NUTRITION AND METABOLIC DISEASES IN DAIRY CATTLE- A REVIEW
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
Metabolic disorders are a key problem in the transition period of dairy cows as the cow suffers from negative energy balance due to low dry matter intake. Main challenge and problem appears to be adaptation of rumen at different physiological stages, which leads to onset of various metabolic diseases. Nutrition plays a pivotal role in preventing metabolic disorders post calving and through lactation. Metabolic disorders such as ketosis, fatty liver syndrome, hypocalcaemia etc can have a significant effect not only on a cow’s lactation performance, but also on fertility performance. These types of problems tend to be associated with higher yielding animals, which are controllable by good feeding practice, both in lactation and during the dry period. So an understanding and day to day update of these metabolic diseases becomes essential and critical for successful venture of dairy farm.
