Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present investigation was undertaken to determine the clinical trend of reproductive diseases and disorders of cows at Saturia Government Veterinary Hospital, Manikgonj. More than 4 years (January 2007 to April 2011) data were collected from the patient register. The recording of animal description and owner’s complaint, and diagnosis of diseases or disorders of cattle were performed by the Government Veterinary Surgeon. A total of 10652 cases were collected and examined of which 61.0% (n=6496) were cattle. The lowest occurrence of diseases or disorders was in cattle at less than 1 year of age (10.44%; n=678) and the highest occurrence was in cows at 5-8 years of age (43.39%; n=2814). The occurrence of diseases or disorders that needed treatment by medicine expert was the highest (86.98%) and the occurrence of diseases or disorders that needed treatment by reproduction expert was the lowest (5.51%). Eight major reproduction related diseases and disorders were diagnosed among 5.51%, n=358 registered sick cows. The highest proportion of cows was diagnosed as anoestrus (22.35%; n=80) followed by retained placenta (20.39%; n=73), repeat breeding (19.27%; n=69), dystocia (13.69%; n=49), utero-vaginal prolapse (13.40%; n=48), pyometra (8.66%; n=31), abortion (1.95%; n=7) and ovarian cysts (0.28%; n=1). Eight major diseases and disorders were diagnosed among 7.50%, n=488 cattle registered with surgery related complaints. The highest proportion of cattle was affected with myiasis (23.98%; n=117) followed by hump sore (22.54%; n=110), lameness (19.08%; n=93), atresia ani (13.32%; n=65), umbilical hernia (10.45%; n=51), upward patellar fixation (5.33%; n=26), abscess (3.39%; n=19) and horn fracture (1.43%; n=7). In conclusion, the highest occurrence of anoestrus and retained placenta is very alarming which needs further research to decrease the occurrence of such disorders of cows in population.

Objectives:

To determine the clinical trend of reproductive diseases and disorders of cattle at Saturia Government Veterinary Hospital, Manikgonj.

Methodology:

The study was carried out at the Saturia Veterinary Hospital, Manikgonj during the period from February to May 2011 for data collection.All sick animals brought for treatment to the hospital were first registered in the patient registered book. The description of each registered animal and owner’s complaint were recorded. Data collection More than four years (January 2007 to April 2011) data on treated animals were collected from the patient register of Saturia Veterinary Hospital. The register was maintained by the Government Veterinary Surgeons. All animals brought to the Hospital for having treatment were recorded with respect to date of treatment, owner’s name and address, species of animals, age of animals, owner’s complaint, tentative diagnosis and treatment. Determination of age of animals The age of each animal was determined by examination of teeth eruption and interviewing the owners of the animals by the working Government Veterinary Surgeon. Method of diagnosis of diseases or disorders The tentative diagnosis of diseases or disorders were performed on the basis of history, clinical signs and clinical examination of animals by the working Government Veterinary Surgeon. Study approaches The number of cattle treated during the period from January 2007 to April 2011 was recorded from the patient register. To determine the age related variation in occurrence of diseases or disorders of cattle, the age of treated animals was divided into 5 groups on the basis of patient register. The age groups were below 1 year, 1 to less than 2 years, 2 to less than 3 years, 3 years to less than 5 years, and 5 to 8 years. The diseases or disorders of cattle were also divided into 3 categories on the basis of required treatment or interventions such as medicine related, surgery related and reproduction related. Further, reproduction related and surgery related diseases or disorders were grouped into specific diseases or disorders on the basis of patient register. Data analysis The data were entered in the MS Excel data sheet and descriptive statistics were performed. The data were presented as percentage of occurrence of disease or disorders.

Achievement/Findings:

The lowest occurrence of diseases or disorders was in cattle at less than 1 year of age (10.44%; n=678) and the highest occurrence was in cows at 5-8 years of age (43.39%; n=2814). The occurrence of diseases or disorders that needed treatment by medicine expert was the highest (86.98%) and the occurrence of diseases or disorders that needed treatment by reproduction expert was the lowest (5.51%). Eight major reproduction related diseases and disorders were diagnosed among 5.51%, n=358 registered sick cows. The highest proportion of cows was diagnosed as anoestrus (22.35%; n=80) followed by retained placenta (20.39%; n=73), repeat breeding (19.27%; n=69), dystocia (13.69%; n=49), utero-vaginal prolapse (13.40%; n=48), pyometra (8.66%; n=31), abortion (1.95%; n=7) and ovarian cysts (0.28%; n=1). Eight major diseases and disorders were diagnosed among 7.50%, n=488 cattle registered with surgery related complaints. The highest proportion of cattle was affected with myiasis (23.98%; n=117) followed by hump sore (22.54%; n=110), lameness (19.08%; n=93), atresia ani (13.32%; n=65), umbilical hernia (10.45%; n=51), upward patellar fixation (5.33%; n=26), abscess (3.39%; n=19) and horn fracture (1.43%; n=7). In conclusion, the highest occurrence of anoestrus and retained placenta is very alarming which needs further research to decrease the occurrence of such disorders of cows in population.
