چکیده انگلیسی
Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocytes (PMNL) play an important role in the first line cell-mediated immune defense of the body in general and of the mammary gland against mastitis pathogens in particular. Reduced viability of PMNL close to parturition may explain the high incidence of infectious diseases and the high prevalence of intramammary infections (IMI) in periparturient dairy heifers. Apoptosis of blood PMNL 1 wk before the expected calving date and of blood and milk PMNL at 1 to 4 d in milk was determined using flow cytometry. Information on heifer and gland characteristics was collected before calving and in early lactation. Data were analyzed using multivariable, multilevel regression analysis. Supplementation of a commercial mineral/vitamin mix before calving was associated with less blood (14.4 ± 2.9 vs. 22.4 ± 2.1%) and milk PMNL apoptosis (19.0 ± 1.1 vs. 26.4 ± 0.9%) near calving, presumably related to higher blood selenium concentrations. Both blood and milk PMNL apoptosis showed seasonal variation with the highest proportion of apoptotic cells between January and March (32.0 ± 6.1 and 34.6 ± 2.7%, respectively) and April and June (31.3 ± 5.7 and 37.8 ± 2.3%, respectively). Heifers losing 0.25 points or more of their body condition in the periparturient period had higher proportions of apoptotic blood PMNL in early lactation compared with heifers losing less than 0.25 points (24.0 ± 2.8 vs. 16.6 ± 1.7%). Milk PMNL apoptosis was less pronounced in quarters having teat orifices colonized with non-aureus staphylococci before calving (18.9 ± 1.0 vs. 29.4 ± 1.0%). The variation in blood PMNL apoptosis before and after calving mainly resided at the heifer level (71.4 and 98.4% of the total variation, respectively), whereas the variation in milk PMNL apoptosis mainly resided at the heifer (45.7% of the total variation) and quarter levels (45.5% of the total variation). These data imply that the impaired blood and milk PMNL viability in periparturient heifers can be reduced by optimization of certain heifer management practices such as supplementation of minerals/vitamins, and pasture and feeding strategies.
