Abstract
This NebGuide describes the various implications and effects of dairy cow metabolic problems, their causes, and management recommendations for prevention.
Nutritional imbalances, deficiencies, or erratic management of feeding programs for dairy cows can create large numbers and various types of health problems generally categorized as metabolic diseases.
Compounding the problem are the ever-changing nutritional needs of the cow, her lactation/dry period needs, feed quality changes, and producer personal management practices.
