Abstract

Supplementation of peripartum dairy cattle with parenteral vitamin E has been reported to decrease the incidence of retained placenta and metritis. Our objective was to compare the effect of one subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection of vitamin E on plasma and neutrophil a-tocopherol concentrations.
