Dietary imbalances in dairy cows can be one of fundamental cause of numerous and complicated types of health problems that are usually categorized as metabolic disorders. High producing dairy cows are among highly susceptible animal to such metabolic disorders during their transitional periods; three weeks before and after calving.
