The glucose metabolism is of major interest in all living mammals because certain vitally
important cell types (erythrocytes, brain cells, and kidney cells) have to rely on glucose as …

Feed and energy intake of ruminant animals can change dramatically in response to
changes in diet composition or metabolic state, and such changes are poorly predicted by …

During the transition period, dairy cows undergo large metabolic adaptations in glucose,
fatty acid, and mineral metabolism to support lactation and avoid metabolic dysfunction. The …

Dairy cows undergo tremendous metabolic and physiological adaptations around parturition
to support lactation. The liver is central to many of these processes, including …

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 …

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of far-off and close-up diets on
prepartum metabolism, postpartum metabolism, and postpartum performance of multiparous …

The metabolic response to different feeding levels during the dry period was studied in 24
multiparous dairy cows of the Swedish Red and White breed. The cows represented two …

Metabolic profiles are widely used to monitor health, reproductive status and nutritional
status. In the last few years, the evaluation of oxidative stress has contributed increasingly to …

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 …

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