Fatty liver affects up to 50 % of postpartum dairy cattle which is costly due to milk production losses and secondary disease
such as ketosis .Fatty liver occurs when cattle enter a negative energy balance usually during the first 2 wk lactation. Lipolysis occurs as a response to the NEB and results in the liver being overwhelmed by high concentration of plasma. The high influx of NEFA to the liver is usually greater than its oxidative capacity resulting in storage of NEFA as triglyceride within the hepatocytes.
