The involvement of adrenocortical and thyroid hormones in the pathogenesis of ketosis, as well as the ovarian consequences of this metabolic disorders were studied in greater than or equal to 2 parity cows in 3 large scale dairy herds. On the results obtained it can be concluded that adrenocortical and thyroid gland functions are involved in the pathogenesis of ketosis. However, only the long-lasting form of hyperketonemia is a real risk factor for subsequent reproduction. Besides the high risk of mortality it may usually results in a serious delay in the time of the first ovulation and first visiable estrus. In the first few days after calving the decreased insulin and IGF-1 levels may be involved in the pathogenesis of this ovarian disorder.
