Abstract

The study was conducted on 128 cattle reported with ocular affections during a period of two years to determine the incidence and distribution of pattern. The incidence was 3.02 percent with crossbred mostly affected. Most of the animals were of age less than 5 years and female animals were found to be more prone to affections. Cornea and conjunctiva were noted as the most affected anatomical locations and corneal ulceration (15.6%) followed by conjunctivitis (11.7%) were the frequently diagnosed clinical conditions.
