Temporal dynamics of nutrient balance, plasma biochemical and immune traits, and liver function in transition dairy cows

The objective of this study was to analyze the dynamics of nutrient balance, physiological biomarkers and comprehensive indexes associated with metabolism and function of organs in transition cows. Fourteen transition cows were used for this research. Dietary intake was recorded daily, and samples of the diet, venous blood and milk were collected for measurements. The balance values of net energy for lactation (NEL), metabolizable protein (MP),...
