| Dietary Cation-Anion Difference and Dietary Protein Effects on Performance and Acid-Base Status of Dairy Cows in Early Lactation | W. Hu, M.R. Murphy, P.D. Constable, E. Block | 1/1/2007 | Journal of Dairy Science | A study observing the effects of DCAD with different concentrations of dietary crude protein revealed increased DMI, milk fat, milk protein, 4% FCM, milk lactose, and milk solids-not-fat. |
| Dietary Cation-Anion Difference Effects on Performance and Acid-Base Status of Dairy Cows Postpartum | W. Hu, M.R. Murphy, P.D. Constable, E. Block | 1/1/2007 | Journal of Dairy Science | Research study examined the effect of DCAD on performance and acid-base status of cows postpartum. |
| Acid-Base Status, Renal Function, Water, and Macromineral Metabolism of Dry Cows Fed Diets Differing in Cation-Anion Difference | A.M. Delaquis, E. Block | 1/1/1995 | Journal of Dairy Science | This study compared Holsteins fed one of two DCAD diets. Results indicate that increased DCAD has no significant effect on BW or intake and digestibility of DM, ADF, NDF, and N. The diet with the higher of the two DCAD values increased absorption of water and urine volume. |
