Extract

In nutrition of dry cows use diets with low dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) for preventing milk fever. Therefore, anionic salts are used for reduce DCAD of diet that are caused subacute metabolic acidosis and following stimulation of PTH and 1, 25(OH2) D3 and result to calcium reabsorbing from gut and its transition from bone, so calcium concentration of blood is increased. Anionic salts caused increase calcium excretion of urine and decreasing pH. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of diets with different DCAD on physiological characteristics of Holstein heifers.
