Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Schuermann et al characterizing metabolic parameters of dairy cows during the transition period is presented. Taken together, transition period features increasing cholesterol, triglycerides and decreasing glucose and glutathione compared to pre-calving period. Further studies, including liver function assays, are required to thoroughly investigate the relationship between liver health, reproductive health, and alterations in circulating metabolic indicators.
