The Importance of Dietary Cation-Anion Difference (DCAD) in Prepartum and Postpartum Periods of Dairy Cattle Breeding.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The most importent period of a dairy cow breeding is the first few days of postpartum. in this period the metabolism of the cow is under severe stress befor transitions to lactation period. in this period, there is a huge demand on nutritient To meet requirements for milk production. This period is most susceptible peiod for some diseases and metabolic disorders. Heifers commonly experience milk fever, retained placenta, displaced abomasum, and mastitis. A glossy passage from the dry pen to the fresh pen is critical to complete high peaks and high production throughout the lactation. Hypocalcemia ( low blood calcium ) resulting from inadequate calcium metabolism is common among fresh cows, and can lead to milk fever and other health disorders. Dairy nutritionists are beginning to fine-tune anionic salt feeding and macromineral nutrition recommendations according to the cation-anion difference concentration in the diet. Many papers on feeding anionic salts and dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) concepts have appeared recently in the scientific literature and popular press. The objective of this paper and presentation will be to deliver the newest information on current strategies to feed and supplement the close-up dry cow to prevent hypocalcemia and associated disorders.
