Abstract
Dry period heat stress impairs subsequent milk yield. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of heat stress or cooling during the early and late dry period on mammary gland gene expression and microstructure. Cows were dried off ∼45 d before expected parturition and randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments: heat stress (HT, n = 39) or cooling (CL, n = 39) during the first 21 d of the dry period. On d 22, cows were switched or remained on HT and CL and this yielded 4 treatments: heat stress during the entire dry period (HTHT, n = 18); cooling during the entire dry period (CLCL, n = 20); HT for the first 21 d dry, then CL until calving (HTCL, n = 21); or CL for the first 21 d dry, then HT until calving (CLHT, n = 19). Data were analyzed in 2 periods: first 21 d dry (early dry period) and from 22 d until calving (late dry period) and analyzed using PROC MIXED or GLM in SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Mammary biopsies (5-8 cows/treatment) were collected at -3, 3, 7, 14, and 25 d relative to dry-off to evaluate mammary gland gene expression and histology [i.e., cellular apoptosis (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling) and proliferation (Ki67)]. Mammary alveoli number and connective tissue were visualized ...Continue Reading
