Dairy cattle undergo dramatic metabolic, endocrine, physiologic and immune changes
during the peripartal period largely due to combined increases in energy requirements for …

Dairy calf nutrition is traditionally one of the most overlooked aspects of dairy management,
despite its large effect on the efficiency and profitability of dairy operations. Unfortunately …

Efficient production of heifers is fundamental to the productivity and sustainability of dairy
farms. However, high preweaning morbidity and mortality rates are frequently reported …

Simple Summary Prenatal nutrition can reshape an animal's developmental trajectory, with
persistent long-term consequences for the progeny. In prenatal life, the effects induced by …

Background Omega-3 PUFA or methionine (Met) supply during gestation alters offspring
physiology. However, the effect of both nutrients on fetal development has not been …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplying ruminally-protected lysine
(RPL), methionine (RPM), or the two in combination (RPML) to transition dairy cows on the …

Epigenetic modifiers (EM; methionine, choline, folate, and vitamin B12) are important for
early embryonic development due to their roles as methyl donors or cofactors in methylation …

The objective of this study was to determine the dose of folate and vitamin B12 in beef
heifers fed rumen protected methionine and choline required to maintain increased B12 …

Maternal supply of methyl donors such as methionine (Met) during late pregnancy can affect
offspring growth and development. The objective was to investigate the effect of postruminal …

Although choline requirements are unknown, enhanced postruminal supply may decrease
liver triacylglycerol (TAG) storage and increase flux through the methionine cycle, helping …
