Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) alleviates hepatic lipid deposition in dairy cows during the transition period: an integrated in vitro and in vivo study
Collectively, these findings suggest that DHA supplementation represents a promising nutritional strategy for preventing spontaneous fatty liver in transition dairy cows by enhancing hepatic lipid clearance and restoring metabolic homeostasis.
