Effect of close-up metabolizable protein supply on colostrum yield, composition, and immunoglobulin G concentration and associations with prepartum metabolic indicators of Holstein cows

ABSTRACT: The prepartum diet as well as individual metabolic status of the cow influences colostrum parameters. The objectives of this study were to (1) investigate the effect of increasing prepartum dietary MP supply on colostrum yield, composition, and IgG concentration, and (2) identify prepartum...
