Facts

Know
Is\: \ictoi Plastau
Associate Agmnllural Agent
Ketosis is uie most mipoitant
metabolic disease ol modem
heids of d.nt\ tattle which
ham the genetic potential for
high pioduction and Lick the
management to accomplish it
We do not have all the know
ledge necessaiy to be able to
feed today’s dany cow as she
needs to be fed, but lead feed
ing to freshening, challenge
feeding to peak production and
careful feeding beyond that to
keep the cow in her best physi
cal condition appear to be good
steps in the right direction.
Dairymen should constantly
remind themselves that a high
level of milk production is in
itself a burden of stress which
demands the best possible
management to minimize othei
sources of stress
The answer to heid ketosis is
not clear in nutrition or medi
cine, but we have suggested
management guidelines and a
few drugs which are useful.
The use ■of methionine and
possibly other essentia] nutri
ents may conti ibute tremen
dously toward ehmiating this
disease which has plagued good
dany heids
Milk Fever
Milk fever is laigely a man
agement disease Dairymen
should concentiate on the man
aging of their dry cows (this
includes feeding them) so that
they will be in the best possible
condition for freshening. If a
good management job is done,
the number of milk fever cases
will be minimal, and dairymen
can then well afford to use the
services of a good veterinarian
to treat them
Be sure calcium phosphorus
ratio in the diet of dry and
freshening cows approaches 1-1.
Maintain dry and freshening
cows in lean, active condition.
Lead feed cows approaching
freshening to meet their needs.
Be alert for early milk fever
symptoms in cows likely to
come down with it Most millr
fever cases should be treated
houis befoie the cow would go
down
Depend upon your veterin
auan to caielully examine
cows suspect for milk fever and
give them adequate treatment
Early treatment, adequate
ti eatmemt, correct treatment
and musing will pievent losses
fiom “downer” cows.
Pioduction Diop
Adjustments of concentrate
feeding level to abnoimally
high diops in milk pioduction
ovei any specilied peuod can be
of leal value
Once cows have peaked for
the lactation thej generally will
decrease in production at the
rate ot about 5 pei cent per
month m well-fed, well-manag
ed heids, oi about 10 per cent)
pei month in the average herd.
When the decrease exceeds
this late, one should feed an
additional one pound of gram
