If many cases of ketosis are occuring on one farm this suggests that the nutrition of the cows must be looked at. Cows should not be a high body condition score when they calve. Cows should be encouraged to eat and maintain a high feed intake in the transition period to avoid entering a negative energy balance state.

If many cases of ketosis are occuring on one farm this suggests that the nutrition of the cows must be studied. Cows should not be a high body condition score when they calve as these cows mobilise more adipose tissue and are at a greater risk of ketosis. Cows should be encouraged to eat and maintain a high feed intake in the late gestation and transition period to avoid entering a negative energy balance state.
