Exploring the relationship between predicted negative energy balance and its biomarkers of Holstein cows in first-parity early lactation

ABSTRACT: The negative energy balance (NEB) state in dairy cows is a critical factor affecting health, reproduction, and production, particularly during early lactation. Multiple blood and milk biomarkers change when dairy cows are in the NEB state. Direct measurement of NEB is impractical for large...
