Changing extents of blood parameters according to ketosis classification. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation values. Error bars represent the standard deviation. Note: Onset signifies the day on which the β-hydroxybutyrate concentration is the highest (in the NK group) or the day of ketosis onset (in the SCK and CK groups). Abbreviations: NK, non-ketosis group; SCK, subclinical ketosis group; CK, clinical ketosis group. **p < 0.01; #p < 0.017; ##p < 0.003; ###p < 0.0003
