Effects of close-up dietary energy content and rumen-protected lysine and methionine fed pre- and postpartum on performance and health of Holstein cows.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of feeding rumen-protected Met (RPM; KESSENT M, Kemin Industries Inc., Des Moines, IA) and rumen-protected Lys (RPL; LysiGEM, Kemin Industries Inc., Des Moines, IA) prepartum at the same AA-to-ME ratio (3.

Validation of the Measurement of Beta-Hydroxybutyrate and Non-Esterified Fatty Acids in Bovine Saliva: A Pilot Report.

Serum beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) are biomarkers of situations of negative energetic balance in bovine. However, knowledge about their possible measurement and use in saliva is limited. In this report, two commercially available methods for the measurement of BHB and NEFAs were validated for use in bovine saliva.
