Effect of prepartum dietary cation-anion difference strategy and level of dietary calcium on postpartum blood calcium status and milk production of multiparous Holstein cows

Effect of prepartum dietary cation-anion difference strategy and level of dietary calcium on postpartum blood calcium status and milk production of multiparous Holstein cows

ABSTRACT: Hypocalcemia in dairy cows can be mitigated by manipulating prepartum DCAD. What remains unclear is the degree to which DCAD diets should be implemented and the appropriate level of dietary Ca to be fed in conjunction with negative DCAD. This study examined 2 prepartum DCAD levels, 2 prepa...
