AB  - Thirty-six pregnant Holstein(-)Friesian cows were used to study the effect of Yerba 
      Mate (YM) supplementation during the dry period on redox balance. The treatments 
      groups were Control (no YM), YM 250 (250 g/cow/day), and YM 500 (500 g/cow/day). 
      Blood samples were obtained 30 days prepartum, at calving, and monthly postpartum 
      until four months post calving. Liveweight (LW) and body condition score (BCS) 
      were assessed prepartum, at calving, and then postpartum monthly until the end of 
      the trial. Plasma was analyzed for hydroperoxides (d-ROMs), advanced oxidation 
      protein products (AOPP), and biological antioxidant potential (BAP). The 
      oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated as OSI = ROMs/BAP x 100. Cows were 
      milked twice daily, and milk yield data were recorded daily. Redox balance was 
      improved by YM supplementation, as reflected in the lower OSI values observed in 
      the YM groups. Yerba Mate supplementation significantly affected LW, but did not 
      affect BCS. Milk yield averaged 28.1 +/- 0.40, 29.0 +/- 0.48, and 29.9 +/- 0.46 
      L/cow/day in the Control, YM 250, and YM 500 groups, respectively, but was not 
      significant. Nutritional manipulation during the dry period with Yerba Mate has 
      demonstrated the potential to improve redox balance and milk yield.
