Simple Summary Metabolic disorders are a key problem in the transition period of dairy
cows and often appear before the onset of further health problems. Problems derive from …

The term 'metabolic profile'refers to the analysis of blood biochemical parameters that are
useful to assess and prevent metabolic and nutritional disorders in dairy herds. In the higher …

Adipose tissue (AT) expands through both hyperplasia and hypertrophy. During
adipogenesis, adipose stromal and progenitor cells (ASPC) proliferate and then accumulate …

Excessive mobilization of body reserves during the transition from pregnancy to lactation
imposes a risk for metabolic diseases on dairy cows. We aimed to establish an experimental …

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

Blood indicators are used as a tool to diagnose metabolic disorders. The present review
aims to study the relationships between body condition score, milk yield, and reproduction …

Post‐parturient insulin resistance (IR) is a common feature in all mammalian animals.
However, in dairy cows, it can be exacerbated because of high milk yield, leading to …

Enhanced postruminal supply of Met during the periparturient period increases dry matter
intake and milk yield. In nonruminants, adipose tissue is responsive to AA supply, and can …

Adiponectin, one of the messenger molecules secreted from adipose tissue that are
collectively termed adipokines, has been demonstrated to play a central role in lipid and …

The immune system is particularly challenged in transition cows as marked physiological
changes occur in this period which are driven by late gestation, partus and onset of lactation …
