Studies on Ketosis in Dairy Cattle. VII. The Efficacy of B Vitamins and Methionine in the Treatment of Ketosis¹

Department of Dairy Industry, Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station, Storrs, Connecticut

ABSTRACT

Conclusions:

1. Thiamine hydrochloride when administered alone either orally or intravenously or in combination with nicotinic acid, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, pyridoxine, para aminobenzoic acid, inositol, choline, and biotin, was ineffective in the treatment of ketosis in lactating cows. Likewise the efficacy of glucose did not appear to be enhanced by the administration of thiamine hydrochloride, riboflavin, pyridoxine, nicotinic acid, and calcium pantothenate.
   
2. Methionine was ineffective in the treatment of ketosis when administered either orally or intravenously.
