Abstract

A total of 350 post parturient cows having history of anorexia and drop in milk yield were screened for clinical and sub-clinical ketosis using modified Rothera's test and urine Diastix. Based upon test results, 40 cows were diagnosed as ketotic. The overall prevalence of ketosis amongst post-parturient cows was found to be 11.42 percent.
