Before 1^st postpartum milking cows were randomly assigned to: twice-a-day milking (<strong>M2</strong>; standard industry practice, milking every 12 h; n = 22), once-a-day milking (<strong>M1</strong>; milking every 24 h; n = 24), restricted milking (<strong>MR</strong>; 3 L milking every 12 h; n = 21), and delayed milking (<strong>MD</strong>; no milking for the first 24 h, and milking every 12 h afterwards; n = 23) strategies implemented during the first 2 d postpartum. Blood samples for total plasma Ca, P, and Mg determination were collected from enrollment every 4 h up to 48 h, and at 3 days in milk (DIM). Blood BHB concentration was determined at 3 and 11... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2ht139cf Sun, 3 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 Silva del Rio, Noelia
