Description
Hany Gado and co-authors test energy supplements for dairy cows in energy deficit in this 2025 study. Early lactation cows often burn more energy than they eat. That deficit cuts milk and harms health. Ninety Holstein Friesian cows were split into three groups. One got no supplement, one a low daily dose, one a high dose. The supplement blends glycerol and propylene glycol from fermentation. After a week of gradual introduction, treatment ran eight weeks.
Milk yield and makeup were tracked along with blood markers. The high-dose group digested feed better, the authors report. Energy balance is the core outcome the doses target. Findings guide feeding in the risky weeks after calving. The study is a farm animal feeding trial. Full results are tabled in the article.
