ABSTRACT: Excessive and protracted lipolysis in adipose tissues of dairy cows is a major risk factor for clinical ketosis (CK). This metabolic disease is common in postpartum cows when lipolysis provides fatty acids as an energy substrate to offset negative energy balance. Lipolysis in cows can be induced by the canonical (hormonally induced) and inflammatory pathways. Current treatments for CK focus on improving glucose in blood (i.e., oral propylene glycol [PG], or i.v. dextrose). However, these therapies do not inhibit the canonical and inflammatory lipolytic pathways. Niacin (NIA) can reduce activation of the canonical pathway. Blocking inflammatory responses with cyclooxygenase inhibitors such as flunixin meglumine (FM) can inhibit inflammatory lipolytic activity. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of including NIA and FM in the standard PG treatment for postpartum CK on circulating concentrations of ketone bodies. A 4-group, parallel, individually randomized trial was conducted in multiparous Jersey cows (n = 80) from a commercial dairy in Michigan during a 7-mo period. Eligible cows had CK symptoms (lethargy, depressed appetite, and milk yield) and hyperketonemia (blood β-hydroxybutyrate [BHB] ≥1.2 mmol/L). Cows with CK were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups where the first group received 310 g of oral PG once per day for 5 d; the second group received PG for 5 d + 24 g of oral NIA once per day for 3 d (PGNIA); and the third group received PG for 5 d + NIA for 3 d + 1.1 mg/kg i.v. FM once per day for 3 d (PGNIAFM). The control group consisted of cows that were clinically healthy (HC; untreated; BHB |
