Why test? Ketosis (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 as a result of a negative energy balance. Cause Ketosis occurs because cows consume too little feed directly 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 extreme energy shortages this is no longer possible and ketosis occurs. Symptoms Cows with ketosis become sluggish, have little appetite, do not take in enough concentrated feed, give less milk, have stiff manure and their condition decreases rapidly. The exhaled air of cows with ketosis smells of acetone (one of the ketones). Ketosis is often the result of another problem, such as mastitis, uterine inflammation, abomasum displacement, but also a claw disorder. These disorders have a negative effect on feed intake, causing cows to develop a negative energy balance more quickly. source: www.veearts.nl
