Monitoring the effects of oxidative stress on the growth of Holstein bull calves using Diquat by Ting Liu, Huan Chen, Dongzhu Cairang, Shuru Cheng, Shuru Cheng, Zhihao Luo, Ming Zhang, David P. Casper, David P. Casper

“…Fecal Escherichia coli concentrations demonstrated a cubic response (p < 0.01), while Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella-Shigella demonstrated linear increases (p < 0.01) with increasing Diquat dosages.ConclusionDiquat injection induced oxidative stress, leading to reduced growth performance, along with increased serum oxidative stress indices, fecal scores, and fecal pathogens, a response that may persist for up to 24 days. An optimal dosage of 8 mg/kg BW is proposed as a benchmark for elucidating oxidative stress to evaluate future technologies aimed at reducing, eliminating, or preventing oxidative stress.…”
