Least squares mean (±SE) serum NEFA, BHBA, cholesterol and calcium concentrations in grazing cows relative to health outcome during the first 3 wk after calving.

a No event = cows that did not develop any clinical disorder of interest (retained placenta, clinical hypocalcemia, clinical mastitis, mild or severe metritis) by 22 DIM.
b Multiple events = cows that developed 2 or more clinical disorders (retained placenta, clinical hypocalcemia, clinical mastitis, mild or severe metritis) by 22 DIM.
†P ≤ 0.1
*P ≤ 0.05
**P ≤ 0.01
***P ≤ 0.001 indicate differences in these analytes between No event cows and cows with one event (clinical mastitis, mild metritis or severe metritis only), and between No event cows and cows with Multiple events.
