Treatment for osteoporosis in dairy cows! Osteoporosis in dairy cows is caused by insufficient minerals such as calcium and phosphorus in the feed, and insufficient addition of exogenous minerals is more likely to induce this disease. The main cows are newly purchased cows, which are more common in the third trimester of pregnancy, especially shortly after childbirth.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > osteoporosis in dairy cows is caused by insufficient minerals such as calcium and phosphorus in the feed, and the addition of exogenous minerals is insufficient, which is more likely to induce this disease. The main cows are newly purchased cows, which are more common in the third trimester of pregnancy, especially shortly after childbirth. </h1>

Clinical symptoms

Sick cows show wasting, depression, sunken eye sockets, normal or low body temperature, loss of appetite, weakening or cessation of rumination, and significant decrease in milk production. Most sick cows have varying degrees of anterior stomach relaxation or wheezing, and some sick cows sweat all over their bodies or backs after milking. Some cattle have a different habit, eating bricks, plastic products, rubber and so on. On percussion of the forehead and nasal bone, an empty sound due to osteoporosis can be heard; the tail vertebrae are counted down to 1 to 5 tails, and the vertebrae are soft as ropes and can be bent arbitrarily. The limbs are strongly restrained and limp, and some drag the back limbs when walking, the hooves grow poorly, the wear is not correct, the hooves are deformed, and they are curved and curled. The bow waist pulls the crotch, the hind limbs swing, and the movement is difficult.

diagnosis

Diagnosis is confirmed based on clinical symptoms and serological tests (serum calcium and phosphorus are lower than normal).

Treatment

For sick cows treated with low phosphorus, 30 g to 60 g of sodium dihydrogen phosphate is given intravenously. With vitamin A, D5 ml to 10 ml, intramuscular injection. Intravenous injection of calcium gluconate in cattle with low calcium disease is 100 ml to 300 ml, with vitamin A, D5 ml to 10 ml, intramuscular injection (5 days to 7 days for a course of treatment).

For diarrhea caused by excessive magnesium content, the content of magnesium in mineral feed additives can be appropriately reduced. Insufficient chlorine may be caused by insufficient amount of table salt fed, or poor quality of table salt, and high-quality table salt should be added appropriately.

Symptomatic treatment For sick cattle that are not severely deficient in phosphorus or calcium, or sweating and transphilia after milking, calcium of 250 grams and sodium dihydrogen phosphate 500 grams can be used and mixed with feed for 7 to 10 days. VitaminS A and D500 g are mixed with 1000 kg of feed and fed.

brief summary

Serological tests should be done in time for pathogenic cattle for symptomatic treatment and cause treatment. It should be what is missing, and appropriate feeding to feed with high vitamin A and D content can be given to carrots 7.5 kg to 10 kg per day. The ratio of calcium and phosphorus in dairy cattle feed is 1.8:1 or 2:1. Feeding additives should pay attention to quality and dosage to prevent poisoning.
