Fat Cow Syndrome raises alarm for Wisconsin dairies
Two Wisconsin state veterinarians warn of a rising Fat Cow Syndrome among dairy herds framed as obesity in cattle. They cite a 300 percent increase, linking overfeeding high carbohydrate diets and larger, confined operations to liver damage, calving difficulty, and reduced milk yield. Balanced rations with fiber and carbs are urged to prevent the condition.
