Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in biochemical and metabolic biomarkers in urine, milk and blood of ketotic dairy cows in and around Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, before and after treatment. Thirty of 100 ketotic cows identified from a population of 1014 cows were equally divided into three groups of 10 animals each while group IV selected from the population under investigation was treated as control. Following treatment in group III, the ALT, AST, ALP and LDH levels observed in ketotic animals at pre-treatment were decreased maximum at post-treatment. It can be concluded that the treatment package comprising of Dextrose (25%) intravenously, sodium propionate (orally), liver extract with vitamin B complex injection intramuscularly, dexamethasone injection intravenously and insulin injection subcutaneously practiced in group III was the most efficacious and superior to group I and II in the treatment of bovine ketosis for bringing the biochemical profiles to normal. The therapeutic regimen of group III exhibited better performance than other groups might be due to the synergistic therapeutic effect of insulin in glucose metabolism.
