Blood collection was conducted after 2 h of feeding in the morning.
Blood was collected 18 times per cow, then blood metabolites were analyzed.
All values are mean ± standard error.
Values with different superscripts within a row (p < 0.05).
NR, nutrient requirements; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; NEFA, non-esterified fatty acids; ALB, albumin; TP, total protein.
