Results from 4 studies were combined (representing a total of 500 lactations) to investigate
the relationships between metabolic parameters and fertility in dairy cows. Information was …

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 objectives were to evaluate the effects of dietary fish oil on plasma metabolite, hepatic
fatty acid composition, and total triacylglycerol concentrations. Multiparous Holstein cows …

Path analysis and logistic regression were used to model direct and indirect relationships
among clinical periparturient (within 30 d after calving) retained placenta, metritis, veterinary …

To overcome negative energy balance during the peripartal period of sows, an ad libitum
feeding strategy (ADLIB) as alternative for commonly used restricted feeding (STANDARD …

The objective of this research was to determine whether different dry matter intakes (DMI) or
forage percentages prepartum would have an impact on postpartum performance …

Ten crossbred sows were used per treatment to determine production and composition of
milk and litter growth. Treatment 1 consisted of a basal diet plus animal fat from d 109 of …

Cows experience some degree of negative energy balance and immunosuppression
around parturition, making them vulnerable to metabolic and infectious diseases. The effect …

This study compared the effects of two levels of crude protein (CP) fed during late gestation
on the performance, blood metabolites, and ovarian activity of Holstein cows. One-hundred …

Simple Summary Complex pathways of metabolic adaptation occur in high-yielding dairy
cows around calving. These adaptations require the redirection of nutrients to support the …
