Abstract

Simple Summary

This study evaluated the effects of humic acid supplementation during the dry period on the postpartum lactation performance and metabolic health of transition dairy cows. The results indicated that 0.5–1% humic acid supplementation to concentrate feed during the dry period had positive effects on the subsequent lactation performance by improving milk yield and metabolic health in terms of reduced β-hydroxybutyrate and non-esterified free fatty acids.
