Abstract
The effects of daily supplementation of 1000 IU of either d-alpha-toco pherol acetate or dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate to Holstein cows from dr ying off to 8 wk post-partum on plasma creatine kinase and selenium le vels in plasma and red blood cells were studied. Supplementation with either d-alpha-tocopherol acetate or dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate showe d no effect on selenium levels in both plasma and red blood cells. How ever, supplementation with d-alpha-tocopherol acetate, but not dl-alph a-tocopherol acetate decreased plasma creatine kinase significantly (P < 0.05) prior to parturition.
