Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An investigation was undertaken to determine the general clinical prevalence of diseases and disorders in cattle and goats at the Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Mohammadpur, Magura during the period from January to December 2010. A total of 536 clinical cases (327 cattle and 209 goats) were recorded and analyzed. Diagnosis of each of the clinical cases was made on general examination, physical examination, clinical examination, microscopic examination and using common laboratory techniques. The clinical cases were divided into three groups on the basis of treatment required viz. (1) Medicinal, (2) Gynaeco-obstetrical and (3) Surgical cases. Among the three types of ruminant cases, medicinal cases constituted highest percentage (cattle 86.5% and goats 90.4%) in comparison to gynaeco-obstetrical (cattle 6.1% and goats 0.9%) and surgical (cattle 7.3% and goats 8.6%) cases. Among the medicinal cases, gastrointestinal nematodiasis (cattle 37.8% and goats 19.6%), diarrhoea (cattle 13.4% and goats 19.6%), fascioliasis (cattle 12.4% and goats 1.6%), paramphistomiasis (cattle 8.8% and goats 2.6%), fever (cattle 7.8% and goats 12.7%) were recorded major disease problems in cattle and goats. Among the gynaeco-obstetrical cases, retained placenta (cattle 30% and goats 50%) and repeat breeding (cattle 70% and goats 50%) were recorded as major gynaeco-obstetrical problems in cattle and goats. Abscess (cattle 45.8% and goats 5.6%), myiasis (cattle 20.8% and goats 20.8%), navel ill (cattle 12.5), urolithiasis (cattle 20.8% and goats 44.4%) and overgrown hoof (goats 33.3%) and gid disease (goats 5.6%) were recognized as the main disorders which required surgical interventions. It may conclude that a number of diseases have been occurring in the Mohammadpur upazila and this report may help to develop control strategies against major diseases reported in this study.

Objectives:

To determine the clinical prevalence of diseases and disorders in cattle and goats at the Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Mohammadpur, Magura.

Methodology:

This clinical study was undertaken at the Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Mohammadpur, Magura to determine the general clinical prevalence of clinical diseases and disorders in cattle and goats during the one year study period from January to December, 2010. General examination Physical condition, behavior, posture, gait, superficial skin wound, prolapse of the uterus and vagina, salivation, nasal discharge, distension of the abdomen, locomotive disturbance etc were observed by visual examination of the patient. Physical examination Examination of different parts and system of the body of each of the sick animals were examined by using procedure of palpation, percussion, auscultation, needle puncture and walking of the animals. Clinical examination The temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate from each of these sick animals were recorded. Clinical examinations of all 536 clinically sick ruminants (cattle = 327, goat = 209) of different ages were conducted on the basis of diseases history, owner complaint, symptoms, to diagnose the following diseases and disorders. History of each case (present and past) was carefully taken which gave a guideline for examination of the animals. According the merit of the individual case, general clinical examination were conducted on the basis of disease history and owners complaint, symptoms and techniques such as microscopic examination, common laboratory techniques used by Rosenberger (1979) and Samad et al. (1988). These recorded clinical cases were primarily categorized into three major groups on the basis of treatment required. These groups were: (1) Medicinal cases, (2) Gynaeco-obstetrical cases and (3) Surgical cases. These three groups that were considered sufficiently distinct so as to make clinical diagnosis accurate. However, the eye diseases which also include corneal opacity were included under medicinal cases because surgical intervention has never been practiced in Bangladesh (Osmani et al., 2000). Data were organized in the Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet and percentages of disease conditions prevalent in different diseases were calculated.

Achievement/Findings:

Among the three types of ruminant cases, medicinal cases constituted highest percentage (cattle 86.5% and goats 90.4%) in comparison to gynaeco-obstetrical (cattle 6.1% and goats 0.9%) and surgical (cattle 7.3% and goats 8.6%) cases. Among the medicinal cases, gastrointestinal nematodiasis (cattle 37.8% and goats 19.6%), diarrhoea (cattle 13.4% and goats 19.6%), fascioliasis (cattle 12.4% and goats 1.6%), paramphistomiasis (cattle 8.8% and goats 2.6%), fever (cattle 7.8% and goats 12.7%) were recorded major disease problems in cattle and goats. Among the gynaeco-obstetrical cases, retained placenta (cattle 30% and goats 50%) and repeat breeding (cattle 70% and goats 50%) were recorded as major gynaeco-obstetrical problems in cattle and goats. Abscess (cattle 45.8% and goats 5.6%), myiasis (cattle 20.8% and goats 20.8%), navel ill (cattle 12.5), urolithiasis (cattle 20.8% and goats 44.4%) and overgrown hoof (goats 33.3%) and gid disease (goats 5.6%) were recognized as the main disorders which required surgical interventions. It may conclude that a number of diseases have been occurring in the Mohammadpur upazila and this report may help to develop control strategies against major diseases reported in this study.
