Simple Summary The reasons for the development of diseases in the transition period of
dairy cows are manifold and highly farm-and cow-specific. Nevertheless, links exist between …

Milk production in dairy cows increases worldwide since many decades. With rising milk
yields, however, potential limiting factors are increasingly discussed. Particularly, the …

In mammals, excess energy is stored primarily as triglycerides, which are mobilized when
energy demands arise and cannot be covered by feed intake. This review mainly focuses on …
