Effects of feeding two rumen-protected choline sources during the transition period on performance and blood metabolites of Holstein dairy cows by V. Sáinz de la Maza-Escolà, F. Piccioli-Cappelli, L. Cattaneo, L. Benedetti, A. Piva, E. Grilli, E. Trevisi

“…Cows supplemented with RPC1 had significantly greater prepartum DMI efficiency relative to milk and energy-corrected milk yields during both supplementation and post-supplementation periods compared to CON. These findings suggest that RPC supplementation can improve milk yield and influence the immunometabolic profile of transition dairy cows, with effects varying depending on the protection technology used, highlighting the importance of optimising choline supplementation strategies.…”
