Ceto Phyton 1 Litre

Product Description

Ceto Phyton®is a unique formulation of sodium propionate, niacin, Sylibum marianum and monopropylene glycol. It is a dietetic supplement to reduce the risk of ketosis in cattle and ewes.

It is a dietetic complementary feed.

Ceto Phyton is a nutritional supplement to help reduce energy imbalances to aid recovery from Twin lamb/kid disease.

Mainly occurs in the last 6 weeks of pregnancy and is caused by an energy deficiency relative to the increasing amount of glucose needed by the rapidly growing foetuses.

The more offspring the ewe/doe is carrying the greater the energy demand which can leave them with a negative energy balance. This leads to fat stores being used to provide additional energy, which in turn produces ketones.

If these are not metabolised quickly enough, they have a detrimental effect on many body systems including the liver, kidneys, and heart.

Ketosis Ceto Phyton. For when she needs to recharge. (Acetonaemia)

There are 2 types of ketosis in cattle:

Type 1: Commonly seen after calving when energy needed for high milk production exceeds intake resulting in a negative energy balance.

This can lead to ketones reaching a level where the cow feels unwell, causing a reduction in milk yield and feed intake. Some breakdown of fat and loss of body condition in early lactation is almost unavoidable causing a slight or moderate increase in blood ketone levels.

This is referred to as subclinical ketosis

Type 2: Type two ketosis occurs when there is already a problem that means the cow is unable or unwilling to eat sufficiently for its needs. Common examples are fatty liver, metritis, displaced abomasum or various metabolic deficiencies. Ketones are chemicals that are produced from fat breakdown.
