The research goal was to study the dependence of ketosis syndrome severity of cows on the ketone body level in their blood. Ketotic cows were subjected to clinical and biochemical tests. Biochemical blood tests determined the following: total ketone bodies (TKB), beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB), acetoacetic acid and acetone (AcAc), BHB/AcAc ratio, glucose and alkaline reserve. It has been found that bovine ketosis occurs as acetonemic syndrome (65% of cases), gastroenteric syndrome (21%), and hepatotoxic syndrome (14%). The comparison of the ketone body levels and ketosis syndromes has revealed that the acetonemic syndrome is accompanied by the greatest TKB and BHB/AcAc ratio values. The gastroenteric syndrome is accompanied by intermediate TKB, BHB and AcAc values, and the minimum levels of glucose and alkaline reserve. The hepatotoxic syndrome is accompanied by the minimum TKB and BHB/AcAc ratio values, and the greatest glucose and alkaline reserve levels as compared to the other syndromes.
