Abstract
Previous results on dairy cows have shown that an increased amino acid (AA) supply imcreased net hepatic glucose release, whole-body rate of appearance (WB Ra) of glucose, lactose secretion and milk production. However, it is suggested that in the immediate postpartum period, the liver glucose release is mainly supported by an important inter-organ transfer of glucogenic carbons such as lactate from peripheral tissues to the liver instead of an increased utilization of AA for gluconeogenesis. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of supplementing AA on WB Ra of glucose, and tissue metabolism of glucose, lactate and β-OH-butyrate (BHB) in postpartum transition dairy cows.
