Hepatic metabolomics and transcriptomics to study susceptibility to ketosis in response to prepartal nutritional management

Abstract Background Ketosis in dairy cows is associated with body fat mobilization during the peripartal period. Sub-clinical and clinical ketosis arise more frequently in cows that are overfed energy during the entire dry (last 50 to 45 days prior to parturition) or close-up period (last ~ 28 days ...
