What is Dry Matter Intake in Dairy Cows about?

This document summarizes research on dry matter intake and energy balance in dairy cows during the transition period from late gestation to early lactation. Key points include: - Dry matter intake declines exponentially in the final 3 weeks of gestation, falling to 1.3-1.4% of body weight the day before calving for heifers and cows. - Predicted models estimate heifers experience negative energy balance before calving due to their lower dry matter intake and additional energy requirement for growth compar
