Skin carotenoid levels in lactating dairy cows as measured using multiple spatially resolved reflection spectroscopy [PDF]

, 2023
This research communication describes a pilot study measuring skin carotenoid levels of lactating dairy cows. Carotenoids are natural antioxidants, involved in cell communication and immune function, protecting against oxidative stress.
