Introduction
Potassium is one of the major intracellular cations . Sufficient level of potassium is needed for : cellular flexibility power, nerve impulse transfer, smooth ,skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction , normal renal function and body fluids electrolyte balance. Also, potassium has roles in carbohydrate consumption and protein synthesis. Chloride is the major extracellular anion which has close relation with sodium metabolism and any change in extracellular chloride concentration affects on body acid –base balance. Hypokalemia is a common metabolic disorder in milking dairy cows following of clinical mastitis and metritis induced appetite loss , upper GI tract obstruction ( including abomasum displacement , abomasum torsion and abomasum impaction ), severe diarrhea and other diseases. Hypokalemia predisposes animal to general muscle weakness (ended to downer syndrome) , depression , complete appetite loss , cardiac arhythmia (Atrial fibrillation ), metabolic disorders, production loss and reproduction system inefficiency.
