Higher Production From Dairy Cows
May Bring On Disastrous Diseases

One explanation Of ketosis
goes something like this: In the
absence Of proper nutritive in
take or utilization, the cows
body begins to tear itself down
by converting fat into sugar,
which it can utilize for energy.
This means that chemicals
known as "ketones" are left
over, to circulate in the cows
system, and cause the condition
known as ketosis. In the
healthy, well-fed cow. the milk
producing organs are geared to
high production, but the re-
mainder Of the body becomes
exhausted and fails to keep up
with the demands placed upon
it.
Symptoms Of ketosis may in
clude several types, such as loss
Of appetite, decrease in milk
flow, excitement, staggering,
swaying, biting or drooling.
Owners should watch for these
danger signs and get prompt
professional help if losses are
to be kept to a minimum. Often
there are a number of less spec
tacular symptoms, nervous and
otherwise, which may make d.
agnosis even more difficult.
The most costly dairy cattle
disease of all, of course, is mas
tits. Except for the fact that
dairymen are constantly breed
ing for bigger and better udders
in the battle for production,
blame for development of this
condition usually can be placed
on the men actually handling the
cows, and also on lack of sens
IDLE and sound preventative and
treatment measures. The Amer
lean Foundation for Animal
Health says that two factors
are Of primary Importance in
controlling and graduating mas
tits: - eliminating conditions
which can cause damage and
harm to udders; q refusing to
thinker" with this costly dis
ease, and entering upon an all
out program to wipe it out COM
pletely.
In eliminating conditions that
can help bring on mastitis, Foun-
dation authorities suggest these
steps: removing hopeless cases
which can infect other cows in
the herd, removing all objects

which can cause injury Of the
udders (ranging from stumps in
the field to improper vacuum in
milking machines) and above all.
relying on cleanliness and SAM
tation both in handling and
milking cows.
As to . drive to really clean
up mastitis in q herd, that takes
determination and perseverance,
but will pay big dividends in the
end. First, the owner must rec
ognize that there are several
types Of mastitis, with several
kinds Of germs, yeasts, and
other causative agents involved.
So, the first thing to do is have
q veterinarian examine the herd,
determine which germ or other
agent is causing the trouble, and
then prescribe medication that
will clean out that specific
agent. But this isn't all. A fol-
low-up program Of re-examina-
ton Of the cows at intervals is
also important. This helps to in
sure that the disease will not
sneak back and leave the job
to be done all over again. Don't
tinker" with mastitis, don't use
halfway measures, are the
Foundations final words on this
subject.
OF one fact we can all be sure
-. as we push our cows harder
to get ever higher production,
they are more and more likely
to be subject to these conditions,
unless we keep a constant alert,

Why do dairy cows break
down :. and why are the high
est-producing cows sometimes
the first to break down?
In the answers to those ques-
lions can come a big difference
in profits to many farmers.
Some Of the answers are known:
same are not known. But the
known causes, and the known
answers, are well worth paying
attention to.
One thing is sure; one factor
that contributes to the break
down Of many cows is a by
product of our constant attempt
to boost production. According
to the American Foundation for
Animal Health, there are at
least three disease conditions
which can be generated wholly
or in part by this race to push
the cow for higher produc-
ton. There are also other lesser
conditions which come from. this
production push, but which do
not appear so prominently in
the picture.
Three Of the conditions which
can have a major effect on the
cows body and health are milk
fever, ketosis and mastitis.
Milk fever probably causes
the most acute death losses a
mong dairy cows. This disease
almost invariably strikes the
best cows in the herd; it rarely
Affects heifers. The attack Of
milk fever generally occurs
within IL to ~ hours after calv-
ing, although sometimes it can
occur months later. Even today,
the whole picture concerning
milk fever is not fully under
stood, but cows stricken by this
disease have a sharply-reduced
blood calcium level. When one
that the first 24-hour
supply of mothers milk con-
tains more calcium than is gen.
orally found in the entire body
Of the cow, it is little wonder
that high producers develop this
condition.
Symptoms of milk fever in
clude staggering and weaving;
late the cow may become pros
trate, with the head and neck
drawn sharply to one side. When
any of these signs appear, early
treatment / a veterinarian can
usually save the sick animal.
Too long a delay in treatment,
however, may mean the loss of
q valuable producer. s..
Another disease Of high-pro-
ducing cows, ketosis, also goes
under the name of acetonemia.
This disease likewise occurs
often within a few days after
and is believed by many
veterinary authorities to be due
to deficiencies in the animals
nutrition, in connection with
production of the calf.
