Data from recent publications on bovine milk lipids are presented and discussed. This
includes extraction of lipids, triacylglycerols, phospholipids, other complex lipids, sterols …

Feeding diets high in grain and other highly fermentable carbohydrates to dairy cows
increases milk production, but also increases the risk of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) …

Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is likely to arise when an easily palatable, high‐energy
diet meets a ruminal environment not adapted to this type of substrate. Increase of short …

Volatile fatty acids (VFA) and lactic acid can build up in the rumen and reduce ruminal pH.
Low ruminal pH for prolonged periods each day can affect feed intake, microbial metabolism …

The main objective of this study was to develop practical models to assess and predict the
adequacy of dietary fiber in high-yielding dairy cows. We used quantitative methods to …

Variation in site of digestion and lactation performance among lactating dairy cows fed
different grain sources was evaluated and reviewed. The enzymatic assay for starch …

Effects of conservation method of corn grain and dietary starch concentration on dry matter
intake (DMI) and productivity of lactating dairy cows were evaluated. Eight ruminally and …

The objectives of the present study were to examine the effect of a milk fat–depressing
(MFD) diet on: 1) the activity of mammary acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid …

Prepartum diets influence cow performance for weeks to months postpartum. This
observation leads to questions about milk yield and physiological and health responses to …

Ruminal acidosis occurs as a continuum of disorders, stemming from ruminal dysbiosis and
disorders of metabolism, of varying severity. The condition has a marked temporal dynamic …
