Fatty Liver Syndrome

Fatty liver syndrome is the accumulation of fat within the cattle’s liver. Fatty liver disease refers to the deposition and build-up of fat in the liver. Fatty liver is a transition phase disease induced by a negative energy balance in dairy cattle. During this period, body fat is mobilised and transferred to the liver as non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) where they are either metabolised to produce glucose, or if supply exceeds metabolic capacity, excess becomes deposited as triacylglycerols.  

Causes behind the Fatty Liver Syndrome

Fatty liver occurs as a result of the cattle breaking down too much fat for the liver to process properly. Fat mobilisation occurs as a result of negative energy balance. The broken down far is then converted back to fat in the liver to prevent them becoming toxic. Thus, the liver becomes fat when the cattle is losing condition, the more loss in condition the more fat in the liver. Fatty liver can develop within 24 hours of an animal going off feed. This is typically around calving time.

Once it is deposited in the liver, the concentration of fat in the liver does not fall until the cattle gets into positive energy balance, which can be over ten weeks after calving, particularly if the fatty liver is severe. Fat cattle’s (Body Condition Score greater than 3.5) are much more prone to fatty liver.

Symptoms of Fatty Liver Syndrome

• Lower milk yields
• Depressed appetite
• Incidences of milk fever, ketosis, mastitis, retained fatal membranes etc
• Reduced fertility

Blood tests will show elevated non-esterified fatty acid concentrations (NEFA) levels (free fatty acids) and increased ketones.

Treatment for this

• Without treatment mortality can be as high as 25 per cent.
• Besides long-term IV infusion of glucagon, there is no proven treatment for fatty liver.
• The fatty liver syndrome is an important economic disease because cattle that develop fatty liver are affected by multiple metabolic and infectious diseases; they reduce milk production, and are frequently culled.

Prevention of Fatty Liver Syndrome

• Ensuring that cattle are calving at the correct body condition would prevent the breakdown of fat and fatty liver. An ideal body condition score to calf would be between 2.5 to 3. Cattle should be dried of at this score and weight maintained through the dry period.
• Changing diets during this period should be avoided.
• Glucose supplements can be given to overfat animals as preventative measure.
• Minimising stress is important for prevention of fatty liver. Sudden changes in environment should be avoided. For example, changes in ration, housing, temperature, herd mates, etc may cause a reduction in feed intake and trigger catecholamine-mediated increases in fat mobilisation.
