Abstract :

Present study was carried out to investigate the role of herbal gel in effective control of ketosis. A total of 24 cows were selected for the study, 16 of them diagnosed with ketosis and 8 healthy cows. Group T0 (n=8) was kept as negative control consisting of healthy cows. Group T1 (n=8) was treated with AV/KPC/10 (M/S Ayurvet limited) at the rate of 1 tube/day/animal for 3–5 days. Group T2 (n=8) was treated with CoFeCu at the rate of 2 tablets once daily for 3–5 days. Results revealed that serum ketone bodies were significantly reduced in the AV/KPC/10 treated group T1 as compared to group T2. The serum glucose, calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels were also significantly higher in group T1 when compared to group T2. The serum triglyceride level was also significantly reduced in group T1. Milk yield was significantly increased in the herbal gel treated group T1. Negative Rothera’s Test and Diastrix strip tests also indicated significant improvement in ketosis in group T1.
