The Effect of Body Energy Reserve Mobilization on the Fatty Acid Profile of Milk in High-yielding Cows
We investigated the effect of the amount of body condition loss in the dry period and early lactation in 42 high-yielding Holstein-Friesian cows on milk yield and the share of fatty acids in milk fat. Energy reserves were estimated based on the body condition scoring (BCS) and backfat thickness (BFT...
