Connecting Transition Cow Physiology, Behavior, and Nutrition
In the past, efforts to improve the transition to lactation have focused largely on preventing infections and maximizing energy intake in transition cows, and these have generally been treated as independent issues. However, new models are emerging to explain the development of numerous transition disorders. A combination of insults, including social stress, negative energy balance, heat stress...
متن کاملAssessing Transition Cow Management and Performance
Introduction In order to achieve high reproductive efficiency and high milk production, herds must properly manage the entire non‐lactating period and early lactation. We refer to this time period as The Vital 90TM Days and it begins approximately 60 days before calving and continues through the first 30 days of lactation. During this time, dairy cows are exposed to a series of biological and p...

متن کاملOptimizing the Transition Cow Management System on Commercial Dairy Farms
Nutrition and management of the transition cow continues to attract substantial research attention. Despite the tremendous quantity of research conducted on nutrition and physiology of transition cows, the transition period remains a problematic area on many commercial dairy farms, and metabolic disorders continue to occur at economically important rates (Burhans et al., 2003). Data recently su...
