WEBINAR “KETOSIS IN DAIRY COWS: DISEASE OR SYMPTOM OF ANOTHER PROBLEM?”, SARA KVIDERA

Sara Kvidera highlighted the problem of ketosis from a completely different perspective than everyone is used to. Sara spoke about inflammation in the body of transition cows and its impact on the occurrence of a negative energy balance, as well as why ketosis treatment does not always work. She emphasized the importance of providing cows with glucogenic energy during the transition period and creating optimal housing conditions to minimize health problems. Prevention of negative energy balance is the key to a successful start of lactation. Charge your cow for lactation!

 

Sara Kvidera висвітлила проблему кетозу зовсім з іншої сторони, ніж усі звикли її розглядати. Sara розповіла про запалення в організмі транзитних корів та його вплив на виникнення негативного енергетичного балансу, а також чому лікування кетозу не завжди спрацьовує. Вона наголосила на важливості забезпечення корів глюкогенною енергією у транзитний період та створення оптимальних умов утримання для мінімізації проблем зі здоров’ям. Профілактика негативного енергетичного балансу – запорука успішного старту лактації. Зарядіть свою корову на лактацію!
