Highlighting Research

University research on DCAD balancing has been conducted since 1980. Most attention has focused on balancing transition rations for DCAD to avoid metabolic disorders. However, the impact of DCAD balancing in lactating rations is being realized, and more research is needed that focuses on exact levels and ranges of ration parameters.


In this area, you will find a concise list of research papers that focus on DCAD balancing in transition and lactating rations. Also, use the links provided to search for more DCAD research information.
