If acidosis is not treated in time, how to prevent and cure acidosis in dairy cows

Cows suffering from acidosis were all high yielding or had a history of dystocia, and the disease occurred within 3 days after delivery. The disease occurs rapidly, cows are at the beginning of illness, depressed, anorexia, muscle tremors, rumen peristaltic sounds weakened, gait staggered, unstable standing, prone to lying. Late appetite waste, rumination stopped, salivation, rumen wriggle disappeared, sick cattle lying down, watery loose stool, sour smell, and sometimes bloodshot. Decreased milk production, sunken eyes, irregular skin temperature. Normal or slightly low body temperature, rapid heartbeat, up to 100 beats per minute, rapid breathing. If not treated promptly, it can lead to death.

treatment

(1) Prohibition of concentrate feeding and drink restriction to prevent continued acidosis. Gastric lavage with alkaline solution, gastric tube inserted into rumen through oral cavity of dairy cow, liquid content discharged, repeatedly washed with about 8000 ml lime water (lime and water ratio of 1:6, supernatant) until rumen is alkaline.

(2) Systemic therapy to relieve acidosis. 5% sodium bicarbonate solution 1000 ml ~1500 ml iv, when the pH value reaches 6.7, should stop injection, at the same time with 1000 ml 5% glucose saline, 20 ml 5% vitamin B1, 40 ml 5% vitamin C iv injection.

(3) symptomatic treatment to prevent secondary infection. Can be intramuscular injection of 10 ml 10% sodium caffeine, gentamicin can also be used.

(4) After 2~3 days of treatment, cows can stand or have appetite, first give a small amount of high-quality hay to promote gastrointestinal motility, or take 1~2 doses of Chinese medicine. Angelica sinensis 50g, Astragalus root 50g, Radix Codonopsis pilosulae 30g, Lang tablet 40g, tangerine peel 30g, Sichuan Pu 30g, Tsaoko fruit 30g, five herbs 30g, cardamom 30g, malt powder 100g and yeast tablet 60 tablets. A total of fine powder, boiled water, waiting for warm clothing. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to heal.
