Fatty liver disease usually occurs in periparturient dairy cows. However, this case study describes the occurrence of the disease in maiden heifers on a dairy farm during late gestation. It resulted in the death of 5 heifers (21-25 months of age) within 31 days after turning them out to grass. The diagnosis was confirmed by blood testing and gross pathology findings. Housing the animals and providing them with good quality grass silage prevented further clinical cases.
脂肪肝疾病通常发生在围产期的奶牛身上。然而，本案例研究描述了一个奶牛场中初产小母牛在妊娠后期发生该疾病的情况。这导致5头小母牛（21 - 25月龄）在放牧后31天内死亡。通过血液检测和大体病理学检查结果确诊。将动物圈养并为它们提供优质青贮草料可防止进一步出现临床病例。
