Project description
The transition period from pregnancy to lactation is a crucial phase in highly productive dairy cows. The aim of this project is to explore the complex interactions between metabolic, oxidative, and inflammatory statuses to gain insights into the physiological dynamics and health outcomes during this critical period in cattle. To achieve this, we are conducting on-farm monitoring and laboratory analysis.
