Cover Story: Recent research on the transition period (TP) of dairy cows has highlighted the pivotal role of immune function in affecting the severity of metabolic challenges animals face when approaching calving. This suggests that the immune system may play a role in the etiology of metabolic diseases occurring in early lactation. Several studies have indicated that the roots of immune dysfunctions could sink way before the "classical" TP (e.g., 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after calving), extending the time frame deemed as "risky" for the development of early lactation disorders at the period around the dry-off. The present review aims to extend the focus of dairy farmers toward a wider time frame compared to the "classical" TP. As such, several strategies to optimize the onset of lactation are reviewed from a holistic standpoint. View this paper
