The objective of this paper is to characterize the fat cow syndrome. This condition refers to a combination of metabolic, digestive, infectious, and reproductive conditions which affects the obese periparturient cow. The condition develops primarily due to faulty feed management which permits excessive consumption of unbalanced diets. The syndrome is frequently a herd problem characterized by a high morbidity and mortality due to an increase in disease in periparturient cows. Clinical signs include depression, anorexia, ketonuria, marked decrease in production, progressive debilitation, weakness, nervous signs, and an elevation in temperature due to infectious disease. The obesity is generalized throughout the body with extensive fatty metamorphosis in the liver. Histological changes are primarily in the liver and kidney. Treatment of the condition consists of feeding a balanced diet, symptomatic treatment, and good supportive care. The condition can be prevented by feeding a balanced diet according to nutrient requirements of the National Research Council.
本文的目的是描述肥母牛综合征。这种情况指的是一系列代谢、消化、感染和生殖方面的病症组合，会影响肥胖的围产期母牛。该病症主要是由于错误的饲料管理导致过度摄入不均衡日粮而引发。这种综合征常常是一个牛群问题，其特征是围产期母牛疾病增多，发病率和死亡率较高。临床症状包括抑郁、厌食、酮尿、产奶量显著下降、渐进性衰弱、虚弱、神经症状以及因传染病导致的体温升高。肥胖遍布全身，肝脏出现广泛的脂肪变性。组织学变化主要发生在肝脏和肾脏。该病症的治疗包括提供均衡日粮、对症治疗以及良好的支持性护理。根据美国国家研究委员会的营养需求提供均衡日粮可预防该病症。
