Abstract

The research aims to detect the possible cases of subclinical ketosis in the heavy milk producing cows bred in the regions of the RA and to provide professional support to the farmers.
Clinical and laboratory tests of the animal blood, urine and milk were conducted in the farms by using Lestrade’s and Liben’s methods, as well as URIPATH-10 and SERVOTEST-KETOLAC tests.
All cases of identified ketosis were induced by protein overfeeding and lack of digestible carbohydrates in the feed ration.
For curative purposes it is recommended to supplement the food ration with easy digested carbohydrates and administer 5 %
glucose solution, E-selenium and dexamethasone.
