Characterization of changes in temporal concentrations of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) before and after parturition in multiparous beef cows

The objectives of this experiment were to characterize the secretion of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) in beef cows during the last month of gestation, parturition, and early lactation and correlate these concentrations with metabolites. Pregnant, multiparous cows (n = 30) fed a TMR to meet or...
