Incidence and clinical vital parameters in primary ketosis of
Murrah buffaloes, Veterinary World 8(9): 1083-1087.
Abstract
Aim:
The present study was undertaken to ascertain the incidence
and clinical vital parameters in cases of primary ketosis in
Murrah buffaloes brought to teaching veterinary clinical complex,
Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences,
Hisar and from adjoining villages of the district Hisar, Haryana,
India.
Materials and Methods: The investigation was conducted on 24
clinical cases (out of total 145 screened) of primary ketosis. The
diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of clinical signs and
significantly positive two tests for ketone bodies in urine (Rothera’s
and Keto-Diastix strip test). Data collected were statistically
analyzed using independent Student’s t-test.
Results: Overall incidence of disease in these areas was found
to be 16.55% and all the animals were recently parturited (mean:
1.42±0.14 month), on an average in their third lactation (mean:
2.38±0.30) and exhibited clinical signs such as selective anorexia
(refusal to feed on concentrate diet), drastic reduction in milk
yield (mean: 64.4±5.35%), ketotic odor from urine, breath, and
milk and rapid loss of body condition. All the clinical vital
parameters in ketotic buffaloes (body temperature, heart rate,
respiration rate, and rumen movements) were within normal range.
Conclusion: Primary ketosis in Murrah
buffaloes was the most common seen in the third lactation, within
the first 2 months after parturition with characteristics clinical
signs and no variability in vital parameters. The disease has
severe effect on the production status of affected animal.
Keywords: buffaloes, incidence, Keto-Diastix
strip test, primary ketosis, Rothera’s test.
