Peripartal rumen-protected methionine supplementation to higher energy diets elicits positive effects on blood neutrophil gene networks performance and liver lipid content in dairy cows

摘要

BackgroundMain objectives were to determine to what extent Smartamine M (SM) supplementation to a prepartal higher-energy diet could alter neutrophil (PMN) and liver tissue immunometabolic biomarkers, and whether those responses were comparable to those in cows fed a prepartal lower-energy diet (CON).
