Consequences of preventing Ketosis on Ruminal acidosis and viceversa
Description:
The activity proposed in this learning design aims to enhance the understanding of the students about two specific metabolic diseases (Ketosis and Ruminal acidosis) in dairy cows. After this activity, the students will not be only able to describe each of these two metabolic diseases, but also predict consequences of prevention of one of the diseases in the increased prevalence of the other.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Describe the etiology, risk factors and pathophysiology of Ketosis and Ruminal Acidosis in dairy cows around parturition
- Predict consequences of prevention of one of the diseases (e.g. Ketosis) in the increased prevalence of the other (e.g. Ruminal acidosis).
