High yielding increased levels of serum ketone cattle generally suffer either within a S bodies concentrations which are month after calving or any time during betahydroxybutyrate (BHBA) greater than lactation period. This is because all high 1.4 mmol/l during early lactation without yielding cows in the early lactation remain the presence of clinical signs of ketosis in negative energy balance. Infrequently it (Duffield et al., 2009). It is a most can be observed in dry cows which are in important metabolic disorder and late pregnancy. A significant relation occurring due to negative energy balance between animal age, number of parturition, around calving. This disorder have been mastitis and subclinical ketosis has been associated with decreased milk production, reported by Dohoo et al. (1984). Subclinical impaired reproductive performance, ketosis was more likely to be found in cows displaced abomasums, metritis, mastitis, experiencing metritis than in unaffected and clinical ketosis. cows. INCIDENCE AND RISK FACTORS DIETARY ENERGY IMBALANCE The incidence of ketosis is higher in third The ketone body level in circulation is lactation or following that. The peak influenced by both the energy balance and prevalence of subclinical ketosis occurs plasma glucose. The high-producing dairy during the fourth week of lactation cows are more susceptible due to energy averages 30% in most herds. Subclinical intake may not keep up with demand. ketosis (SCK) incidence is far more Feeding silage with high butyric acid common than clinical disease and content and less dry matter intake are frequently goes unnoticed. There are leading to increases the risk of subclinical indications that cows with the highest milk ketosis. After post calving, the low blood yield directly after calving are at greatest glucose and negative energy balance which 815 | P a g e Indian Farmer 3(12):815-819; December-2016 Gopalakrishnan et al can stimulate the body starts to mobilize elevated cell count and clinical mastitis. the body’s fat stores.
