Quantifying protein mobilization in dairy cows during the transition period

Dr. Phil Cardoso of the University of Illinois and Dr. Jackie Boerman of Purdue University discuss a review of published literature reporting protein mobilization measurements and potential methods to quantify protein mobilization that was performed to provide information about the timing and extent of tissue mobilization for dairy cattle.
