Diagnostic Use of Pooled Metabolic Profiles in Czech Dairy Herds
2008
Use of blood chemistries in the form of metabolic profiles to determine nutritional status has been advocated, but acceptance has been limited as a result of high cost and interpretation difficulties. A pooled sample approach to metabolic profiling could provide a more comprehensive snapshot of herd metabolic status with minimal economic investment compared to individual sampling. Study objectives were to evaluate diagnostic reference criteria to determine if pooled sample blood analyte concentrations collected at different periods relative to calving can differentiate between herds with and without health problems, and provide diagnostic value in assessment of transition cow problems.
