Transition Cow Metabolic Pack
Ketone, fat-mobilisation, mineral and sugar checks for dairy cows and buffaloes around calving.
4 tests in one package · Sample: Serum
The Transition Cow Metabolic Pack checks BHB and NEFA, which show whether an animal is burning too much body fat, along with calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and blood sugar. The weeks around calving are when ketosis, milk fever and a fall in milk are most likely, so these tests help a farmer and vet find problems early. A registered veterinarian reads the results together with the animal's signs and history.
Tests inside this package
-
A BHB test measures beta-hydroxybutyrate, the main ketone in the blood, which rises when the body burns fat for energy. It is commonly used to screen cows and buffaloes for ketosis around calving and to help assess diabetic ketoacidosis in dogs and cats.
BiochemistrySample: Serum (plain)
-
A NEFA test measures non-esterified fatty acids, the fats released from body fat when a cow or buffalo is short of energy. Vets commonly use it with BHB, the main blood ketone, to judge how well dairy animals are coping in the weeks around calving.
BiochemistrySample: Serum (plain)
-
Mineral profile (calcium, phosphorus & magnesium)
A mineral profile measures calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in one blood sample. It helps a vet look into bone, muscle and nerve problems in pets, and milk fever and other mineral problems around calving in cows and buffaloes.
BiochemistrySample: Serum (plain)
-
A Glucose Random (RBS) test measures the sugar in the blood at any time of day, with no fasting needed. It can help find diabetes, low sugar and energy problems in dogs, cats, cows and buffaloes.
BiochemistrySample: Fluoride plasmaSingle test: ₹180

Ketosis in Dairy Animals: BHB and NEFA Tests
Ketosis happens when a dairy animal burns too much body fat for energy, most often in the weeks around calving. Blood tests for BHB and NEFA, and a milk ketone test, can help a vet find it, even before the signs are clear.

Milk Fever and Mineral Tests: Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium
Milk fever is a sudden drop in blood calcium around calving that can leave a cow or buffalo unable to stand. A vet should be called at once, and blood tests for calcium, phosphorus and magnesium help confirm it and look for similar problems.
