Elevated concentrations of plasma fatty acids in transition dairy cows are significantly
associated with increased disease susceptibility and poor lactation performance. The main …

Excessive adipose tissue (AT) lipolysis around parturition in dairy cows is associated with
impaired AT insulin sensitivity and increased incidence of metabolic diseases …

Increasing milk production requires increasing milking frequency (MF) from two times daily
(2X) to three (3X) or more. High milk production leads to negative energy balance (NEB) and …

The challenge of getting dairy cows pregnant during early lactation is a well-described,
worldwide problem. However, specifically in farms with poor reproductive, nutritional, and …

High energy intake in the dry period has reportedly had adverse effects on mobilization of
body reserves, dry matter intake, and productivity of dairy cows. We investigated whether …

We assessed whether high energy intake during the early dry period [144% of
metabolizable energy (ME) requirements/d] followed by a gradual restriction of energy …

The success of herd fertility involves the development of healthy follicles, viable oocytes and
embryos capable of establishing and maintaining a pregnancy. Herein we discuss how …

The aim of the present study was to point at the limitations of glucose tolerance tests (GTT) to
assess peripheral tissue insulin sensitivity in dairy heifers in different physiological states …

Feed additives are included into finishing diets to improve cattle growth and feed efficiency,
resulting in enhanced productivity and profitability in feedlot systems. Yeast-derived …

This study evaluated productive and physiological responses in feedlot cattle receiving a
finishing diet that included Ca salts of palm oil (CSPALM), or a blend of Ca salts of palm …
