Abstract

Dairy cows undergo tremendous metabolic and endocrine changes during the transition from dry to lactating phase. Hypocalcemia is one of the most critical metabolic conditions that dairy cows experience after calving. The objective of this review article was to underline the role of calcium homeostasis in determining the periparturient dairy cow’s health and performance. In addition, nutritional strategies to maintain normal blood calcium levels in fresh cows were addressed. For many years, it has been believed that decreased dry matter intake, insulin levels and tissue sensitivity, increased growth hormone levels as well as inflammation are the most important factors leading to negative energy balance (NEB).
