To obtain information about the downer cow syndrome in the south of Chile, the biochemical composition of 76 blood samples, from downer cows was determined. The samples were analyzed for Beta-hydroxy-butyrate, urea, total proteins, albumins, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, AST, GLDH and GGT and the results compared with reference values. The most common blood abnormalities found were: increased AST (82%), hypocalcaemia (51%) hypomagnesaemia (47%), uraemia (49%, hypokalaemia (38%) and increased GLDH (33%). According to blood analysis, hypomagnesaemia (33%) and milk fever (26%) were the most common diagnoses. Other alterations associated with downer cows were nutritional deficiency (11%), liver damage (9%), hypokalaemia (4%) and ketosis (3%). No metabolic abnormalities were identified in 13% of the cases. The results are a first approach to the understanding of metabolic disturbances associated with downer cows in Chile and provide orientation for further studies to improve the prevention and treatment of this syndrome.
