Introduction: Improved energy balance, metabolic status, and natural antibodies (NAb) has been shown in
cows with no dry period, however these cows showed increased inflammation status in early lactation. The
aim of this study was to determine the association between plasma natural antibodies and inflammatory
biomarkers in cows with no dry period during the first two weeks postpartum. Methods: Holstein-Friesian
dairy cows (n=55) were selected. Before enroll to the experiment, cows were clinically healthy. Plasma samples
were collected at week 1 and 2 after calving and were analyzed for NAb binding megantura-keyhole
limpet hemocyanin and inflammatory biomarkers. Results: Cows with no dry period in this
study had an improved energy balance and maintain NAb titers but increased ceruloplasmin
(inflammatory biomarkers) in early lactation. In this study we found a significant correlation between
NAb IgG binding KLH and haptoglobin in plasma (P<0.01). However, there were no correlations between
albumin, cholesterol and NAb (IgG and IgM) binding KLH. Conclusion: This study demonstrate
that cows with no dry period have an improved energy balance and maintained the level of natural antibodies
in plasma. Moreover, IgG titers in plasma might be correlated with haptoglobin due to inflammation during
calving until 2 wk postpartum.
