Prevalence study is a significant epidemiological tool to assess burden of disease in a population. Lameness in cattle is economically significant disease associated with production, reproduction and animal welfare. In the present study, year wise prevalence varied from 4.10 to 31.84% in crossbred cattle, while 3.49 to 23.26% in Tharparkar cattle. Average prevalence of lameness in crossbred and Tharparkar was 13.67 and 11.05%, respectively. Occurrence of lameness in crossbred cattle was maximum in rainy season followed by winter and summer seasons.
