BookPublisher: 2011DDC classification: 1369,T Dissertation note: Subclinical ketosis is preclinical stage of ketosis. The peak incidence of subclinical ketosis occurs
during the fourth week of lactation. There are indications that cows with the highest milk yield directly
after calving are at greatest risk for developing ketosis. Subclinical ketosis causes delayed reproductive
functions, increased intervals from calving to first and last service, and an increased frequency of
ovarian cysts. The study was designed to diagnose the Subclinical ketosis on the basis of Ross Rothra's
method. This method was easy to conduct and can be able to perform at the farm. The purple color
indicated the presence of ketone bodies in the sample. After diagnosis the treatment trails was done on
three different treatment methods comprises of Dextrose, Dexamethasone and by increasing the diet.
Total 200 cow were studied for the diagnosis of subclinical Ketosis. Total positive samples of
subclinical ketosis were 62 and the overall Incidence of Subclinical Ketosis in was 31 % and in
sheikhupura and Raiwind areas it was 35% & 27 respectively. The results indicates that the use of
dexamethasone was very effective and it cured 84%,dextrose cured 64% ,and by the diet it was
25%.Although, dexamethasone was very effective but it also reduced the milk production in very next
day after the administration of drug while, the dextrose shows no any reduction in milk production. The
animals who received only green fodder as ration showed very positive results for subclinical ketosis while,
the animals who received a concentrated diet with green fodder they showed very little presence of
subclinical ketosis. Prevention of subclinical ketosis can be done by providing extra ration to pregnant
animals and during pregnancy give them pregnancy allowance and by effective managemental practices the
effects of subclinical ketosis can be minimized.
