Fatty Liver in dairy cows, termed as the fat cow syndrome, fatty live or pregnancy toxaemia of cattle is cused by excessive mobilization of body fat which occurs in high yielding dairy cows in which the demands for energy exceed the supply. The clinical syndrome is associated with an increased incidence of metabolic, infectious and reproductive disorders such as parturient paresis, ketosis, displacement of abomasum, retained placenta, mastitis and metritis. The purpose of this study is to measure lipod content in live biopsies for the determination of the presence and degree of the fatty live in dairy cow in periparturient disease.
