note = {This study was undertaken to characterize the concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp) and leptin throughout the entire lactation period, to investigate the effect of long-term conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) supplementation on Hp and leptin in dairy cows, to examine the presence of Hp in bovine adipose tissue (AT), and to examine the effect of moderate feed restriction and re-feeding on Hp and leptin in non-lactating heifers. Samples from four different studies were used in this work. The first experiment “CLA-252 days in milk (DIM)” comprised heifers and cows observed from day (d) 21 ante partum (AP) until d 252 post partum (PP), receiving two doses of rumen-protected CLA supplementation (50 and 100 g/d, d 1 - 182 PP) versus a corresponding control group. A further experiment “CLA-post mortem (PM)-105 DIM” was done in heifers observed from d 21 AP until d 105 PP receiving either no CLA or 100 g/d CLA (d 1 - 105 PP). The CLA supplementation included equal proportions of each the t-10, c-12 and the c-9, t-11 isomer. The third experiment “Concentrate-roughage ratio” was conducted (d 21 AP - d 21 PP) using cows that received diets with either a concentrate-to-roughage ratio (dry matter basis (DM)) of 30:70% (low-concentrate group) or 60:40% (high-concentrate group) after calving. The fourth experiment “Fat heifers restriction” was performed using non-lactating heifers fed either grass silage (100%) or grass silage diluted with straw (37:63 on DM basis). The physiological changes of Hp in the CLA-252 DIM experiment were related to parity and parturition. The concentrations of Hp were higher in heifers than in cows during the first week PP. The concentrations of Hp peaked around calving and decreased afterwards in both parity groups and CLA experiments. Long-term feeding of dairy cows with CLA had no effect on the concentrations of serum Hp. The animals in the concentrate-roughage ratio study had lower concentrations of Hp compared to those in the CLA studies. The immunohistochemistry and Western immunoblotting methods indicated the presence of Hp in bovine AT. The physiological changes in the concentrations of leptin in the CLA-252 DIM experiment were limited to parturition. Long-term feeding of dairy cows with CLA left the concentrations of leptin unaffected. The fat heifers restriction study indicated that neither Hp nor leptin concentrations were affected by the change in energy content of the ration fed. In conclusion, long-term feeding of dairy cows with CLA left the concentrations of Hp and leptin unaffected. The presence of Hp in bovine AT indicates that Hp can be classified as an adipokine in cattle. The lack of an evident relation between Hp and body fatness makes Hp irrelevant as an adiposity marker for ruminants.},
