Assessment of blood and productive parameters in mid-lactation dairy cows fed different diets: replacement of corn silage with triticale silage

Abstract 3 ± 1.5), days in milk (DIM) (150 ± 85.0), and daily milk production (26 ± 4.6  kg). 2.50 × 10 9 mg dL - 1), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs; 21.40 and 31.93 µ mol L - 1), and Cl (91.99 and 93.50 mmol L - 1). Hair cortisol was low (0.94 and 0.91 pg mg - 1), indicating the absence of stress signs, as confirmed by the results of other immunological parameters (serum lysozyme (SL), bactericidal activity (SBA), haptoglobin (HP), and oxygen free radicals (OFRs)). Statistical differences were not found either for haematological or biochemical parameters. The total replacement of CS with TS did not affect milk yield and composition. In conclusion, the replacement of CS by TS did not give rise to significant modifications in the parameters investigated and did not alter the health status of the animals, thus suggesting the feasibility of its introduction into the diet of mid-lactation dairy cows.
