Abstract：The experiment aimed to investigate the effects of compound Chinese herbal medicine on serum biochemical indexes,immune,and antioxidant function in perinatal dairy cows.A total of 40 healthy perinatal cows with 2～5 parity and similar age and physical condition were selected and randomly divided into two groups,with 20 replicates per group and one cow per replicate.The control group was fed a basal diet,while the experimental group was fed the basal diet supplemented with 50 g/(head·d)of compound Chinese herbal medicine.The trial started 35 days before the expected calving date,with a pre-test period of seven days and a formal test period of 21 days.Serum samples were collected on the 21st and 7th days before delivery and on the 14th and 21st days after delivery respectively to determine the relevant indicators.The results showed that compared with the control group,on the 14th and 21st days after delivery,the concentrations of serum immunoglobulin G(IgG)and immunoglobulin M(IgM),and the activities of glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)of cows in the experimental group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the malondialdehyde(MDA)and β-hydroxybutyrate(BHBA)concentrations were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the glucose(GLU)content was extremely increased(P＜0.01).On the 21st day after delivery,the activities of alkaline phosphatase(ALP),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The study indicates that compound Chinese herbal medicine can enhance immune function and antioxidant capacity,improve energy metabolism,maintain liver function,and reduce the incidence of postpartum diseases in perinatal dairy cows,thereby promoting their health.
