“…The present study is in agreement with previous findings of (Bihani, 2001;Sharma, 2006;Sahoo et al, 2009;Thirunavukkarasu et al, 2010) who reported an overall prevalence of 12.50, 9.90, 10.20, 16.80 and 9.38 per cent, respectively. However, Yameogo et al, (2008) recorded low incidence rate of 4.40 and 6.43 per cent, and (Duffield, 2000;Pourjafar and Heidari, 2003) recorded higher incidence 30.33, 34 and 38 per cent, respectively in ketotic cows. The incidence can vary depending upon the breed, management practices and feeding regimens opted.…”
