Grazing cows undergo a similar degree of metabolic stress and immune dysregulation to those reported in high-yielding housed cows consuming total mixed rations, but the ability to manage daily nutrient intake is much less. Feed quality vari...
Metabolic Factors at the Crossroads of Periparturient Immunity and Inflammation [0.03%]
代谢因素在围产期免疫和炎症的交汇点上的作用

Periparturient cows have the highest risk for disease and culling in the adult dairy herd. This risk is compounded by the multiple physiological changes of metabolism and immune function occurring around calving that alter the cow's inflamm...

Urolithiasis is a multifactorial disease of male ruminants causing significant economic loss and compromise of animal welfare. Known risk factors include anatomic factors, urine pH, water intake, dietary composition, and genetic factors. Cl...
Methods of Evaluating the Potential Success or Failure of Transition Dairy Cows [0.03%]
评估过渡期奶牛潜在成功或失败的方法

Matteo Mezzetti
Early monitoring of the failure of metabolic adaptation to calving, represents the most effective measure for allowing a prompt intervention on transition dairy cows. This prevents deleterious effects on animal performance, health, and welf...
Hyperketonemia: A Marker of Disease, a Sign of a High-Producing Dairy Cow, or Both? [0.03%]
生酮病是疾病的标志还是高产奶牛的特征亦或是二者兼有？

Beef cattle are less prone to metabolic diseases as compared with dairy cattle; however, there are disease entities of concern in feedlot and cow-calf beef cattle operations. In one study, a prevalence of 2% was found for ruminant acidosis ...

Hepatic lipidosis (ie, fatty liver) occurs primarily during the first weeks of lactation in dairy cows because of excessive lipolysis overwhelming the concomitant capacity for beta-oxidation and hepatic export of triglycerides. Besides econ...
