Ketózy u dojného skotu, jejich léčba a profylaxe
Hronová, Julie
Ketosis is considered the most common and economically very important metabolic disease in high producing dairy cows. At the onset of lactation, the energy metabolism of dairy cows is disturbed and they enter into a negative energy balance. The main symptom of ketosis is an increased concentration of ketone bodies in urine, milk and blood. Ketone bodies are composed of acetone, acetoacetic acid and β-hydroxybutyric acid, which is the highest in relation to ketone body composition. Clinical signs of ketosis are characterized by weight loss, decreased performance, impaired reproductive performance and the possibility of other metabolic diseases. Prevention is very important to avoid the development of ketosis and the large economic losses resulting from this disease. The basic preventive measure is proper nutritional management in the pre- and postnatal period.
