Features of glucose and β-hydroxybutyrate content in blood of cows and their relation to reproductive function and milk productivity
Abstract
The paper monitors the concentration of glucose (Glc) and ketone bodies (β-HB) in cows with different milk production, and evaluates the effect of these metabolites on the reproductive function and milk production of animals. It was found that the lowest concentration of β-HB was present in cows with a milk yield in the range of 2000...2999 kg per 100 days of lactation, which is 23.5% (P
