Abstract

During the periparturient period, dairy cows undergo major hormonal, metabolic, and physiological changes to support both calving and the start of milk production. Although these changes are vital, they also increase the risk of several health issues, including ketosis, milk fever, fatty liver, and displaced abomasum. In recent years, farmers and veterinarians have started more work on metabolic profiling to understand a cow’s health, especially around calving. By measuring certain blood values, it's possible to identify problems like ketosis or milk fever before the cow actually starts showing symptoms. This review gives us clarity on some of the latest research and looks at how this method is being used during the periparturient period. The goal is to see how metabolic profiling can help early detections and improve the overall health and performance of dairy herds.
