Miqueo E, Chiarle A, Giuliodori MJ, Relling AE. Association between prepartum metabolic status and resumption of postpartum ovulation in dairy cows. Domest Anim Endocrinol 2019; 69:62-67. [PMID: 31301559 DOI: 10.1016/j.domaniend.2019.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2018] [Revised: 03/30/2019] [Accepted: 04/18/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
Cows transitioning from late gestation to early lactation experience an increase in energy demands, which lead to a negative energy balance (NEB) because the greater energy requirement is not fully synchronized with the intake of dry matter. In this context, there is an increase in plasma NEFA and ghrelin concentrations and a decrease in plasma insulin and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) concentrations. This situation could have a negative impact on the return to cyclicity because some of these variables have been associated with reduced GnRH and LH pulsatility (high NEFA and low insulin concentrations). However, there are no studies showing the relationship between ghrelin or GIP and reproductive performance. It is known that these hormones are related with lipolysis and NEB, with NEB being one of the main determinants of GnRH pulse generator activity. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the association between plasma NEFA concentration and metabolic hormones (insulin, ghrelin, and GIP) before parturition and their associations with the resumption of postpartum ovulations in dairy cows. A completely randomized block design was used in a commercial dairy herd with sampling day (visit to farm) as the blocking criteria. Holstein cows (n = 92) were screened for plasma NEFA concentration -5 d (±2 d) relative to the expected parturition day, and top and bottom quartiles were considered as high (H-NEFA) and low (L-NEFA) NEFA groups. Data were analyzed with correlation, linear regression, and proportional hazard regression models. Plasma NEFA concentration (H-NEFA mean = 294 μM, SD = 141.2; and L-NEFA mean = 122 μM, SD = 25.3) was correlated (P < 0.01) with plasma insulin (r = -0.374) and ghrelin (r = -0.346) concentrations but not with plasma GIP concentration (P = 0.64). The greater the concentration of insulin, the lesser the prepartum NEFA concentration (for each 1 μU/mL of plasma insulin increase, there is a decrease of 1.223 ± 0.62 μM of NEFA). Plasma ghrelin and GIP concentrations were not associated with plasma NEFA concentration. Finally, H-NEFA prepartum cows were less likely to resume ovulation than L-NEFA cows (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.563, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.314-1.011), whereas high ghrelin cows were more likely to resume ovulation than low ghrelin cows (HR = 1.873, 95% CI = 0.846-4.145). Conversely, resumption of ovulation was not associated with prepartum insulin and GIP concentrations. Prepartum NEFA and possibly ghrelin are associated with the return to postpartum cyclicity; however, insulin and GIP are not related to the resumption of ovulation in dairy cows.

Eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid supplementation do not modify ewe and lamb metabolic status and performance through weaning. J Anim Sci 2018; 96:364-374.

Abstract
Fatty acids are involved in the regulation of many physiological pathways, including those involved in gene expression and energy metabolism. Through effects on these pathways, fatty acids may have lifelong impacts on offspring development and metabolism via maternal supplementation. Therefore, our objective was to investigate the impact of supplementing a source of omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) during late gestation on productive and metabolic responses of ewes and their offspring. Eighty-four gestating ewes (28 pens) were blocked and randomly assigned to a diet with 0.39% added fat during the last 50 d of gestation (d -0). The fat sources were Ca salts of a palmitic fatty acid distillate (PFAD) or EPA + DHA. After lambing (d 1), all ewes and lambs were placed on the same pasture. The ewes were weighed and BCS was measured on d -50, -20, 30, and 60 (weaning) of the experiment. Blood samples were taken from the ewes on d -50, -20, 1 (lambing), 30, and 60. Milk yield and composition were measured at 30 d postpartum. Lambs were weighed and bled at d 1, 30, and 60, and ADG was calculated. All plasma samples were analyzed for glucose and NEFA. Ghrelin, prostaglandin E metabolites (PGEM), and the prostaglandin D2 metabolite 11β-PGF2α were measured in d -20 ewe samples. Insulin and adropin were measured in lamb samples at d 60. There was no difference on ewe BW (P = 0.48) or BCS (P = 0.55), or plasma concentrations of glucose (P = 0.57), NEFA (P = 0.44), ghrelin (P = 0.36), PGEM (P = 0.32), and 11β-PGF2α (P = 0.86) between ewes supplemented with PFAD or EPA + DHA. Neither milk yield nor its composition was different (P > 0.10) among treatments. Lambs born from ewes supplemented with PFAD or EPA + DHA did not have different BW (P = 0.22), ADG (P = 0.21) or plasma NEFA (P = 0.52), glucose (P = 0.50), insulin (P = 0.59), and adropin (P = 0.72) concentrations. These results suggest that supplementation of EPA and DHA during late gestation did not affect ewe metabolic profile or milk production. Lamb performance and metabolism through weaning were not affected by maternal supplementation with an enriched source of EPA and DHA.

Duodenal infusion of fatty acids differentially affects plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 and ghrelin concentrations in sheep. J Anim Sci 2018; 96:1889-1893.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate how intraduodenal infusions of fatty acids (FA) affect appetite-related gut peptides such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and ghrelin in sheep. We hypothesized that these peptides can be highly reactive to unsaturated long-chain FA, because they are well known to decrease dry matter intake (DMI). Four ewes were fitted with a duodenal cannula and a jugular vein catheter for a 6-h duodenal infusion of the 9 FA (C8:0, C10:0, C12:0, C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, and C18:3) and water (control). The concentration of each FA was 1.6 g per metabolic body weight (BW), approximately corresponding to the amount of supplemented fat in a standard dairy cow diet. Each infusion was separated by at least 2 d. During the infusion period, blood samples were collected periodically to determine changes in plasma GLP-1, ghrelin, and metabolite concentrations. Duodenal infusions of C18:1, C18:2, and C18:3 led to higher plasma GLP-1 (P < 0.05) and lower glucose (P < 0.05) than control. Plasma ghrelin concentrations were greater in C18:1 and C18:3 infusions than control (P < 0.05). Plasma ketone bodies were higher in C8:0 and C10:0 infusions (P < 0.05), but plasma triglyceride concentrations were lower in C8:0, C10:0, C12:0, and C16:0 infusions (P < 0.05) than control. Fatty acid infusions except for C18:3 led to higher plasma NEFA concentrations than control (P < 0.05). These results confirmed that the hypophagic effect of dietary unsaturated long-chain FA is mediated by GLP-1 (an anorexigenic effect) secretion. However, we also observed higher plasma ghrelin (an orexigenic effect) partially by unsaturated long-chain FA. Thus, the gut peptide secretions when ruminant animals ingest FA supplements would complexly affect satiety and further studies are needed to determine their each impact on DMI.

Abstract
The high metabolic priority of the mammary gland for milk production, accompanied by limited feed intake around parturition results in a high propensity to mobilize body fat reserves. Under these conditions, fuel selection of many peripheral organs is switched, for example, from carbohydrate to fat utilization to spare glucose for milk production and to ensure partitioning of tissue- and dietary-derived nutrients toward the mammary gland. For example, muscle tissue uses nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) but releases lactate and amino acids in a coordinated order, thereby providing precursors for milk synthesis or hepatic gluconeogenesis. Tissue metabolism and in concert, nutrient partitioning are controlled by the endocrine system involving a reduction in insulin secretion and systemic insulin sensitivity and orchestrated changes in plasma hormones such as insulin, adiponectin, insulin growth factor-I, growth hormone, glucagon, leptin, glucocorticoids, and catecholamines. However, the endocrine system is highly sensitive and responsive to an overload of fatty acids no matter if excessive NEFA supply originates from exogenous or endogenous sources. Feeding a diet containing rumen-protected fat from late lactation to calving and beyond exerts similar negative effects on energy intake, glucose and insulin concentrations as does a high extent of body fat mobilization around parturition in regard to the risk for ketosis and fatty liver development. High plasma NEFA concentrations are thought not to act directly at the brain level, but they increase the energy charge of the liver which is, signaled to the brain to diminish feed intake. Cows differing in fat mobilization during the transition phase differ in their hepatic energy charge, whole body fat oxidation, glucose metabolism, plasma ghrelin, and leptin concentrations and in feed intake several week before parturition. Hence, a high lipid load, no matter if stored, mobilized or fed, affects the endocrine system, metabolism, and feed intake, and increases the risk for metabolic disorders. Future research should focus on a timely parallel increase in feed intake and milk yield during early lactation to reduce the impact of body fat on feed intake, metabolic health, and negative energy balance.

Abstract
Our objective was to determine the effects of calcium salts of long-chain fatty acids (CLFAs) and rumen-protected methionine (RPM) on plasma concentrations of ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (7 to 36) amide, and pancreatic hormones in lactating cows. Four Holstein cows in midlactation were used in a 4 by 4 Latin square experiment in each 2-wk period. Cows were fed corn silage-based diets with supplements of CLFAs (1.5% added on dry matter basis), RPM (20 g/d), CLFAs plus RPM, and without supplement. Jugular blood samples were taken from 1 h before to 2 h after morning feeding at 10-min intervals on day 12 of each period. CLFAs decreased dry matter intake, but RPM did not affect dry matter intake. Both supplements of CLFAs and RPM did not affect metabolizable energy intake and milk yield and composition. Plasma concentrations of NEFAs, triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (T-Cho) were increased with CLFAs alone, but increases of plasma concentrations of TG and T-Cho were moderated by CLFAs plus RPM. Calcium salts of long-chain fatty acids increased plasma ghrelin concentration, and the ghrelin concentration with CLFAs plus RPM was the highest among the treatments. Plasma concentrations of glucagon-like peptide-1, glucagon, and insulin were decreased with CLFAs, whereas adding RPM moderated the decrease of plasma glucagon concentration by CLFAs. These results indicate that the addition of methionine to cows given CLFAs increases plasma concentrations of ghrelin and glucagon associated with the decrease in plasma concentrations of TG and T-Cho.
