Oral treatment of hypokalemia with potassium chloride and propylene glycol in cows

Hypokalemia is a fatal metabolic, pathological and induced disorder of Potassium, manifested by low serum levels generally encountered in lactating animals during thermal-stress. Currently Potassium given normal saline intravenously very slowly. This method costly, risky laborious. To study the effect oral administration 12 g elemental 200 ml Propylene glycol orally hypokalemic cows. After estimating level potassium with Serum, analyzer, Nutri-Pot (A) containing 50-gram pouch (B) Glycol 28 clinically cows was studied. Both A & B were mixed drinking water slowly drenched second dose repeated after hours. Out cows, 26 recovered fully returned to condition milk production. Combined drenching only safest, most effective economical than through balling gun gelatin boluses or ororuminal intubation. Or parenteral administration.
