Article Synopsis
- The study examined how subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) affects blood metabolites, oxidative stress markers, and gene expression in Holstein cows around the time of giving birth.
- Eighteen cows were divided into two groups: SARA (cows with low ruminal pH) and non-SARA, with various blood and liver samples taken before and after parturition.
- Results showed significant changes in oxidative stress markers and gene expression in the SARA group, indicating a potential link between negative energy balance and increased oxidative stress during the periparturient period.
