Ketosis and Subclinical Ketosis on Dairy Cow and our ENZYMES
Ketosis is a metabolic state characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood or urine. Physiologic ketosis is a normal response to low glucose availability, such as low-carbohydrate diets or fasting, that provides an additional energy source for the brain in the form of ketones.
Subclinical ketosis (SCK) in dairy cows is a common metabolic disorder that can appear during the transition period, dry period, or calving, or in early lactation, where the highest incidence of SCK occurs within the first 2 to 3 weeks of lactation
Clinical ketosis (CK) and subclinical ketosis (SCK) are associated with lower milk production, lower reproductive performance, an increased culling of cows and an increased probability of other disorders.
A recent comprehensive model estimated the average cost of a case of ketosis to be $289; however, it was based on conditions within the US dairy industry.
From the definition of Ketosis we can find the cause of ketosis is low glucose availability.
Our solution is as follows:
1. We shall know 20% of rumen bypass starch was undigested, as the insufficiency of pancreatic amylase.
2. By using our rumen bypass technology, we can deliver amylase directly into small intestine. Thus it fills up the insufficient of pancreatic amylase activity.
3. Amylase can hydrolyze starch into glucose in very high efficient way in small intestine.
4. Huge amount of glucose will be available in small intestine.
5. We transfer the wasted starch into highly needed glucose.
