Association of subclinical hypocalcemia dynamics with dry matter intake, milk yield, and blood minerals during the periparturient period.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2021
Subclinical hypocalcemia (SCH) affects many high-producing dairy cows in the postpartum period. Recent work has shown that cows experiencing prolonged or delayed SCH are at increased risk for disease and produce less milk than cows experiencing a ...

Rumination Time Monitoring as a Possible Tool to Improve Diagnostics of Heat and Parturition

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2020
Rumination time is one of possible parameters for observing not only feed management and health status, but also some reproductive characteristics such as heat or periparturient period. The evaluation of rumination time in this study was done on Holstein

Prepartum plane of energy intake affects serum biomarkers for inflammation and liver function during the periparturient period.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022
Serum collected from multiparous Holsteins (n = 73) in a previous experiment was used to determine the effect of prepartum plane of energy intake on metabolites related to inflammation and liver function in periparturient cows.

Shifting sows: longitudinal changes in the periparturient faecal microbiota of primiparous and multiparous sows

Animal, 2021
Knowledge of periparturient longitudinal changes in sow microbiota composition is necessary to fully understand her role in the development of the piglet microbiota, but also to improve gut health and performance of the sow in lactation. Primiparous sows

Udder Health in the Periparturient Period

Journal of Dairy Science, 1988
The periparturient period is associated with rapid differentiation of secretory parenchyma, intense mammary growth, copious synthesis and secretion, and marked accumulation of colostrum and milk. Udder health during this time is an important factor associated with the production of maximum quantities of high quality milk.

Effects of Prepartum Dietary Energy Level and Nicotinic Acid Supplementation on Immunological, Hematological and Biochemical Parameters of Periparturient Dairy Cows Differing in Parity

Animals, 2015
The periparturient period is critical according to health, productivity and profitability. As this period is fundamental for the success of the lactation period, the interest in improving periparturient health by dietary supplements increased in recent ...

Periparturient mortality in merino ewes in Australia: Incidence, impact and the path to mitigation strategies. [PDF]

Aust Vet J
Managing breeding ewe mortality is a priority for the Australian sheep industry. The periparturient period carries the highest risk of mortality, but the incidence and causes in Merino ewes are not well characterised. Here, we outline the reported incidence of annual and periparturient mortality for Australian Merino ewes, causes and risk factors for ...

Peripartal Rumen-Protected L-Carnitine Manipulates the Productive and Blood Metabolic Responses in High-Producing Holstein Dairy Cows

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
This study aimed to monitor the effect of including rumen-protected L-carnitine (Carneon 20 Rumin-Pro, Kaesler Nutrition GmbH, Cuxhaven, Germany) in the transition diet on the productive and metabolic responses of multiparous high-producing Holstein ...
