. And TOS levels were lower in the TRE group than the CON group (P<0.001). Cows in the TRE group had lower SCC than the cows in the CON group (p=0.042). In conclusion, prepartally supplements of antioxidants were effectively reduced levels of serum TOS and SCC and increased levels of serum TAS. But, it was detected that it did not affect on IBC and CFU levels. ÖZBu çalışmanın amacı, Holstein-Friesian ırkı ineklerde prepartal vitamin ve iz element enjeksiyonlarının postpartum 14. günde toplam antioksidan ve oksidan seviyeleri (TOS ve TAS) ile meme sağlığı parametreleri üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesiydi. Altmış sekiz multipar inek tedavi (TED; n=33) ve kontrol (KON; n=35) grubu olarak ikiye ayrıldı. TED grubundaki ineklere prepartum 21±5 ve 10±5 günlerde intramuskuler vitamin (A, D, E) ve iz element (Cu, Zn, Se, Mn) enjeksiyonları yapıldı. Beta hidroksi bütirik asit (BHBA), TOS ve TAS ile meme sağlığını (somatik hücre sayısı (SHS), toplam bakteri sayısı (bireysel bakteri sayısı (BBS) ve koloni oluşturan birim (KOB)) değerlendirmek için kan ve süt örnekleri toplandı. TAS seviyesi kontrol grubuna göre tedavi grubunda daha yüksek bulunurken TOS seviyesi daha düşük bulundu. Tedavi grubundaki ineklerin SHS'leri, kontrol grubundakilerden daha düşüktü (p=0.042). Sonuç olarak, prepartal antioksidan takviyelerinin serum TOS ve süt SHS seviyelerini etkili bir şekilde düşürdüğü ve serum TAS seviyesini arttırdığı görüldü. Ancak BBS ve KOB seviyelerine etki etmediği tespit edildi.Anahtar Kelimeler: Antioksidan, inek, meme sağlığı, somatik hücre sayısı, toplam bakteri sayısı.
