Simpler ketosis treatment a winner

A simpler method to treat cows for ketosis has won the livestock innovation award at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show.

Veterinarian Behnam Abbasian made a capsule containing liquid propylene glycol at his London lab, BioFerScience, so all that’s needed is the capsule instead of holding up the cow’s head to force her to swallow a liquid treatment.

BioFerScience specializes in encapsulation, or the protection, of microbes that promote health.

In addition to his veterinary degree, Abbasian has a microbiology degree from the University of Western Ontario in London.
