Metabolic and blood acid-base responses to prepartum dietary cation-anion difference and calcium content in transition dairy cows

ABSTRACT: Dairy cows commonly undergo negative Ca balance accompanied by hypocalcemia after parturition. A negative dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) strategy has been used prepartum to improve periparturient Ca homeostasis. Our objective was to determine the influence of a negative DCAD diet w...
