    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Parturient dairy cows resistant to milk fever treatment experienced muscle degeneration, possibly due to low vitamin E and selenium. This syndrome also correlated with retained placentae in affected cows.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Animal Nutrition
    • Ruminant Health

    Background:

    • Parturient dairy cows can present with signs similar to milk fever.
    • Conventional milk fever treatments are sometimes ineffective in certain cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Describe a specific syndrome in dairy cows unresponsive to milk fever therapy.
    • Investigate potential causes and pathological findings associated with this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation of affected dairy cows.
    • Gross and histological examination of affected tissues.
    • Nutritional assessment of affected herds.

    Main Results:

    • Affected cows exhibited reluctance to walk, stiffness, and recumbency.

  • Low vitamin E and selenium intake, pregnancy stress, and erratic feeding were identified as potential triggers.
  • Skeletal and cardiac myodegeneration were observed.
  • A high incidence of retained placentae was noted.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described syndrome in dairy cows may be linked to nutritional deficiencies (vitamin E, selenium) and physiological stress.
    • Myodegeneration and retained placentae are significant pathological findings.
    • Further research into the etiology and management of this condition is warranted.
