Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Dairy Distillers Poisoning
First, prevention is crucial when feeding dairy cows with fresh vinasse and distillers' grains. These by-products should not be stored for too long. If storage is necessary, they should be spread out in a well-ventilated area, covered properly to protect from rain and direct sunlight. Before feeding, it's important to test the quality of the distillers' grains. If there's mild contamination, you can neutralize it by adding lime water or sodium bicarbonate before feeding. However, if the grains are severely contaminated, they should be discarded immediately to avoid health risks. At the same time, proper management is essential—monitor the quantity of distillers' grains given to each cow, keeping it between 5 to 10 kilograms per day to prevent overfeeding.
Second, in case of poisoning, immediate treatment is necessary. (a) Administer 100 to 150 grams of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water to affected cows once. (b) Give 300 to 500 ml of sorbitol or mannitol solution intravenously. (c) Inject a combination of vitamin B1, B6, C, and K (40–60 ml total), 10% sodium benzoate (40 ml), and penicillin (800–1200 units) via intramuscular injection. (d) Prepare a herbal decoction using 100 grams each of Pueraria, raw licorice, yam, and jujube, plus 50 grams each of Astragalus, and feed it once to the affected cows. These steps can help alleviate symptoms and support recovery. Always consult a veterinarian for severe cases to ensure the best care for your herd.
