Dexamethasone for cows

To each cow or heifer, 10 to 20 mg dose of glucocorticoids (Dexamethasone or Betamethasone) was given intramuscularly 1 to 3 times, coupled with an

Sixty Holstein cows were paired by parity and sire, and one of each pair was allocated at random to treatment or control; 17 cows were injected with 7.5 mg/100 kg dexamethasone trioxa undecanoate 14 days before the predicted date of calving, 13 cows received the same dose five days before term and 3

Here, we report that the administration of dexamethasone to cows experiencing a difficult calving increased serum haptoglobin concentrations in primiparous cows, altered activity and lying behaviors, and reduced milk yield for the first month following calving regardless of parity.

dexamethasone is an appropriate treatment for cows experiencing a difficult calving. Specifically, our objec-tives were to determine whether dexamethasone treat-ment attenuates inflammation, alters lying behaviors and activity, and enhances lactational performance in postpartum cows following a difficult calving. We

Dexamethasone treatment increased serum haptoglobin concentrations in primiparous dystocic cows. Moreover, dexamethasone treatment reduced activity for the first week postcalving. Because of the negative effects of dexamethasone on milk yield for the first month following calving, this treatment may not be advised for widespread farm application.

The response and effects of inducing parturition on day 274 of gestation in dairy cows has been investigated in Australia. Cows were injected with dexamethasone trimethylacetate with herdmates as controls. Treated cows calved an average of 2.61 days before their due date.

Dexamethasone is a synthetic corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory activity. Milk for human consumption may be taken from cows only
