Definition\/Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most significant metabolic disorder at the beginning of lactation with considerable economic importance.Very strong body fat loss due to insufficient energy intake as a result of excessive body mass gain (fatty degeneration) at the end of pre-lactation and\/or the dry period (feeding error).The accumulation of volatile fatty acids exceeds the possibilities of their utilization. As a result, fatty liver disease and increased formation of ketone bodies with further reduction in feed intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fatal cycle !<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequences: emaciation, decline in performance, fertility and health problems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Body condition score > 4 at calving date<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Energy restriction during the dry off period<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hasty fat loss already in dry period 2 as a result of incorrect transit feeding<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • insufficient adaptation to the concentrate-rich ration type at the beginning of lactation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Triggering diseases: afterbirth disorders, childbearing paresis, rumen acidosis, acute mastitis, puerperal disorders, abomasal displacement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Signal values: F\/P > 1.5 and P% <3.2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Animal health measures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Present animals with F\/P > 1.5 to the veterinarian immediately<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • ensure immediate treatment of every sick cow<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Metaphylactic use of propylene glycol and niacin<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Develop a control strategy for fat mobilization syndrome, childbearing palsy and abnormal lean displacement and take it into account in management<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Arrange additional examinations:\n
        \n
      • Acetone content in milk or ketone body rapid test<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Liver biopsy and swimming sample<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • GLDH in blood plasma<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • sonographic back fat thickness measurement to determine RFD decrease within 14 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Rule out rumen acidosis by targeted examinations (pH in urine, NSBA in urine). If positive, then use rumen buffers for fresh milkers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Measures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Goal: Avoid energetic overfeeding.<\/strong>Optimize feeding during the dry and transit period, achieve optimal body condition at the time of drying, minimize diseases in the near-birth period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Feeding in the dry off period 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Crude fibre-rich, well-structured forage in quantities of 1.6 to 1.8 % of BM with energy density of 5.5 MJ NEL\/kg DM<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Avoid under- and oversupply of energy. Undersupply initiates fat mobilization too early. Oversupply deepens the energy dericite after calving!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Adequate supply of vitamins and trace elements<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Avoid potassium-rich feeds (Potassium content > 2% DM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Use low-Calcium mineral feeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Feeding in transit period 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Increase energy concentration in TMR to 6.5 MJ NEL\/kg DM (energy supply for conservation + 8 Mkg)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • In the case of component feeding, increase 1 kg of concentrated feed per week or every 2 days by 500 g until calving reaches 3.0 kg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Use good quality forage. Increasing the supply of starch increases the DM-intake. DM intake is said to be 1.6% of BM shortly before calving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sufficient supply of crude fibre reduces abomasal displacement and prevents rumen acidosis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Use the same basic feeds as for fresh milkers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Needs-based protein supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Milk fever prophylaxis for high DCAB values (use of acidic salts).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Feeding in transit period 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Increase in concentrate intake by 250 g per day. For TMR, secure an energy concentration of 7.0 MJ NEL\/kg DM<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Secure 400 g of crude fibre for every 100 kg of body mass. Pay attention to the proportion of structurally effective crude fiber. 8 – 10% of the particles should be larger than 4 cm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Only the best quality basic feed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Other measures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Ketosis prophylaxis: Possibly supplemental feeding of propylene glycol, propionates, niacin in cows that are too fat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Observation of changes in rumination activities and lying behavior (frequent lying down, dull coat, dry muzzle are indications of ketosis)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Control feed consumption (empty hunger pit compared to group mates)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Unlimited access to the feeding area<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Check the frequency of forage submission (3 x)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Securing the water supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • is the feed ration (calculated) also eaten?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"parent":42895,"menu_order":2,"template":"","kb_category":[62],"class_list":["post post-type-kb post-view- post-scope-","status-publish","kb_category-herdeplus-en","clear"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.dsp-agrosoft.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb\/42887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.dsp-agrosoft.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.dsp-agrosoft.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kb"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/support.dsp-agrosoft.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb\/42887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42890,"href":"https:\/\/support.dsp-agrosoft.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb\/42887\/revisions\/42890"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.dsp-agrosoft.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb\/42895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.dsp-agrosoft.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kb_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.dsp-agrosoft.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb_category?post=42887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
