Effects of altering prepartum and postpartum dietary cation–anion difference on calcium concentrations and blood metabolites of Holstein dairy cows
We determined effects of pre‐ and postpartum dietary cation–anion difference (DCAD) on urine pH, serum calcium and hormone concentrations, and milk production with 48 multiparous Holstein cows (average body weight = 706 ± 7.3 kg). Treatments were 3 prepartum DCAD concentrations (0, −100, or −180 mEq...

Zusammenfassung: | We determined effects of pre‐ and postpartum dietary cation–anion difference (DCAD) on urine pH, serum calcium and hormone concentrations, and milk production with 48 multiparous Holstein cows (average body weight = 706 ± 7.3 kg). Treatments were 3 prepartum DCAD concentrations (0, −100, or −180 mEq/kg dry matter [DM]) and 2 postpartum DCAD concentrations (+250 or +350 mEq/kg DM) starting 29 days before parturition through 90 days in milk. Prepartum urine pH was lower (p |
