Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The prevalence of surgical diseases of 2081 cattle was studied from different free-ranging (Bathan) and stall-feeding systems. The overall prevalence of surgical disease of cattle was higher (53.2%) in Bathan than in the stall-feeding (37.5%) system. In Bathan, the most prevalent surgical diseases were myiasis (13.4%) followed by navel ill (12.5%), trauma (10.8%), claw diseases (7.6%), arthritis (6.1%), horn diseases (3.4%) and teat obstruction (2.6%). In stall-feeding system, the highest prevalence (10.6%) was claw diseases and navel ill (6.6%). Navel ill, hernia, arthritis, horn diseases, urolithiasis and tail gangrene were more prevalent in male; and claw diseases, trauma, myiasis, upward patellar fixation and dislocation of hip joint were more prevalent in female cattle. Most diseases were more prevalent in summer but claw diseases, urolithiasis and teat crack were more prevalent in winter. Clean environment is needed to reduce the prevalence of such problems.

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Cattle

Objectives:

To determine the surgical diseases of cattle in stall-fed and free-range cattle in Bangladesh

Methodology:

Survey population: This study was conducted in Milk-Vita area of Pabna-Sirajgonj districts. The data were collected randomly from 1033 cattle in free-ranging (Bathans) and 1048 in stall-feeding systems of different villages of five Upazilas (Sub-district). Survey: History of the problems was taken from the owner and animal attendant (Moshal) about the surgical diseases of the animals. Some of the affected cattle were clinically examined. Sex was considered as one of the variables for analyzing the data. On the basis of climatic conditions, the prevalence of surgical diseases in summer, rainy and winter seasons was done. Statistical analysis: The prevalence of surgical diseases in each area was calculated. The prevalence of surgical diseases in Bathans and stall-feeding systems, in male and female, and in different seasons was compared.
