The effect of a product with three gluconeogenic precursors during the transition period on blood metabolites and milk yield in Chilean Holstein cattle

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a product containing calcium propionate 70 g/kg, propylene glycol 95 g/kg and glycerol 330 g/kg on blood β-hydroxy butyrate, non-esterified fatty acids and milk yield in Chilean Holstein cows.
