Farmers need to stay alert for tell-tale warning symptoms in their cattle if the “$10 disease” is to be kept under control.
This disease, ketosis, gets its $10 label because annually it causes losses in excess of $10 million in the 1 million cows it affects. It strikes ms, too, and causes additional losses there.
Ketosis is generally regarded as a man-made disease because it appears to have developed as a result of breeding for more and more milk production. The result is often disastrous, for animals frequently succumb to ketosis because of the extreme demands of high lactation.
Symptoms of ketosis include reduced milk production, reduced appetite, a blank and staring look, an odor like banana oil on the breath, depression, or sometimes extreme nervousness. Generally, it occurs one to six weeks after calving. It rarely is seen in firstcalf heifers.
