An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of prepartum plane of energy intake on
metabolic profiles related to lipid metabolism and health in blood and liver. Primiparous (n …

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of plane of energy intake prepartum on
postpartum performance. Primiparous (n= 24) and multiparous (n= 23) Holsteins were …

The fatty acyl profile of phospholipids (PL) determines the fluidity of cell membranes and
affects cell function. The degree to which long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) composition of PL and …

Twenty-six multiparous Holstein cows were used to examine the effects of prepartum energy
and protein intake on periparturient metabolism and lactation performance. Two levels of …

To determine if increased nutrient density in prepartum diets improves nutrient balance of
peripartum cows, we blocked 40 Holstein cows and 40 heifers by expected date of …

Objectives were to examine the effects of feeding to alter body condition at calving on
subsequent full lactation production performance and feed intake, on BW and periparturient …

Previous research in our laboratory showed that dietary fat supplementation during the dry
period was associated with decreased peripartum hepatic lipid accumulation. However, fat …

Nutritional management during the dry period may affect susceptibility of cows to metabolic
and infectious diseases during the periparturient period. Thirty-five multiparous Holstein …

Our objectives were to determine if dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) and source of
anions influence periparturient feed intake and milk production of dairy cattle during the …

Sixty-seven Holstein replacement heifers (19 mo) were fed a standard (59.7% TDN) or a
high energy (69.3% TDN) diet until parturition. After parturition, primiparous cows were fed …
