Description
IMPROVED LACTATIONAL
PERFORMANCE OF DAIRY CATTLE
Background of the Invention This invention generally relates to macromineral dietary factors with respect to ruminant nutrition. More specifically this invention relates to the effect of dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) on the health and lactational performance of dairy cattle.
Dietary macromineral elements are necessary for proper health and productive performance of lactating dairy cows. As a class of nutrients, these elements have been the subject of extensive research, and considerable information exists about individual effects of each microminera( element. Information on interrelationships of macromineral elements in diets for lactating dairy cows is relatively limited.
An early publication was the first to propose that mineral interrelations were related to acid-base status [J. Biol. Chem., 58, 235 (1922)]. Itwas proposed further that maintenance of normal acid-base equilibrium required excretion of excess dietary cations and anions. It was hypothesized that consumption of either excess mineral cations relative to anions or excess anions relative to cations resulted in acid-base disturbances in animals (A.T. Shohl. Mineral Metabolism. Reinhold Publishing Corp., New York. 1939).
Once animal nutritionists began to test this hypothesis, mineral interrelationships were found to affect numerous metabolic processes, and there was evidence that mineral interrelationships had profound influences. It was theorized that for an animal to maintain its acid-base homeostasis, input and output of acidity had to be maintained.
It was shown that net acid intake was related to the difference between dietary cations and anions. The monovalent macromineral ions Na, K and CI were found to be the most influential elements in the interrelationship (P. Mongin. Page 1, Third Ann. Int.
Mineral Conf. Orlando, FI. 1980).
Nutrient metabolism in animals results in the degradation of nutrient precursors into strong acids and bases_ In typical rations fed to dairy cattle, inorganic cations exceed dietary inorganic anions by several miiliequivalents (meq) per day.
Carried with excess dietary inorganic cations are organic anions which can be combusted to HC03 .
Consequently, a diet with excess inorganic cations relative to inorganic anions is alkaline, and a diet with excess inorganic anions relative to cations is acidogenic.
1 S Chloride is the most acidogenic element to be considered. An excess of dietary chloride can lead to a respiratory and/or metabolic acidosis. This is critical in ruminant nutrition because of salt (NaCI) feeding both in the diet and on an ad iibitum basis. The acidogenic influence of chloride can be negated by sodium and potassium which are alkalogenic elements. Conversely, excess intake of sodium or potassium can induce metabolic alkalosis.

Blood pH ultimately is determined by the number of cation and anion charges absorbed in the blood. If more anions than cations enter the blood from the digestive tract, blood pH will decrease. It was proposed that a three-way interrelationship among dietary Na, K and CI, i.e., the sum of Na plus K minus CI [in meq per 1008 diet of dry matter (DM)], could be used to predict net acid intake. The term "dietary ration-anion difference (DCAD)" was coined to represent the mathematical calculation (W.K.
Sanchez and D. K. Beede. Page 31, Proc. Florida Rum. Nutr. Conf. Univ. of Florida.
1991 ). Expressed in its fullest form, DCAD is written as follows:
meq I(Na+ + K' + Ca'2 + Mg+2 ) _ (Cf + S04 2 + P04 3)]/
1008 of dietary dry matter (DM).
A problem with including the multivalent macrominerals (Ca, Mg, P and S) in the DCAD expression for ruminants relates to the variable and incomplete bioavailability of these ions compared to Na, K and CI. The expression employed most often in non-ruminant nutrition is the monovalent ration-anion difference:
meq (Na++ K+- Cl-)1100g dietary DM
Because of the additional use of sulfate salts in prepartum rations, the expression that has gained most acceptance in ruminant nutrition is as follows:
meq (Na++ K+) - (CI-+ S04 2)1100g dietary DM

meq (Na++ K+) - (CI-+ S04 2)1100g dietary DM
For a calculation, mineral concentration are first converted to milliequivalents:
meq/100g = ~milliqrams)(valence) (g atomic weight) The following illustrates a calculation of the meq Na + K - CI - S value of a diet S with 0.18% Na, 1.0% K, 0.25% CI and 0.2% S. There are 180mg Na (0.18% _ 0.18g/100g or 180mg/100g), 1000mg K (1.0% K), 250mg CI (0.25% CI) and 200mg S
(0.2% S) per 100g dietary DM. The S04 entity is calculated as atomic sulfur.
meq Na = (180 mg,)y1 valence) = 7.8meq Na (23g atomic weight) meq K = ~1000ma1(1 valence) = 25.6meq K
(39g atomic weight) meq CI = (250mg)(1 valence) = 7.Omeq CI
(35.5g atomic weight) meq S = ,(200mg~(2 valence) = 12.5meq S
(32g atomic weight) The calculated DCAD value is as follows:
meq (Na + K - CI - S) = 7.8 +25.6 - 7.0 -12.5 = 13.9 meq/
100g dietary DM
A simpler expression is as follows:
meq/100g = ~milliqrams)(valence) (g atomic weight) The following illustrates a calculation of the meq Na + K - CI - S value of a diet S with 0.18% Na, 1.0% K, 0.25% CI and 0.2% S. There are 180mg Na (0.18% _ 0.18g/100g or 180mg/100g), 1000mg K (1.0% K), 250mg CI (0.25% CI) and 200mg S
(0.2% S) per 100g dietary DM. The S04 entity is calculated as atomic sulfur.
meq Na = (180 mg,)y1 valence) = 7.8meq Na (23g atomic weight) meq K = ~1000ma1(1 valence) = 25.6meq K
(39g atomic weight) meq CI = (250mg)(1 valence) = 7.Omeq CI
(35.5g atomic weight) meq S = ,(200mg~(2 valence) = 12.5meq S
(32g atomic weight) The calculated DCAD value is as follows:
meq (Na + K - CI - S) = 7.8 +25.6 - 7.0 -12.5 = 13.9 meq/
100g dietary DM
A simpler expression is as follows:
DCAD = (0.18%~ Na/0.023) + (1.0% K/0.039) - (0.25% CU0.0355) - (0.2% S/0.016) _ + 13.9 meq/100g dietary DM
A study was conducted which was designed specifically to evaluate the effect of DCAD on acid-base status and lactational performance of dairy cattle. Diets formulated with -10, 0, +10 or +20 DCAD were compared. A diet with +20 improved dry matter intake (DMI) 11 % and milk yield (MY) 9% compared with a -10 DCAD diet. Blood bicarbonate (HC03 ) increased linearly with increasing DCAD, which indicated an improvement in acid-base status with high DCAD compared with low DCAD. It was concluded that responses to increasing DCAD were independent of specific Na, K
and CI effects [J. Dairy Sci., 71, 346 (1988)].
Another study evaluated the influence of Na, K and CI at constant DCAD. Diets were formulated to provide +32 DCAD in (1 ) a basal diet adequate in dietary Na, K and CI; (2) a basal diet containing an additional 1.17% NaCI; and (3) a basal diet containing an additional 1.56% KCI. Fifteen midlactation cows were assigned to replicated 3x3 Latin squares. The KCI-fed cows consumed more DM and had a lower milk fat percentage than NaCI-fed cows, but there were no differences in milk yield. It was concluded that dietary DCAD was a more important determinant of dietary impact on systemic acid-base status than actual dietary concentrations of Na, K and CI
[(J. Dairy Sci., 73, 3485 (1990)].

[(J. Dairy Sci., 73, 3485 (1990)].
An extensive study was conducted with 48 cows and 15 dietary treatments to investigate lactational and acid-base responses to DCAD as [(Na + K) - (CI +
S)].
DCAD ranged from 0 to +50 [(Na + K) - (CI + S)]/100g dietary DM. The basal diet was 54.5% concentrate, 5.5% cottonseed hulls, and 40% com silage (DM basis). Dry matter intake (DMI) and milk yield (Ml~ was highest when DCAD was between +17 to +38, and +25 -to +40, respectively [J. Dairy Sci., 77, 1661 (1994)].
In another study three switchback experiments were conducted with 12 cows each in early, mid or late lactation. Increasing DCAD from +5.5 to +25.8 in early lactation, and from +14 to +37.3 in midlactation, increased DMI and milk production.
These effects were not observed in late lactation with either +20 or +37.5 DCAD. The study results supported the concept that response to DCAD is affected by stages of lactation [J. Dairy Sci., 78, 2259 (1995)].
The cumulative DCAD studies also have indicated that dietary K has a unique role, particularly during heat stress in dairy cows. When potassium carbonate was the source of dietary K, a linear response to dietary K in heat stressed dairy cows was observed. Every 1 % increase in K raised fat-corrected milk by 8.9 Ibs/day [J.
Dairy Sci., 69, 124 (1986); 70, 81 (1987); and 70, 309 (1987)].
The reported studies have established the DCAD concept as an important factor in diet regimen for dairy cows. There are contradictions in the overall DCAD
data reported in the literature, so that salient DCAD considerations are incentive for continued investigation.

When potassium carbonate was the source of dietary K, a linear response to dietary K in heat stressed dairy cows was observed. Every 1 % increase in K raised fat-corrected milk by 8.9 Ibs/day [J.
Dairy Sci., 69, 124 (1986); 70, 81 (1987); and 70, 309 (1987)].
The reported studies have established the DCAD concept as an important factor in diet regimen for dairy cows. There are contradictions in the overall DCAD
data reported in the literature, so that salient DCAD considerations are incentive for continued investigation.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a method for improving the lactational performance of dairy cows.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method for DCAD control to increase the dry matter intake (DMI) of lactating dairy cows.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method for DCAD control to increase the milk yield (MY) of lactating dairy cows.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a method for DCAD control to increase the blood bicarbonate (HC03 ) of lactating dairy cows Other objects and advantages of the present invention shall become apparent from the accompanying description and example.

Description of the Invention One or more objects of the present invention are accomplished by the provision of a method for improving the lactational performance of a dairy cow which comprises feeding a lactating cow with a feedstock having a prescribed content of macromineral nutrients; wherein the relative proportions of macrominerals in the feedstock are defined as a dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) which corresponds to the equation:
DCAD = meq (Na+ + K+) - (CI-+ S04 2)/1008 dietary DM
where meq is milliequivalents, Na is sodium cations, K is potassium cations, CI is chloride anions, S04is sulfate anions, and DM is dry matter; wherein DCAD has a value between about 20-60 meq/1 OOg dietary DM, and the atomic ratio of potassiumaodium in the feedstock is between about 1-5:1; and wherein the feedstock has a weight ratio of potassium:magnesium between about 3-5:1.
s As demonstrated in the Example and as summarized in FIGS.1-3, an important aspect of the present invention is a feed regimen for lactating dairy cows which has a prescribed content of macrominerals within a specified DCAD meq range, and which has a specified atomic ratio of potassium and sodium. The presence of both potassium and sodium in a feedstock is an essential feature of the present invention, as demonstrated in the Example.
As a further aspect, the beneficial response to the invention feed regimen for lactating dairy cows, with a specified ratio of potassiumaodium, points to the unique role of dietary potassium, particularly during heat stress. Milk is higher in potassium than calcium, and a heat stressed dairy cow often is potassium deficient. For optimal lactation performance, an essential weight ratio balance must be maintained between potassium and magnesium cations.
In the practice of the present invention, an optimal increase in dry matter intake (DMI) is obtained when the DCAD value is between about 20-38 meql100g dietary DM.
An optimal increase in milk yield (MY) is obtained when the DCAD value is between about 25-40 meq/100g dietary DM. An optimal increase in blood bicarbonate is obtained when the DCAD value is between about 30-52 meq/100g dietary DM.
In a further imbodiment the present invention provides a feedstock for improving the lactational performance of dairy cows which comprises a supplemented basal ration having a prescribed content of micromineral nutrients; wherein the relative proportions of macrominerals in the feedstock are defined as a dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) which corresponds to the equation:
DCAD = meq (Na+ + K+) - (CI-+ S042)/100g dietary where meq is milliequivalents, Na is sodium cations, K is potassium canons, CI
is chloride anions, S04is sulfate anions, and DM is dry matter; wherein DCAD has a value between about 20-60 meq1100g dietary DM, and the atomic ratio of K:Na in the feedstock is befinreen about 1-5:1; and wherein the feedstock has a weight ratio of potassium:magnesium befinreen about 3-5:1. A preferred weight ratio of potassium:magnesium is between about 3.4-4.6:1.
A present invention macromineral prescription is administered in a conventional feedstock of the type developed for lactating cows. Typical feedstocks are basal rations as described in publications such as J. Dairy Sci., 77, 1437 (1994); 77, 1661 (1994);
and 77, 3096 (1994); incorporated by reference.
Macrominerals can be selected from the group consisting of sod~um bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium sesquicarbonate, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium phosphate and potassium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate and potassium phosphate. Magnesium cations can be provided in the form of magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and the like.
io A feedstock for lactating cows will be varied over the lactation cycle. A
typical feedstock will include silage, and energy concentrate and protein concentrate.
A basal feedstock can comprise 6.4kg corn silage (35% dry matter),17kg alfalfa silage (50% dry matter), 1 kg alfalfa hay, and 6.9kg energy and 2.1 kg protein concentrate.

is The macrominerals in an invention feedstock have significant metabolic interrelationships relative to the health and lactational performance of dairy cattle.
Animal trials have indicated that a magnesium deficiency results in failure to retain potassium, which can lead to a potassium deficiency. Also, excessive levels of potassium interfere with magnesium absorption. Because sodium and potassium must be in balance, excessive use of salt depletes an animal's potassium supply (pages 99-104. Feeds & Nutrition. Second edition, Ensminger Publishing Co., 1990).
Clinical studies have provided evidence that magnesium is essential for keeping the intracellular potassium constant. Dietary deprivation of magnesium is accompanied by muscle potassium deficit despite an abundant supply of potassium. In animal studies, a diet depleted of potassium caused a significant hypokalemia and hypermagnesemia, a diuresis and natriuresis, a magnesiuria, and a decrease in the fecal excretion of magnesium (Chapter 12. Magnesium:lts Biological Significance. CRC
Press, Inc., Boca Raton, Florida).
"Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattie" (1989) by the National Research Council lists recommended nutrient content of diets for dairy cattle (Table 6-5, page 87). For early lactation, the recommended diet contents are 0.18% sodium, 1 %
potassium, and 0.25% magnesium (DM basis). Under conditions of heat stress, potassium can be increased to 1.2%; and under conditions conducive to grass tetany, magnesium can be increased to 0.3% to satisfy distress macromineral requirements.
The following Example is further illustrative of the present invention. The components and specific ingredients are presented as being typical, and various modifications can be derived in view of the foregoing disclosure within the scope of the invention.
EXAMPLE
This Example illustrates the improved lactational performance of dairy cows which are fed in accordance with the present invention.
Seventy Holstein dairy cows were randomly assigned at calving to receive one of seven postpartum treatments beginning at 7 days postpartum through day 70 of lactation.
The basal diet was formulated to meet or exceed NRC requirements for protein, energy, UIP, DIP, NDF, vitamins and minerals. The diet contained (DM basis) a 50:50 forage:concentrate ratio with 80% of the forage from corn silage and 20% from a mixed legume-grass haylage (DM basis). The concentrate portion of the diet was composed of high moisture ear corn and a commercial supplement containing com, barley, soybean meal, distiller's grains, fishmeal and blood meal.
The basal diet was formulated to contain a dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) of +15.5 meq/100g DM with DCAD calculated as meq (Na + K) - (CI + S).
Of the seven treatments, one was the basal diet, three had DCAD adjusted to +30.0 m meql100g DM using either Na from sodium bicarbonate, K from potassium carbonate or a 50:50 (weight basis) mixture of each, and the remaining three diets had their DCAD
adjusted to +60.0 meq/100g DM by the same method as the +30.0 DCAD diets. The actual DCAD analyses of the diets were +18.0, +25.2 and +52.0 meql1 OOg DM for the formulated basal, +30.0 and +60.0 for the DCAD diets. The basal diet contained no additional sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate.
All diets were offered as total mixed rations (TMR) delivered twice daily to assure a minimum of 10% of the total daily allotment as refusals the next day.
Refusals were weighed and recorded daily prior to the morning feeding. The diets were offered within the first six days postpartum and measurements commenced on day 7 postpartum.
Rations were sampled weekly for DM analysis, and composited monthly for nutrient analysis. Milk was sampled weekly where AM/PM samples were proportionally composited for fat and protein analysis by the Quebec milk-recording laboratory.
Venous blood was sampled by tail venipuncture once per week for pH and bicarbonate analysis.
Measurements were daily feed intake and milk production (2 times/day milking) and weekly milk analysis, blood pH and blood bicarbonate.
The collected data are summarized in FIGS.1-3. The different superscripts (a~b,~
indicate a statistical difference between control and treatment means where a=P<.1, b=P<.05 and c=P<.01.
is FIG. 1 is a graph illustrating dry matter intake (DMI) versus dietary ration-anion difference (DCAD) in the early lactation phase of the tested dairy cows. The FIG.1 data demonstrate that the highest DMI was obtained with the +52 diet having a K:Na ratio of 50:50 (weight basis).
The F1G. 2 data demonstrate that the highest milk yield was obtained with the +52 DCAD diet having a K:Na ratio of 50:50 (weight basis).
The FIG. 3 data demonstrate that the highest blood bicarbonate was obtained with the +52 DCAD diet having a K:Na ratio of 50:50 (weight basis).
Similar results are obtained when DCAD is in the range of 20-60 meq/100g dietary DM, the K:Na atomic ratio in the range of 1-5:1, and the K:Mg weight ratio is in the range of 3-5:1.
A preferred DCAD is between about 25-55 meql100g dietary DM, a preferred K:Na atomic ratio is between about 1.5-4.:1, and a preferred K:Mg weight ratio is between about 3.4-4.6:1.
Practice ofthe invention embodiments is most beneficial to dairy cattle during the 12-15 months early lactation stage. Typically the feedstock formulations are adjusted to achieve a target DCAD in the range of about 25-55 meq/100g dietary DM.
