Inflammation and delayed oral calcium supplementation: Associations with milk yield, reproduction, and herd removal in multiparous Holstein dairy cows.

Lactational performance and plasma and muscle amino acid concentrations in dairy cows fed diets supplying 2 levels of digestible histidine and metabolizable protein

ABSTRACT: The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of dietary levels of digestible histidine (dHis) and MP on lactational performance and plasma and muscle concentrations of free AA in dairy cows. A randomized block de...

Prediction of metabolic status of dairy cows in early lactation using milk fatty acids and test-day variables

ABSTRACT: Early lactation metabolic imbalance is an important physiological change affecting the health, production, and reproduction of dairy cows. The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the potential of test-day (TD) variables with o...

Alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites contribute to metabolic maladaptation in dairy cows during the development of hyperketonemia

ABSTRACTMetabolic maladaptation in dairy cows after calving can lead to long-term elevation of ketones, such as β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), representing the condition known as hyperketonemia, which greatly influences the health and production ...

Unsupervised clustering identifies candidate metabolic profiles, including an acidotic profile detectable before calving, in periparturient dairy cows.
