accompanied by marked physiological, metabolic, and inflammatory adjustments. The entire …

Dairy cattle are susceptible to increased incidence of metabolic and infectious diseases
during the physiologic transition from late pregnancy to early lactation. Dramatic changes in …

Dairy cows pass through a period of negative energy balance as they transition from late

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 …

Our aim in this Journal of Dairy Science centennial review is to describe the evolution of
focus on metabolic indicators, from discovery and description to evaluation at the individual …

Increased incidence of several economically important diseases (ie mastitis, metritis,
displaced abomasum and ketosis) causes significant animal welfare problems and …

All dairy cows visit a state of negative energy balance (NEB) as they transition from late

in the reproductive tract of dairy cows during the first 2 months after calving. The incidence of …

The purpose of this study was to develop a deterministic economic model to estimate the
costs associated with (1) the component cost per case of hyperketonemia (HYK) and (2) the …

Up to half of dairy cows are affected by at least one of metritis, purulent vaginal discharge,
