ABSTRACT :
In the present study, an investigation was carried out to know the incidence of subclinical ketosis in buffaloes for which from two organised dairy farms and unorganized local herds in and around Tirupati, a total of 304 urine samples were subjected to Ross test besides obtaining a detailed anamnesis.
The study revealed an overall incidence of subclinical ketosis to be 10.85%. However the incidence in organised herds and unorganized local herds was found to be 5.30 per cent and 15.12 percent respectively showing only an insignificant difference (P > 0.05).
The highest incidence of subclinical ketosis was recorded in the age group of 6-9 years (19.10%) followed by 3-6 (10.78 percent), 9 and above
(5.26%) and 0-3 (2.7per cent) years but not differing statistically (P0.05), although Murrah breed showed higher incidence (12.03%) compared to non-descriptive breed (7.95%).
Subclinical ketosis was highest in animals yielding 10kgs and above (12.5%) followed by 5-10 (10.76%) and 0-5 kg (7.5%) but only with an insignificant difference. Maximum number of subclinical ketotic buffaloes were recorded in first month of lactation (16.67%) followed by 2nd (12.79%), 4th and above 4 months (9.16%) and third month (7.84%) without exhibiting any statistically significant (P< 0.05) difference. The highest incidence of subclinical ketosis in respect to lactation number was recorded in 4th lactation (16.21 per cent) followed by third (13.33 per cent), sixth lactation and above (12.5 per cent), fifth (9.75 per cent), 2nd (6.7 per cent) and first lactation (6.1 per cent), but differing only insignificantly.
All the urine samples subjected to the test using keto-diastix strips and all the milk samples subjected to Ross test gave negative reaction.
Three groups, each consisting of eight animals were subjected to clinico-biochemical and therapeutic studies. Clinical examination of these animals did not reveal any abnormality except for a slight decrease (ranging from 0.5 to 1.5kg) in the milk yield. Therapy was carried out with a combination of glucose (20% 500ml ; i/v, 2 days) and 10 mg of intramuscular triamcinolone acetonide (group II) and fructose (group III) while eight animals served as untreated control (group I). Following therapy, complete restoration of milk yield was attained in both the groups by day 6, but the increase in milk yield was insignificant by day 2 in group II while it was significant (P
