Abstract

Objective: To describe the main blood disorders caused by hypophosphatemia (low level of phosphorous (P) in the blood) in dairy cows.


Design/methodology/approach: An analysis of published research on blood disorders caused by hypophosphatemia in dairy cows was performed.


Results: In addition to decreasing milk production and causing various reproductive and metabolic disorders, hypophosphatemia can cause alterations in blood cells, mainly erythrocytes, due to the decrease in P to generate ATP and alterations in the cell membrane phospholipids.


Study limitations/implications: There are few studies that describe how P affects different blood cells or their components.


Findings/conclusions: Hypophosphatemia has been associated with structural and functional alterations in blood cells.
