Purpose: The purpose of this work was to establish national Irish diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for a clinically representative and comprehensive list of clinical indications, anatomical regions, and common procedures for fluoroscopy and fluoroscopically guided interventions and compare these, where possible, to other DRLs established at a national level.

Ninety Holstein dairy cows (24 primiparous, 66 multiparous [mean parity 3.0]) were fed diets containing either 150, 160 or 170 g CP/kg DM from 8 - 180 DIM with all diets designed to supply at least 100% MP requirements. On d 181, half of the cows on each treatment changed to a diet containing 140 g CP/kg DM (supplying 100% MP requirements), with the remaining cows continuing to be offered their original treatment diets.
