The effect of prepartum anionic diets on cortisol, adiponectin, and tumour necrosis factor-α expression at varying levels of body mass index in preparturient dairy cows: implications for insulin resistance

Creator:

Puntenney, Steven B.

Abstract:

Twenty-six Holstein and 18 Jersey multiparous cows in a randomized block design were assigned by calving date and breed to a non-anionic prepartum diet (CTRL) or a treatment diet containing a commercial anionic salt supplement (Animate®). Control and treatment diets were formulated to a dietary anion-cation difference (DCAD) of 21.3...
