Objectives were to determine the effects of feeding whole linted Upland (WUP) and cracked Pima cottonseed (BUPCP) to lactating cows on plasma gossypol concentrations and lactation performance. Holstein cows (n = 813) from three commercial dairies were assigned to one of two diets starting at 13 ± 11 d in milk (DIM) for a 170-d experimental period. Cottonseed was included at 10% of the diet dry matter, and treatments consisted of replacing WUP with a 1:2 blend of BUPCP. Blood was collected from all cows at 61 and 91 DIM and from a subset of 56 cows on one dairy at 10, 33, 61, 91, 120, and 152 DIM. Intakes of free gossypol increased 32% in cows receiving the BUPCP diet, and concentrations of total gossypol (TG), as well as the proportion of TG as minus (-) isomer in plasma, were higher for cows fed BUPCP than WUP. Plasma TG increased linearly with increasing DIM, but cows fed the BUPCP, especially multiparous cows, had a higher increase in plasma TG over time. Yields of milk and milk components did not differ between the two treatments, although, yields of milk and milk components were greater in cows with higher plasma TG. Replacement of WUP cottonseed with BUPCP cottonseed increased plasma gossypol, but dry matter intake and yields of milk and milk components were not affected.
