Prevalence of and Risk-Factors for Intramammary Infection in Pasture-Grazed Dairy Heifers in Late Gestation

Mastitis is a common infectious disease in dairy cattle, and is among the most economically damaging animal health problem producers face. Mastitis in dairy heifers is recognised as a distinct problem from that in older cows because of the different pattern of disease (Barkema, Schukken et al. 999; Valde, Lawson et al. 004) and unique factors that determine its occurrence (Waage, Sviland et al....

Mammary histology and alveolar cell differentiation during late gestation and early lactation in mammary tissue of beef and dairy heifers

Quantitative histology of mammary parenchymal tissue from 16 Hereford and 16 Holstein heifers was determined for tissue obtained on day 150, 180, and 280 of gestation and on day 49 of lactation. Percent area occupied by stromal tissue was progressively decreased on each consecutive sample day during gestation in Herefords and was lower in both breeds during lactation. Overall, area occupied by ...

Relationship between Early Lactation BCS and Mid-Lactation Feed Efficiency in Dairy Cattle

and Implications The relationships between body condition score (BCS) observed during the first 45 days of lactation and two measures of feed efficiency, residual feed intake (RFI) and gross efficiency (GE) defined as milk energy / DMI, measured during mid-lactation were assessed in 255 first lactation Holstein cows. No significant differences in BCS at calving and at approximately 40 days in m...

Energy intake in late gestation affects blood metabolites in early lactation independently of milk production in dairy cows.

The present experiment examined the effect of offering either a high- (H) or low- (L) energy-density diet in late gestation and early lactation on physiological parameters, body condition score (BCS) and milk production in early lactation. In all, 40 multiparous Holstein cows were randomly allocated to one of four treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial design, where the factors were H- or L-energy den...

Role of Chromium in Dairy Cattle Nutrition

Chromium (Cr) is an essential trace element for humans (Anderson, 1992) and laboratory animals (NRC, 1997). It is the trivalent form of the molecule that is active biologically, the hexavalent form is actually toxic to many animal cells (NRC, 1997). Chromium acts through a protein, once named glucose tolerance factor (GTF), now more commonly referred to as the glucose transporter. This protein ...
