Effects of increased dietary sugar and reduced rumen-undegradable protein during the transition period on production, metabolic, and immune parameters in dairy cows

Optimizing carbohydrate and protein fractions in transition dairy cow diets is critical for maintaining rumen function, health, and productivity. Although rations should be rich in starch and undegraded protein for high-yielding cows, this study examined the effects of reducing dietary starch and rumen-undegradable pro...
