Changes in Thyroid Hormones Levels and Metabolism in Dairy Cows around Calving
The hormonal activity of the thyroid gland has an important role in ruminants for the modulation of metabolic variables. In this study changes in thyroid hormones and biochemical parameters in dairy cows around calving were evaluated and the critical thyroid hormones thresholds for predicting the ri...
