A farmer has a cow that has experienced chronic ketosis over the period of 2 months. The herd veterinarian diagnoses fatty liver syndrome, a condition where over conditioned cattle deposit excess lipid in their liver parenchyma resulting in a metabolic disorder which effects the body's utilization of blood sugar.

Why is this addition contraindicated in this scenario?
A) Because cattle don't respond to insulin
B) Insulin receptors won't react to the insulin

D) There is no problem with this protocol
