Let’s kick this one off with a must-read out of Overton and Kerwin’s groups at Cornell: The effect of prepartum dietary cation-anion difference strategy and level of dietary calcium on postpartum blood calcium status and milk production of multiparous Holstein cows. Another study investigated the effects of grape seed extract (GSE) supplementation on metabolic health in dairy cows during the transition period. GSE is rich in polyphenols, a class of powerful antioxidants. Also, read about how feeding a clay mineral-based feed additive improved performance, eating behavior and liver health by feedlot beef cattle fed a high-concentrate diet. See these studies and more at the link below.
