1. Introduction Dairy cows have to afford several endocrine, metabolic, reproductive, and immunological challenges during the productive cycle. These challenges are particularly pronounced during the transition period (TP), when cows experience a reduction in dry matter intake (DMI), leading to negative energy balance (NEB), lipomobilization, and body mass loss. This metabolic stress occurs alongside drastic changes in hormone concentrations, decreased blood calcium levels, and...

Dairy cows are often thought of as metabolic super athletes, requiring hard work and a herculean effort to achieve high milk production. In reality, it’s just the opposite. Productivity is an expression of health and vitality, not a result of the cow working under stress. Put a cow in a healthy environment, provide adequate nutrition and they’ll fully express their genetic potential in the form of exceptional milk production. Instead of involving hard...

Introduction Trace minerals exist in cells and tissues of the body in a variety of chemical combinations and characteristic concentrations, depending on the trace mineral consumed and the tissue in which the trace mineral is metabolized (McDowell, 1992; Underwood and Suttle, 1999). Concentrations of trace minerals must be maintained within narrow limits in a cell (McDowell, 1989, 1992; Underwood and Suttle, 1999). Trace mineral deficiencies, toxicities, and imbalances require the...

Introduction Animal production faces serious challenges, having to feed a growing population while dealing with increased competition for land, climate change and having to take a more sustainable approach. Sustainable agriculture requires us to meet society’s present needs without compromising the ability for current, or future generations, to meet their needs. The effectiveness by which an animal is capable to transform feed biomass into animal products determines the amount...

Multiple EAA drive milk protein production in dairy cows, including His, Ile, Leu, Lys, Met, and Thr. Therefore, determining bioavailability of rumen-protected AA (RPAA) is essential for optimal EAA supply. We aimed to evaluate bioavailability of lipid-encapsulated prototypes of His, Ile, Lys, Met, and Thr and an isopropyl ester of 2-hydroxy-4- (methylthio) butanoic acid (HMBi). Six Holstein heifers (518 ± 28 kg BW) were allocated in a 6 × 8 Youden square design, with 8 periods...

With the recent withdrawal of Kexxtone from the European market, dairy farmers are seeking new solutions for managing the challenging transition period of dairy cows. ReaShure®-XC Precision Release Choline and NiaShure™ Precision Release Niacin offer an innovative and comprehensive approach to improving cow health, increasing milk production, and promoting calf health and productivity. Both products can help support transition cow health, resulting in a significant return on...

Chel means CLAW in Greek. The Mineral needs a support to CLAW itself. This support is provided by Amino Acids and this organic support is called LIGAND in chemistry. Amino Acids have a very low molecular weight and can be absorbed easily through the walls of the intestine and hence are most preferred ligands for chelation. ...

Dry period heat stress significantly reduces milk yield in the subsequent lactation in cows. Altered methylation patterns in mammary tissues is associated with the decline in milk yield. We hypothesized that as a methyl donor, choline (RPC) supplementation reverses similar patterns of methylation and thus productivity in heat-stressed dams. Late-gestation Holstein cows (n = 51) housed in freestall barns were enrolled to either heat stress (HT, n = 12), HT with RPC (HTC, n = 11), cooling (CL,...

Our objective was to evaluate changes in choline metabolism including bacterial degradation to trimethylamine (TMA), methyl group transfer, and bioavailability in pregnant and lactating cows. Six multiparous, rumen-cannulated Holstein cows were enrolled in a study design where they were abomasally infused 18 g/d choline chloride (CC; dissolved in water; 170 mL/h) for a 5-d experimental period at −3 wk from expected due date and again at 2 wk postpartum. The stable-isotope...
