Abstract Dairy goats experience metabolic stress during the peripartal period, and their ability to navigate this stage of lactation is related occurrence development diseases. Unlike dairy cows, there a lack comprehensive analysis changes in plasma profiles goats, particularly using high-throughput techniques. A subset 9 clinically-healthy were used from cohort 96 primiparous Guanzhong (BCS, 2.75 ± 0.15). Blood samples collected at seven time points around parturition (d 21, 14, 7 before...
Fatty liver syndrome, a common health problem in dairy cows, occurs during the transition from pregnancy to lactation. If energy supplied cow's body cannot meet its needs, negative balance ensues, and direct response is fat mobilization. Nicotinamide (NAM) has been reported reduce nonesterified fatty acid concentration of postpartum plasma. To study biochemical adaptations underlying this physiologic dysregulation, 12 cows were sequentially assigned NAM (45 g/day) treatment or control group....
