The aim of the present experiments was to investigate the influences of a daily supplementation of 1 g folic acid (FA), respectively pantothenic acid (PA) on ruminal fermentation, as well as on serum and milk variables. ...

Early lactation is attended by massive fat mobilization, decreased insulin sensitivity and immunosuppression. The aim of this dissertation was to study the effects of lactation and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on adipocyte ...

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are geometric and positional isomers of linoleic acid with conjugated double bonds. Cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 CLA are the two most intensively studied isomers. The cis-9, trans-11 ......
Verabreichung einer pansengeschützen Zulage von konjugierten Linolsäuren (cis-9, trans-11; trans-10, cis-12) an frühlaktierende Milchkühe – Auswirkungen auf Futteraufnahme und Leistung
Konjugierte ......

Ruminants usually absorb only small quantities of glucose directly from the small intestine, because the majority of the glucose, regardless of dietary source, is fermented in the rumen to short chain fatty acids. Thus, ...

The aim of the thesis was to test if concentrate supplementation is required in an organic, pasture-based feeding system and if concentrate supplementation influences grazing behavior. The study consisted of two trials, ...

For dairy cows, the transition from late pregnancy to early lactation is characterized by dramatic changes in endocrine status, nutrient utilization as well as tissue metabolism. Specific metabolic processes, e.g., in ......
Der Übergang von der späten Trächtigkeit zur frühen Laktation ist bei Milchkühen mit drastischen Veränderungen des endokrinen Status, der Nährstoffverwertung sowie des Gewebestoffwechsels verbunden. Spezielle Stoffwechselprozesse, ......

The haptoglobin (Hp) concentration in blood and milk is increasingly discussed as a diagnostic marker for bovine mastitis. This acute phase protein is mainly synthesised in the liver, however, Hp mRNA was also discovered ...

Mitochondria are essential organelles with key roles in metabolism and health; their function is influenced by various exogenous and endogenous factors. Dairy cows undergo a negative energy balance (EB) and a systemic ...
