 Abstract. The paper presents data regarding the impact of some trace mineral supplementation on milk production and quality parameters and also the status of some minerals in the serum of glycine chelated mineral supplemented dairy cows. The study was made on thirty Holstein multiparous dairy cows,  having arround 62 ± 4.5 months old divided randomly in two groups: C – Control receiving normal diet without glycine mineral supplementation and one experimental group (E) that received supplement of glycine chelated Cu, Zn, Mn and Fe as follows: 15 mg/kg Cu, 60 mg/kg Zn, 20 mg/kg Mn and, 100 mg/kg Fe, added in concentrate feed. The experiment starts from day 30 of lactation until day 100 of lactation and were assesed the milk production and milk quality parameters (milk fat, protein, lactose, freezing point and not-fat solids percentages, somatic cell count, total bacterial count), and serum levels of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and selenium (Se). In experimental group we observed significant (P≤0.05) increase of milk yield and fat, and a not significant (P≥0.05) increase of protein and not-fat solids (NFS) percentage, as well as a significant decrease of somatic cell count (SCC) and total bacterial count (TBC). The serum content of selected minerals in day 30, 65 and 100 of lactation we observed to be significantly (P≤0.05) increased for Se, Zn and Fe, especially in the day 100 of lactation and decreased for Cu and Mn. We can conclude that introduction of a chelated mineral supplement, could increase the milk production and the milk quality parameters.

Key words: milk parameters, dairy cows, supplements, minerals
