Abstract
Catosal® (Bayer, Shawnee Mission, Kansas, USA) is a sterile solution containing 10% butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), and is intended to prevent or treat deficiencies of these nutrients. Supplemental vitamin B12 may enhance gluconeogenesis through its role in methylmalonyl-CoAmutase. Phosphorus plays important roles in the hydrogen buffering system in the blood, is a critical component of nucleic acids, and is clinically important due to its role in postparturient paresis in dairy cattle. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of two 25 mL injections of Catosal® on the serum BHBA, calcium, and phosphorus concentrations of cows in the early postparturient period.
