Dr Ric Grummer
Dr. Ric Grummer obtained his BS degree in Dairy Science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison
(1 977) and his MS (1 980) and PhD (1 984) degrees in Dairy Science at the University of I l l inois,
Urbana-Champaign. After a brief postdoctoral appointment at the University of I l l inois, he started as
an Assistant Professor in Department of Dairy Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the

Stress in the Freshly Calved Cow

What is “Metabolic Stress”?
• Abrupt shifts in metabolism that are created
by nutritional or physiological changes in the
cow, e.g.
– Heat stress
– Forage quality
– Pen movements
– Crowding
– etc.
– Parturition and initiation of lactation
Parturition
• Acute hormonal changes
– Increasing growth hormone
– Decreasing insulin
– Increasing cortisol/epinephrine
– Decreasing progesterone
– Increasing estrogen
• Decreasing feed intake
Lactation
• Shift in nutrient delivery to support lactation
• Insufficient nutrient intake to support lacation
• Reliance on body reserves to support lactation
• Negative nutrient balances
– Amino acids
– Glucose
– Fatty acids
Reliance on Adipose Tissue Reserves =
Metabolic Stress

Fatty Liver
• >50% of fresh cows have moderate to severe
fatty liver (5% or more fat, wet basis)
– Reid, 1980 (England)
– Mazur et al., 1988 (France)
– Schafer et al., 1991 (Germany)
– Grummer, 1993 (USA)
– Jorritsma et al. 2001 (Netherlands)
Subclinical Ketosis(McArt et al., 2012)
• 40.3% incidence (from 3-16 DIM)
• Milk loss- 3.4%
• 19.3x greater risk of DA
• 3x greater chance for removal from herd
by 30d
• $67/case

3Strategies to Reduce Stress Associated
with Mobilization of Adipose Reserves
• Alteration of basal diet to reduce adipose
tissue mobilization
• Supplements
– Those that inhibit adipose tissue
mobilization
– Those that assist the liver in processing
mobilized NEFA
Alteration of the Basal Diet
• The Goldilocks Diet: ~5.5 MJ/kg DM for the
entire dry period
– Benefits: lower NEFA, BHBA, liver TG
– Mechanism: cows are less insulin resistant
– Concern: long term feeding of low energy diets
may result in lost milk production
• Silva del Rio, 2009
– 5.53 vs 6.45 MJ/kg from -8 to -3 wk prepart
– Lost 5.4 kg FCM/d
• Janovick and Drackley, 2010
– 5.01 vs 6.82 MJ/kg for entire dry period
– Lost 9.3 kg FCM/d
Supplements- that Reduce Fatty
Acid Mobilization
• Niacin
– Directly inhibits lipolysis in adipose tissue
• Chromium
– Makes the transition cow more insulin sensitive?
• Propylene Glycol
– Elicits an insulin response
“Several strategies for the prevention of fatty liver and
ketosis have been proposed, but present limitations in
the knowledge of hepatic fatty acid metabolism
preclude effective implementation of some strategies.
For example, increased rate of hepatic VLDL TG export
would be desirable, but, until the mechanism limiting
export is known, rapid progress in developing
strategies will be relatively difficult. For the present,
management of fatty acid mobilization during the
periparturient period may provide a more feasible
approach.”
R.R. Grummer. 1993. Etiology of Lipid-Related
Metabolic Disorders in Periparturient Dairy
Cows. J. Dairy Sci. 76:3882
“Nutritional restriction to adipose tissue mobilisation
might be necessary, but there is a philosophical
problem. We have selected cows that have increased
reliance on mobilised body reserves as a source of
nutrients for milk production. The farmer has paid the
geneticist for this- are we now going to ask him to pay
the nutritionist to work in the opposite direction? We
have our priorities wrong. We should explore what can
be done to help the liver deal with mobilised fatty acids
before considering whether we need to try to reduce
the amount of fatty acid supplied to the liver.”

3Absorption of dietary choline is low
Dr. R. Erdman (1992)
• Feed intake: 30 g/d
• Escaping ruminal breakdown: 1g/d
• Ruminal production: 0 g/d
• Supply to intestine: 1 g/d
Feeding Massive Amounts of
Unprotected Choline??
Sharma and Erdman, 1988
Proof of Principle Experiment: Feeding ReaShure
Rumen-Protected Choline Prevents Fatty Liver(Cook et al., 2007)
• Far-off dry cows
– Feed restrict dry cows to induce fatty acid mobilization and liver TG accumulation
– 10 days
– 30% of energy requirement
• Treatments
– Control diet
– control diet plus 60 g “protected” choline/d during induction

Summary
• “Metabolic stress” associated with parturition
and lactation is unavoidable.
• Methods to moderate this stress include
limiting fatty acid mobilization by altering the
basal diet or adding supplements that are
anti-lipolytic. But this fights the cow’s natural
mechanisms to support lactation.
• Choline works to reduce metabolic stress and
support lactation by assisting the liver in
processing mobilized fatty acids.
Summary
• Choline is an essential nutrient that is
deficient in transition dairy cows.
• Supplementation of rumen-protected choline
increases cow health and performance.
