METABOLIC DISORDERS ARE ONE OF THE ETIOLOGY FACTORS OF POSTPARTUM PATHOLOGY IN COWS

Abstract

In conditions of intensive livestock farming, metabolic disorders are the main etiological factor in the occurrence of postpartum and obstetric-gynecological pathology [1]. In this regard, there is a need for scientifically based studies of the physiological mechanisms of regulation of the reproductive capacity of animals. As practice shows [2], violation of the requirements for feeding and keeping pregnant cows and heifers leads to underproduction of 15–20% of calves [3]. In addition, the consequences of inappropriate living conditions for pregnant females can lead to the occurrence of metabolic diseases after calving (acetonemia, ketosis, osteodystrophy, postpartum paresis, eclampsia and postpartum cow confinemen). Therefore, one of the most important stages of obstetric-gynecological dispensary examination of cows is a biochemical study of their blood in order to identify metabolic disorders.
