The effect of uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation on the feeding behavior of lactating dairy cows

Our objective was to determine the effects of uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation on feeding behavior of lactating dairy cows. We hypothesized that uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation would increase meal size and meal length and performed 2 experiments to test our hypothesis. In experiment 1, 4 late-lactation cows (345 ± 48.4 d in milk; mean ± SD) were administered a daily intrajugular injection of either 10 mg/kg of BW0.75 of...
