Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of feeding a negative dietary cation-anion
difference during peripartum period on hematological, immunological, and proinflammatory
markers in periparturient Holstein-Friesian cattle. Blood samples were collected from 36
periparturient multiparous Holstein-Friesian cows where 18 cows were fed acidogenic diet
daily on low dietary cation-anion difference (L-DCAD group, −50 mEq/100 g of DM mEq/100
g of pre-partum matter according to NRC 2012) 21 days before calving, and 18 cows fed
normal diet (control). Feeding acidogenic diets during pre-partum period caused leukocytosis
and lymphocytosis and significant increase (P
