- Effects of an allostatic modulator on the behavior and blood indicators of young bulls after transport Maria Salud Rubio Lozano Rubén Danilo Méndez Medina Karla Reyes Mayorga Maria Elena Rubio García Tania Manu Ngapo Karen F. Mancera Francisco Aurelio Galindo Maldonado Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) beef allostasis animal behavior blood stress indicators An allostatic modulator (AM) composed of ascorbic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, sodium chloride and potassium chloride was dissolved in the drinking water of three groups of young bulls (n = 7) and administered to them for 7 d after 20.42 h of transport (Control (C) = 0 g/head/d, G2 = 30 g/head/d, G3 = 60 g/head/d). The effects of the AM on behavior and blood cellular and biochemical components were measured. G3 animals spent less time lying and more time standing than C animals (P = 0.001 and P = 0.02, respectively), indicating less fatigue. G3 bulls presented a lower frequency of agonistic interactions than those in the G2 group (P = 0.001), suggesting a possible effect on aggression that warrants further evaluation. The AM affected creatinine kinase (CK) activity in the G2 group compared to the C group (P = 0.04), suggesting an effect of AM components that has not been previously reported. Cortisol levels remained unaffected by AM supplementation (P = 0.55). These preliminary findings suggest an effect of supplementing cattle with an AM after long-haul transport. 2018 artículo científico 0301-5092 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42371698001 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/423/42371698001/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/423/42371698001/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/423/42371698001/42371698001.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/423/42371698001/movil 10.22201/fmvz.24486760e.2018.4.539 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=423 Veterinaria México application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Veterinaria México (México) Num.4 Vol.5
