Prevalence of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) among dairy cattle in 'Ladang Angkat' Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universiti Putra Malaysia
Dairy industry plays an important role in our nations‟ agriculture sector. The government has targeted to increase the level of local milk production to 120 million litres and self-sufficiency at 8% by year 2020. Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) is one of the major diseases in ruminants...
