| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted to assess effects of dietary betaine supplementation on physio-biochemical profile, anti-oxidant parameters, hormonal profile and milk composition in lactating Deoni cows during summer stress. The study was carried out at LRIC, Deoni farm, Bidar during summer season (April-May) for a period of 8 weeks. Ten lactating cows were randomly divided into control and treatment group with five in each group. Control group was fed basal diet alone. For the treatment group, basal diet was supplemented with anhydrous betaine hydrochloride @ 15 grams per cow per day in the diet during the study period. In respiration and heart rate there were no significant differences noted, rectal temperatures were significantly (P< 0.05) lower in treatment group. TEC, Hb. PCV values revealed significant increase at 4th,6th and 8th weeks of the study. Whereas, Lymphocyte % were significantly higher and neutrophils were significantly lower in treatment group at 2nd,4th ,6th ,8th and 6th ,8th weeks respectively. The bio-chemical parameters viz., plasma glucose and total protein levels were significantly higher (P ≤ 0.05) whereas plasma cholesterol levels were lowered at 8th weeks, triglyceride levels and blood urea nitrogen were significantly (P < 0.05) lower at 6th and 8th weeks respectively. Anti-oxidant profile revealed significant (P <0.05) decrease in plasma lipid peroxidation activity and significant (P< 0.05) increase in the mean plasma SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in treatment group at 6th and 8th weeks respectively. Hormonal profile revealed that the treatment group had significantly (P< 0.05) higher T3 at 8th weeks, T4 at 6th and 8th weeks and lower plasma cortisol levels at 4th,6thand 8th weeks respectively compared to control group. Milk parameters revealed significant (P< 0.05) increase in milk yield at 4th,5th,6th,7th and 8thand milk composition including SNF, milk protein, lactose at 7th and 8th weeks respectively compared to control group during study period. From the results of the present study, it can be concluded that supplementation of betaine is economically beneficial with increased milk yield and composition as well as it was found to ameliorate the ill effects of summers stress through improved physio-biochemical data in our study in betaine supplemented group. | |
