The progression from gestation into lactation represents the transition period, and it is
accompanied by marked physiological, metabolic, and inflammatory adjustments. The entire …

This paper describes some of the major points of progress and challenges in health
management of dairy cattle in the last 25 yr. A selection of the leading contributors in the …

Tremendous metabolic and endocrine adjustments must be made as dairy cows move from
late gestation to early lactation. Requirements for glucose and metabolizable energy …

During the transition period, dairy cows undergo large metabolic adaptations in glucose,
fatty acid, and mineral metabolism to support lactation and avoid metabolic dysfunction. The …

The objective of this observational study was to investigate the risk factors for metritis,
purulent vaginal discharge, and cytological endometritis. The hypothesis was that purulent …

ABSTRACT A farm-level stochastic model was used to estimate costs of 7 common clinical
diseases in the United States: mastitis, lameness, metritis, retained placenta, left-displaced …

The periparturient or transition period of 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after calving is
characterised by a greatly increased risk of disease. Hypocalcaemia around calving is a risk …

Dairy cows undergo tremendous metabolic and physiological adaptations around parturition
to support lactation. The liver is central to many of these processes, including …

Dairy cows suffer blood Ca losses as lactation begins and might be affected by
hypocalcemia in its clinical (total serum Ca concentration< 1.50 mM) or subclinical form …

Our aim in this Journal of Dairy Science centennial review is to describe the evolution of
focus on metabolic indicators, from discovery and description to evaluation at the individual …
