The frequently observed clinical conditions in transition cows were retention of placenta (10.39 percent), mastitis and dystocia (6.49 percent) and in sub-clinical conditions, hypocalcemia (30.51 percent) was predominant. The mean serum calcium values (mg/dL) significantly reduced in cows with clinical/sub-clinical diseases during transition period.
