| Popis: | Pregnancy toxemia commonly affects pregnant ewes and does during late gestation. This metabolic disease is thought to result from disruption of the dam's glucose homeostatic mechanism in response to increased nutritional demands of the rapidly developing fetal placental unit. Commercial production systems are comprised of a variety of nutritional, metabolic, genetic, physiologic, environmental, economic, health, and management factors that singularly or as a group influence the clinical expression of pregnancy toxemia. Recognizing the role management plays in controlling these inputs is crucial to pregnancy toxemia prevention and treatment programs. |
