Mineral metabolism in cows with subclinical ketosis

The dynamics of biochemical indices of the mineral metabolism of dairy cows, patients with a subclinical form of ketosis, was studied against the background of correction by a means consisting of succinic acid and an organic compound of phosphorus. The studies were carried out on three groups of novice cows, two of which were administered the test preparation in different doses, the third served as a control. Intramuscular injection to cows with subclinical ketosis positively influences metabolic processes, which was expressed by normalization of acid-base balance, increase by the end of the experiment of a reduced background level of total calcium and inorganic phosphorus by 25-45% compared to the control group. The positive effect was also reflected in the dynamics of some indicators of trace elements (zinc, copper, iron), but there are no significant differences with respect to the control group.
