TLDR Chronic ketosis in cows causes appetite changes, anemia, skin issues, increased pulse, and biochemical imbalances.
The article discusses subclinical ketosis in cows during late pregnancy, highlighting symptoms such as changes in appetite during lactation, anemia of the mucous membranes, decreased skin elasticity and luster, increased pulse and respiration, abdominal hypotension, and alopecia. Biochemical indicators include decreased levels of hemoglobin, glucose, total calcium, inorganic phosphorus, carotene, and alkaline reserves, alongside increased ketone bodies and decreased number and activity of infusoria in the large abdominal fluid, leading to large abdominal acidosis.
