Periparturient Diseases of Dairy Cows: A Systems Biology Approach

Dairy Cow Periparturient Diseases

Periparturient Diseases of Dairy Cows: A Systems Biology Approach examines diseases affecting dairy cows during the transition and periparturient period using modern systems biology approaches. It explores genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, biomarkers, pathogenesis, and early disease diagnosis. The book covers major conditions including metritis, mastitis, ketosis, rumen acidosis, fatty liver, milk fever, infertility, laminitis, and retained placenta.
