Supplementing milk replacer with n-3 fatty acids has a positive influence in growth and oxidative functions in young calves…
High producing dairy cows require energy dense diets during periods of negative energy balance. Energy deficiency can reduce milk…
Ruminal branched-chain volatile fatty acids (BCVFA; isobutyrate, isovalerate, and 2-methylbutyrate) originates primarily from the degradation of branched-chain amino acids (valine, isoleucine, leucine and proline) included in the diet.
