Effects of treatment with propylene glycol and cyanocobalamin on disease, milk production and reproductive outcomes of dairy cows diagnosed with hyperketonemia and hypoglycemia
American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings(2024)
摘要
Almost all periparturient dairy cows experience a period of negative energy balance, and despite improvements to fresh cow management, some dairy cows still experience clinical disease associated with the periparturient period (Duffield et al., 2009; Taylor et al., 2004). Hyperketonemia (HK) remains an important production and animal welfare concern (McArt et al., 2012; Tatone, Duffield, Capel, et al., 2016; Tatone, Duffield, LeBlanc, et al., 2016), and recently several handheld meters which measure beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) have been validated in dairy cows and can be used to detect pre-clinical HK (Bach et al., 2016; Tatone et al., 2015). Several studies have explored the screening of post-parturient cows to detect HK and administer treatment in order to ward off clinical disease and increase milk production (Capel et al., 2021; Gordon et al., 2017; McArt et al., 2012). However, these studies have been inconsistent in their findings, and treatment may not be economically beneficial for farms with a relatively low incidence of HK (McArt et al., 2014). A 2017 study indicated that cows may have variable production responses to HK treatment based on blood glucose concentration (Gordon et al., 2017). Because blood glucose can also be measured cow-side, measurement of blood glucose concurrent with measurement of blood BHBA may be a means to target treatment to cows that will respond to current treatments. Therefore, our objective was to explore the effects of treatment with propylene glycol and cyanocobalamin in early post-partum cows based on both HK and glycemic status. We hypothesized that improvements to health, milk production, and reproduction would be greatest among cows that were hypoglycemic.
