Variables of clinical chemistry of cows in 2nd (left side) and ≥3rd (right side) parity (LSM). Groups included a control group (n = 16; •, solid line), a CLA group receiving 8.4 g of trans-10,cis-12 CLA/d (n = 16; ▪, long dashed line), a vitamin E group (n = 15) receiving 2,327 IU of vitamin E/d (▴, short dashed line), and a group (n = 12) receiving both treatments (♦, long dash-dotted line) from d −42 until 70 relative to calving. In the control group, 10 cows were in 2nd and 6 in 3rd or higher parity. In the CLA group, 9 cows were in 2nd and 6 in 3rd or higher parity. For the vitamin E group, this relationship was 10:5, whereas in the CLA + vitamin E group 5 cows were in 2nd and 7 cows in 3rd or higher parity. GGT = gamma-glutamyl-transferase.
