kg/d, respectively). Plasma concentrations of Lys prepartum (69.8 ± 1.8 µM) increased for cows in PRE-L compared with those in PRE-C (62.5 ± 1.3 µM). In conclusion, RPL consumed prepartum tended to increase postpartum DMI and increased energy-corrected milk and milk component yields. This indicates that prepartum supply of intestinally available Lys is pertinent to postpartum performance. However, postpartum supply of intestinally available Lys had no effect on cows' performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
