Supplementary data to publication “Plasma metabolome alteration in dairy cows with left displaced abomasum before and after surgical correction”

The metabolism of dairy cows with left displaced abomasum (LDA) undergoes substantial changes. A metabolomics approach was used to investigate the changes of plasma metabolites in cows with LDA before and after surgical correction. Our results indicate that during LDA, amino acid levels decrease and lipid levels increase in cows with LDA, whereas these amino acids increase and lipids decrease after surgery. Pathway analysis revealed that surgical treatment reversed the changes in amino acid and lipid metabolism in cows with LDA. This study provides novel information that will advance our understanding of the metabolic changes in cows with LDA.
