Abstract excerpt
The frequency of ketosis among the Black-pied cattle in western Siberia have been determined. The genotype of sires and genetic composition of lines were shown to affect resistance and susceptibility to ketosis. The heritability of resistance to the disease was 0.186. Variation in biochemical parameters and natural resistance in cows with ketosis and in healthy cows was studied.
