Research Progress on Pathogenesis and Early Warning Markers of Ketosis in Dairy Cows during Perinatal Period
Cow ketosis is one of the most common nutritional metabolic diseases in the perinatal period.Cows with ketosis have reduced milk yield and reproductive performance,they are prone to secondary diseases,which increase the treatment cost,and cause substantial economic losses to the breeding industry and seriously hinder the healthy development of the dairy industry.Early diagnosis and prediction of ketosis is the key to pre-venting and controlling ketosis.Currently,the prediction model of ketosis has been constructed based on the da-ta of blood,milk,urine,rumen fluid,physiological activity and production management related to ketosis.This paper reviews the pathogenesis,early diagnosis and prediction of ketosis in dairy cows to provide a theo-retical basis for improving the early warning system of ketosis risk in dairy cows.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(6):3462-3473]
