Pre-partum feeding strategies affect colostrum metabolite levels related to nitrogen and energy metabolism in Holstein dairy cows
Although colostrum is physiologically regulated, our findings, for the first time, indicate that the four feeding strategies induce shifts in fucose, tryptophan, acetate and cytidine levels, reflecting the energy and nitrogen metabolism of cows before parturition.
