Effect of stage of lactation and dietary starch content on endocrine-metabolic status, blood amino acid concentrations, milk yield, and composition in Holstein dairy cows.
Dairy Products and Nutraceuticals

Four multi-lactation dairy cows in early lactation and subsequently in late lactation were fed two diets for 28 days in a changeover design that provided, within the same stage of lactation, similar amounts of rumen fermentable feed with either high (HS) or low starch (LS). All diets had similar dietary crude protein and rumen-undegradable protein content. Amino acid profiles were similar to that of casein.
