Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transition dairy cows are faced with a myriad of changes, including those that are physiological, physical and social. These changes can negatively affect the health and performance of dairy cows, resulting in economic losses. The objective of this Special Issue is to bring light to recent advances in any aspect of the nutrition or management of dairy cows during the transition period that positively impacts their welfare, health and productivity. Original research articles and reviews are welcome as contributions to the Special Issue.
