Following parturition, it is typical for dairy cows to enter a period of negative energy balance
and body condition loss to support mammary milk synthesis; this is associated with …

Plasma glucose concentration during late gestation was thought to be important for the
development of fatty liver near parturition. Thirteen multiparous cows were given a 1-L oral …

Forty dry pregnant multiparous Holstein cows housed in a free stall barn on a commercial
dairy were blocked and assigned randomly to treatments to evaluate the effect of feeding an …

Mechanisms regulating subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) insulin sensitivity and gene
network expression during the peripartal period were evaluated in cows fed to meet or …

During the dry period, cows were either fed restricted amounts or were overfed to study
lipolytic rates in adipose tissue. Higher lipolytic rates can result in greater accumulation of …

Fifty-two multiparous dairy cows were allocated to 4 treatments consuming 5.4, 8.2, 10.0, or
11.0 kg/d of pasture dry matter per cow for 27±9.6 d precalving. This equated to 1.3, 1.9, 2.4 …

In order to determine the effects of a varied level of dietary energy intake during pregnancy
and lactation on milk yield and composition, first, second and fourth parity sows (Large …

Objectives were to evaluate the effect of prepartum energy intake on performance of dairy
cows supplemented with or without ruminally protected choline (RPC; 0 or 17.3 g/d of …

The objective of this experiment was to study dry matter intake (DMI), body condition, milk
yield, and milk composition in cows with different body condition at the time of parturition …

The objective was to investigate the effect of different dry cow feeding strategies on the
degree of ketonemia postpartum. Epidemiologic studies provide evidence of an association …
