Description
Yigang Zhang and co-authors reviewed in 2025 a metabolic disorder of dairy cows called ketosis, from its molecular roots to farm level care. The disorder strikes high yielding cows around calving, when their energy needs outrun what they eat.
Short of energy, cows burn body fat fast, and the liver is flooded with fatty acids it cannot fully process. The result is a buildup of ketone bodies in the blood. Gene studies have found variants that raise or lower risk, and chemical scans of blood, milk, and urine can flag the disorder before signs show. The review covers feeding plans around calving and treatments, aiming at healthier herds and better farm returns.
