VetSight Cow Milk Ketone BHB Meter is a significant tool for early detection and monitoring of ketosis in dairy cows, particularly during the early stages of lactation. By measuring beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) levels in milk, this test enables farmers to identify subclinical ketosis before clinical symptoms appear, facilitating timely interventions to improve animal health and milk production. Regular monitoring helps optimize herd management, adjust diets, and ensure high milk quality by preventing the impact of ketosis on milk composition. This non-invasive and cost-effective test plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall productivity and welfare of dairy herds.

Cost-Effective
Herd Management
Ketosis can cost up to $289 per cow annually in reduced milk yield, treatment costs, and poor fertility. Proactively monitoring milk BHB levels allows for timely interventions, keeping cows healthy and productive.
