Overview

This research shows how early weaning influences serum metabotype and metabolic efficiency in Nelore heifers, indicating strategic weaning strategies may enhance productivity.

Key Points

Heifers subjected to early weaning showed significant changes in serum metabotype compared to those subjected to conventional weaning.
The study revealed higher concentrations of glutamate and citrate in heifers from second-parity cows under early weaning conditions.
Metabolomic profiling was conducted using ¹H-NMR spectroscopy to analyze serum samples at an average age of 14 months.
Findings suggest early weaning can improve nutrient reallocation and metabolic efficiency in cattle production.
