Studies from Cornell University Yield New Data on Dairy Science (Association of Subclinical Hypocalcemia Dynamics With Dry Matter Intake, Milk Yield, and Blood Minerals During the Periparturient Period)

摘要

2021 MAY 03 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Current study results on Science - Dairy Science have been published. According to news originating from Ithaca, New York, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Subclinical hypocalcemia (SCH) affects many high-producing dairy cows in the postpartum period. Recent work has shown that cows experiencing prolonged or delayed SCH are at increased risk for disease and produce less milk than cows experiencing a transient reduction in or normal concentrations of plasma Ca following parturition." Financial support for this research came from USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (Washington, DC). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Cornell University, "Our objective was to determine the association between different postpartum SCH dynamics with pre- and postpartum dry matter intake (DMI), milk yield, and blood mineral concentrations.
