Why test? Ketosis (drawn milk fever) is a metabolic disease. One in nine Dutch dairy cows suffer from ketosis in the first months after calving, but there are large differences in the percentage of cows with ketosis per farm. The disease mainly occurs at the beginning of lactation due to a negative energy balance. Cause Ketosis occurs because cows consume too little feed immediately after calving compared to the amount of milk produced, in other words: energy intake lags behind at the energy requirement. To cover this deficit, the cow breaks down its own body fat, a process in which ketones are formed. The body can process small amounts of these waste products, but... at In extreme energy shortages, this is no longer possible and ketosis occurs. Symptoms Cows with ketosis become sluggish, have little appetite, do not consume enough concentrates, produce less milk, have stiff manure and their condition rapidly declines. The exhaled air of cows in ketosis smells like acetone (one of the ketones). Ketosis is often the result of another problem, for example mastitis, uterine inflammation, abomasum displacement, but also a claw disorder. These conditions negatively affect feed intake, causing cows to quickly develop a negative energy balance. source: www.veearts.nl
