Journal Title: International Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Transition period of dairy cows has been one of the major physiological stages which decided the success of productivity and productive life of a dairy cow. Since early 19’s until up-to-date researchers had struggled to unveil the underline phenomenon of this particular phase of life to establish precise management practices to overcome its negative consequences. However, still the dairy farmers face numerous complications during the transition period of their animals. Hence, this review has focused on the most recent developments on understanding and overcoming the challenges of transition period of dairy cows. The recent developments are discussed under two major themes; developments in understanding the physiological changes occur during transition stage of dairy cows and molecular aspects of transition stage. As a conclusion, a holistic approach combining molecular, nutritional and management practices is recommended to overcome the problems faced during transition stage.
