Abstract
Early monitoring of the failure of metabolic adaptation to calving, represents the most effective measure for allowing a prompt intervention on transition dairy cows. This prevents deleterious effects on animal performance, health, and welfare, which are driven by multiple disorders during the following lactation. Applying metabolic profiling could (1) provide a deeper view on the cause of any pathologic condition affecting transition cows, aimed at increasing the effectiveness and timely application of any treatment and (2) provide detailed feedback on the management practices adopted in a farm during this challenging phase based on animal responses.
