Increasing frequency and size of wildfires in the United States over the past several decades affect everything from human life and health to air quality, biodiversity, and land use. The US dairy industry is not exempt from these...
The transition period for dairy cows, or periparturient period, is generally considered to span the time-frame 3-weeks prior to 3-weeks post parturition. During each of these 3-week periods, cows are challenged with negative energy and protein balance due to...
