Abstracts
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of using different lipid sources in diets for dairy cows during the transition period and early lactation on productive performance and physiological parameters in Holstein cows. The cows were fed with the following diets: 1) control; 2) Refined soybean oil; 3) Calcium salts of unsaturated fatty acids (Megalac-E). Diets were formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of cows during the pre-partum and postpartum period. The experimental diets affected the dry matter intake, body weight, body condition score, and energy balance in the postpartum period. The experimental diets did not affect the biochemical parameters in serum: glucose, total protein, albumin, urea, serum urea nitrogen, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, non-esterified fatty acids, β-hydroxybutyrate, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, also not being observed differences between the contrasts analyzed. The lipid sources soybean oil and calcium salts not directly influence the plasmatic physiological parameters of dairy cows in the period transition. But, fat supplementation in the transition period resulted in a better metabolic status and productive performance, mainly improving energy balance post-partum

Objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar os efeitos do uso de diferentes fontes de ácido graxo ômega 6 na dieta de vacas leiteiras no período de transição e início da lactação sobre o desempenho produtivo e bioquímico em vacas da raça Holandesa. As vacas foram alimentadas com as seguintes dietas: 1) controle, 2) óleo de soja refinado, 3) os sais de cálcio de ácidos graxos insaturados (Megalac-E). As dietas foram formuladas para atender às exigências nutricionais das vacas durante o período de pré-parto e pós-parto, dentro de cada grupo experimental. As dietas experimentais afetaram o consumo de matéria seca, o peso corporal, escore de condição corporal e equilíbrio de energia no período pós-parto. As dietas experimentais não afetaram os parâmetros bioquímicos no soro: glicose, proteína total, albumina, uréia, uréia sérica, colesterol total, HDL-colesterol, ácidos graxos não esterificados, β-hidroxibutirato, aspartato aminotransferase, γ-glutamil transferase, fosfatase alcalina, também não sendo observadas diferenças entre os contrastes analisados. As fontes de ácido graxo ômega 6 não influenciaram diretamente o bioquímico de vacas leiteiras no período de transição.
