Cows with clinical symptoms of ketosis are rarely seen. Yet around 22% of cows show subclinical (i.e. invisible) ketosis after calving (Suthar et al. 2013). The first two weeks after birth are associated with the highest risk. At the same time, the risk of secondary diseases such as B. postpartum retention and subsequent metritis doubled. The probability of a displacement of the abomasum or the loss of an animal increases within the first six weeks by 8 or 6 times.
Ketosis – Diagnosis and Therapy
The costs for the veterinarian, the treatment and especially for the departure of the animal are high. In addition, it costs nerves and working time, not to mention animal welfare.
To be able to diagnose ketosis at an early stage, the blood values are of great importance. There are differences depending on where the blood is drawn. The subsequent treatment should also be optimal and targeted.
How to find the right treatment for your cows and how to optimally design ketosis prophylaxis, you will find out in this e-learning – even free for elite subscribers.
