    Abstract:
    Objectives were to evaluate the effects of an oral supplement containing soluble Ca, and live yeast in LPS-challenged dairy cows. The trial consisted of 2 experimental periods (P). During P1 (3 d), cows (n = 12) were fed ad libitum and baseline data was collected. At the beginning of P2 (which lasted 96 h), all cows were i.v. challenged with 0.375 μg/kg BW LPS. Cows were assigned randomly to 1 of 2 treatments: 1) control (CON; no bolus; n = 6) or 2) an oral bolus containing Ca and live yeast (CLY; YMCP Vitall® 44.718 g of elemental Ca; TechMix, LLC., Stewart, MN; n = 6), administered -0.5 and 6.5 h relative to LPS infusion. Following LPS administration, circulating Ca decreased in both treatments but supplemental CLY ameliorated the hypocalcemia (48 h area under the curve: -10.8 vs. -1.9 mmol/L × h; P < .01). Lipopolysaccharide decreased dry matter intake (DMI; 60%) similarly for both treatments on d 1, but overall (d 1-4) DMI tended to be reduced less (14 vs. 30%; P = .06) in CLY supplemented vs CON cows. Lipopolysaccharide reduced milk yield (70%; P < .01) from 12 to 24 h, but throughout P2, milk yield from CLY supplemented cows was increased (38%; P = .03) relative to CON cows. Overall during P2, circulating LPS-binding protein and serum amyloid A increased post LPS (3- and 4-fold, respectively, P < .01), but were unaffected by treatment (P ≥ .68). In conclusion, providing an oral supplement containing Ca and live yeast prior to and following LPS administration markedly ameliorated LPS-induced hypocalcemia and improved DMI and milk yield.
