Metabolic Issues / Down Cows
What is it?
Metabolic issues in dairy cows, like milk fever, ketosis, and hypocalcaemia, often occur post-calving due to nutrient imbalances, leading to “down cows” that can’t stand. Untreated, these conditions can cause permanent damage or death.
Symptoms
- Muscle tremors, wobbliness, or inability to stand
- Loss of appetite

- Lying down and refusing to get up, often resting on their chest
