Milk production of dairy cows has increased markedly during recent decades and continues
to increase further. The evolutionarily conserved direction of nutrients to the mammary gland …

Shortening or omitting the dry period improves the energy balance and metabolic status of
dairy cows in early lactation. Metabolic, behaviour and welfare effects throughout lactation …

Drying-off, calving, and start of lactation are critical transition events for a dairy cow. As a
consequence, most animal health issues occur during these periods. By extending the …

ABSTRACT A 1-yr calving interval (CInt) is usually associated with maximized milk output,
due to the calving-related peak in milk yield. Extending CInt could benefit cow health and …

Shortening or omitting the dry period (DP) can improve the energy balance of dairy cows in
early lactation through a decrease in milk yield after calving. Little is known about the effect …

While there is generally no consensus about how nutrients determine milk synthesis in the
mammary gland, it is likely that the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) …

Omitting the dry period (DP) generally reduces milk production in the subsequent lactation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary energy source—glucogenic (G) or …

Shortening or omitting the dry period to improve the energy balance in early lactation have
the trade-offs of reduction in milk production and loss of opportunity for dry-cow therapy …

The gravitational field of the Earth reflects its inner structure and dynamics. Satellite
gravimetry techniques have been used to observe the Earth's external gravitational field and …

Shortening or omitting the dry period of dairy cows improves metabolic health in early
lactation and reduces management transitions for dairy cows. The success of …
