Effectiveness of treatment of cows for disordered metabolism

Dairy cows are often diagnosed with metabolic disorders during the transit period, which, in turn, are the cause of secondary diseases. Violation of animal metabolism indicates complications of adaptation to conditions of keeping and feeding and whole imbalance of homeostasis of the organism. Ketosis, osteodystrophy, acidosis, alkalosis, rennet displacement, which occur mainly in the form of polymorbid pathology are the most common diseases of cows in the transit period. The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of Vitazal and Cyanophor drugs, including a number of general and special research methods: analysis of cow feeding, conditions of keeping, determination of the causes of the disease, as well as clinical and laboratory parameters. In order to restore the disturbed metabolism of cows before and after calving against the background of correction of rations in terms of nutrients and exchangeable energy, it was expedient to use complex veterinary drugs, the active substances of which are butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin. Vitazal and Cyanofor are Ukrainian drugs that have a positive effect on metabolism and stimulate the immune status of cows and contain such active substances which are recommended for use in complex therapy. According to the results of the study, the use of these drugs on the background of diet correction and the use of the DairySafe feed supplement (Germany, JOSERA) as well as the Forvit, which contains a solution of vitamins A, D, E and F improved clinical indicators, increased the general tone of the body, normalized morphological and biochemical indicators of blood, especially the number of erythrocytes and leukocytes, total protein, phosphorus-calcium ratio, alkaline reserve, transaminase activity, reduced the content of ketone bodies. It was found that the use of the studied drugs reduced the manifestations of intoxication and restored the physiological state of cows. The introduction of Vitazal and Cyanophor drugs into clinical veterinary practice will expand the list of drugs of this group, which will enable veterinarians to use them as part of complex therapy and prevention of metabolic disorders in cows.
