A survey regarding crop enterprise management, forages cost of production, dairy cattle management including reproductive housing, heat abatement, body condition scoring, nutrition, grouping strategies, and income over feed performance, was carried out from December 2016 to January 2018 on 50 farms by the Department Animal Science, Food Nutrition Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Piacenza, Italy). total 41 herds (82%) completed survey. Average herd size 327 ± 162 lactating cows with...
During the transition period, which comprises three weeks prepartum until 3 postpartum, dairy cows experience a state of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Because energy consumed by cow is not enough to meet required for milk production, adipose tissue mobilized provides source tissues like liver. However, excessive release fatty acids from impairs liver function. Furthermore, high plasma concentrations (NEFA) contribute stress uncontrolled inflammatory responses often leading...
The nutritional status of dairy cows is tightly-correlated to the maintenance proper immune function and health. Methionine (Met), besides being one first-limiting amino acids, has stimulatory effects on cells both directly indirectly as a source antioxidants. objective this study was investigate effect supplementing Met or choline its potential precursor neutrophil gene expression. Blood neutrophils were isolated from five lactating multiparous Holstein (153 ± 5 DIM, 34.6 2.7 kg/d average...
