KetoCheck™ can rapidly determine whether a cow is suffering from subclinical ketosis by testing for ketone bodies in cow plasma, urine or milk.
Ketosis is associated with a drop in milk production, loss of appetite, weight loss, nervousness or high excitability. It can occur in lactating cows a few days or up to eight weeks after calving. Using KetoCheck™ powder to test for ketones allows you to obtain quick, reliable results in just minutes.
You can purchase KetoCheck™ in a 50-gram bottle for multiple uses.
