Abstract:
To clarify the current situation of ketosis in dairy cattle on large-scale pastures in China and provide new insights,a questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the incidence,preven-tion,treatment methods,and associated costs of ketosis in 79 large-scale pastures.The results showed that the average incidence of ketosis in dairy cows was 3.97％,with a cure rate of 92.40％.The order of importance of methods for preventing and controlling ketosis was as follows:feed for-mulation optimization＞blood ketone monitoring＞negative energy balance monitoring＞feed in-take monitoring＞milk yield monitoring.The most important treatment methods are intravenous glucose＞propylene glycol butyl phosphate＞vitamins＞choline.The most important diagnostic methods are blood ketone testing＞milk ketone testing＞negative energy balance testing＞clinical symptoms＞blood glucose testing.Economic analysis revealed that treatment costs were lower on larger farms and higher milk yields farms.Continuous optimization of feeding management,preven-tion,and control measures should be implemented on large-scale farms in China to reduce the oc-currence of ketosis in dairy cows.Additionally,more effective diagnostic and treatment methods should be employed to improve the cure rate and overall farm income.
