Propylene glycol - energy Supplement for the treatment and prevention of ketosis.

Description

Propylene glycol is glucobrassicin connection, which in the exchange of substances used in the synthesis of carbohydrate compounds (gluconeogenesis). Gluconeogenesis determines the productivity of the energy metabolism of the cow and is of crucial attention to the amount of milk and protein content in milk. A limiting factor in gluconeogenesis – the synthesis of propionic acid in the rumen. Therefore, mainly in the United States, began to try, with the help of glycogenic compounds such as propylene glycol, to improve the provision of high-yielding cows of energy and thereby reduce the incidence of ketosis.

Composition

1,2-PROPANEDIOL (propylene glycol) 99% is a colorless hygroscopic liquid pharmaceutical quality. The substance is readily soluble in water or alcohol in all proportions.

Pharmacological properties

Propylene glycol is very rapidly absorbed in the rumen of the animal and through the blood reaches the liver. There it is used for glucose synthesis. For cattle the contents in the propylene glycol energy is 16.8 MJ, CAL per kg dry matter. 

Application

Can be diluted with water and administered either in the feed mill, or a watering can to evenly water the food. Effective prevention and treatment of ketosis.

Important:at the beginning of the use of propylene glycol are gradually introduced into the diet in the first 5-6 days to enter a maximum of 100 g, and then to increase

Dosage

Prevention:

-Fresh cows since calving to the fourth week of lactation —150 - 250 g/head/day

Treatment:
-250-325 g/head/day for 10 days.
The concentrate must be drunk individually diluted in 5-10 liters of water.

Contraindications
