Energy intake and supply change throughout lactation. In the period around partus both an oversupply and a deficiency can have detrimental consequences for the animal. The incidence of metabolic diseases increases and performance declines. In the present experiment cows received different energy levels in the course of lactation. The objectives were to determine the effects of an abrupt change of energy supply in lactation on dry matter (DM) intake, milk yield and composition. There are only a few older studies where a related problem was examined.
