During transition phase dairy cows experience several physiological changes that impact their reproductive and productive functions. Tremendous changes have been identified in nutrient demand by the animals for co-ordination of metabolism during this phase. In case of not meeting these nutritional needs body metabolic system fails to efficiently co-ordinate lactation, leading to the occurrence of metabolic disorders thereby compromising profitability on commercial dairy farms. This is the reason that nutrition and management of the dairy animals during transition has become a priority.

Abstract


During transition phase dairy cows experience several physiological changes that impact their reproductive and productive functions. Tremendous changes have been identified in nutrient demand by the animals for co-ordination of metabolism during this phase. In case of not meeting these nutritional needs body metabolic system fails to efficiently co-ordinate lactation, leading to the occurrence of metabolic disorders thereby compromising profitability on commercial dairy farms. This is the reason that nutrition and management of the dairy animals during transition has become a priority.
