An experiment was conducted to determine if initiation of milking 10 d prior to expected calving could prevent fatty liver by circumventing intake depression and by providing an alternative route for fatty acid metabolism. Prepartum milking tended to increase DMI before calving; liver triglyceride, plasma nonesterified fatty acids, and milk yield were not affected.
Key Words: fatty liver prepartum milking feed intake milk yield
