Cover Story: Subclinical ketosis (SCK) is a common condition of early-lactating dairy cows resulting in increased susceptibility to periparturient diseases and metabolic disorders. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of a varying dietary energy supply and the impact of SCK on the liver and general health aspects in Holstein cows. SCK is characterized by an elevated level of blood β-hydroxybutyrate, which was used as a retrospective grouping criterion in this study. Our findings highlight an individual risk of developing metabolic derailment in the postnatal period often associated with SCK and fatty liver syndrome. This is closely associated with the impairment of liver function and immune response with negative consequences for dairy cow health and productivity. View this paper.
