Bile acids not only protect cows from metabolic diseases but also significantly increase milk production.
As a result milk production will also increase. Second, bile ac- ids cause hepatocytes to secrete VLDL and transport fat de- posits in the liver in time to prevent a large amount of fat ac- cumulation in the liver. Third, once the burden on the liver is relieved, ketones can be transported out, which prevents ke- tosis developing. See Table 1: after adding bile acids, the cure rates of abnormal protein metabolism, fat metabolism, carbo- hydrate metabolism and mineral metabolism are 75%, 80%, 80% and 71.4%, respectively, and the cure rate of liver dys- function is 100%. In the control group, the metabolism of nu- trients and liver dysfunction were not improved. Table 2 shows that the milk yield of the treatment group increased by 19.9% compared with the control group.
Conclusion Bile acids are a feed additive that can be used to protect the liver and intestines, which can effectively guarantee the health of the cow’s energy engine: the liver. Bile acids not only protect cows from metabolic diseases such as fatty liver and ketosis, but also significantly increase milk production.
