Abstract
The classical metabolic diseases are non–infectious diseases such as milk fever, hypomagnesaemia and ketosis. Recently the fatty liver syndrome26 has been shown to be associated with these conditions and also with several other periparturient problems such as mastitis, retained placenta and infertility. In addition, there are many metabolic diseases caused by nutritional deficiencies of either the major or the trace mineral elements. In the past few years new ideas or methods have been introduced for the treatment of all these diseases. The purpose of this paper is to review these recent advances.
