Metabolic disorders as a factor in pathogenesis of infectious diseases in cattle by A. D. Alekseev

“…High-yielding dairy cows with intense metabolism are especially sensitive to errors in feeding practices, because even minor nutritional or mineral deficiencies cause metabolic disorders leading to immunodeficiency conditions, reduced resistance to infectious agents and raised sensitivity to infections with pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. Besides some infections, for example acute respiratory diseases, also result in metabolic disorders, immunosuppression, decrease in the overall resistance of the organism and ultimately in mixed infections. …”
