Abstract:
Limited information is available regarding the prevalence of SCK in sheep in our country and in particular Karnataka state is very sparce. Blood BHBA is considered as a diagnostic tool for subclinical ketosis. A total of 228 clinically healthy pregnant ewes were randomly selected from sheep flock in and around Kampli, Ballari District. The optimal cut-off point was set based on previous studies of various researcher. Sheep with BHBA concentrations between 0.8-1.6mmol/L were classified as having SCK.
Limited information is available regarding the prevalence of SCK in sheep in our country and in particular Karnataka state is very sparce. Blood BHBA is considered as a diagnostic tool for subclinical ketosis. A total of 228 clinically healthy pregnant ewes were randomly selected from sheep flock in and around Kampli, Ballari District. The optimal cut-off point was set based on previous studies of various researcher. Sheep with BHBA concentrations between 0.8-1.6mmol/L were classified as having SCK.
Among Sheep breeds, Ballari, Kenguri, Deccani and Non-descript breeds showed prevalence of 13.63, 12.79, 10.34 and 14.89 % respectively. Overall, 13.16% of tested sheep were considered subclinically ketotic in at least one sample period. The results suggest that, BHBA concentration in between 0.8-1.6 mmol/L in the pregnant ewes can be used for diagnosis of subclinical ketosis and making management decisions for prevention and treatment.
