Abstract

The objective of this presentation is to overview the biology and hepatic metabolism that contributes to onset and progression of metabolic disorders. Nutritional interventions that decrease metabolic disorders will be discussed within the context of nutrient partitioning and hepatic metabolism in order to understand the mechanism of action. Although there are many nutritional interventions that can be considered to influence metabolic health, recent research on fermented ammoniated condensed whey, fatty acids, and choline are of interest here given their ability to influence nutrient partitioning, metabolic health, and production or feed efficiency in peripartum dairy cows.
