Ketosis Report

In the first few weeks of lactation (up to 60 DIM), cows are vulnerable to developing a negative energy balance, which can affect milk production and chances of conceiving. Accurate alerts to cases of suspected ketosis enable users to take steps to monitor cows at risk, correctly identify cows with ketosis, and treat the health issue before its impact extends. Preventing ketosis or implementing early treatment reduces the incidence and severity of the disorder and the impact this has on yield.

Risk factors for developing ketosis include:

• Cow received 3.75 BCS or higher before her dry period.

• Cow with an extended dry period – animal that was dried for 70 days or more.

• Cow with more than one offspring.

• Cow that lost 8% or more weight during the first 5 to 30 DIM (for farms with weight scale).

• Cow with an increase in yield along with an increase in her Fat/Protein ratio (for farms with AfiLab).

The report lists all cows with suspected ketosis.

Column	Description
Cow	Displays cow number in orange if any of her risk factors exceed the threshold.
BCS at dry	Displays the cow's Body Condition Score. 1=very thin; 5 = very fat. A value of 3.75 or higher indicates a high risk of ketosis.
Offspring amount	Displays the number of offspring. Cow's with more than one offspring displayed in purple.
Prev. dry days	Displays dry days during previous lactation. Dry days of 70 or over are marked in color.
Fat/Protein	Displays the fat/protein ratio for the last sessions. Ratios that exceed their threshold are displayed in red. For more information see Detect Sub-Acute Ruminal Acidosis, Monitor Herd Fat/Protein Ratio , and Verify Causes of Nutritional Imbalances
Yield	Displays cow's production for each session.
Daily Yield	Displays cow's total milk production for last completed milking sessions (in last 24 hours).
Daily Average Yield	Displays cow's average yield for last 10 days.
Yield Last 24H (%)	Displays cow's percentage yield deviation, based on 10-day average. Deviations that exceed their thresholds are displayed blue. Deviations that exceed the thresholds are a good indication of clinical ketosis. Alone, this deviation does not cause the cow to be included in the report. For this, it must be accompanied by a decline in yield.
% Loss of weight	Displays, in percentage, the cow's average weight in comparison to her average weight for the last 5 DIM. Deviations that exceed the threshold are displayed red.
