Ketosis is the most common metabolic disease in high-performance dairy cows during the first 6-8 weeksof lactation. Its main symptoms include an excessive amount of so-called ketone bodies in a cow™s bodyfluids. Ketone bodies consist of -hydroxybutyric acid (HBA), acetoacetic acid, and acetone. HBA is themain component with its share of the total volume of ketone bodies in the blood of about 70%. Besides,since hyperketonemia is a typical production disease for high-yielding cows, in which the animal haselevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood, milk, and urine, with often reduced glucose levels, but doesnot yet show clinical signs.
