Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An investigation was undertaken to determine the general clinical prevalence of diseases and disorders in cattle at the Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Chauhali, Sirajganj during the period from January to December 2014. A total of 2646 clinical cases on cattle were recorded and analyzed. Diagnosis of each of the clinical cases was made on the basis of owner history, clinical examination and 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 cases, medicinal cases constituted the highest percentage (79.33%) in comparison to gynaeco-obstetrical (11.60%) and surgical (9.07%) cases. Among the medicinal cases, the highest cases was recorded with parasitic diseases (55.97%), followed by infectious diseases (24.21%) and digestive disorders (10.34%). Other cases were general systemic states (3.91%), musculo-skeletal disorder (1.57%), skin condition (1.57%), metabolic diseases (1%), respiratory disorders (0.76%), sensory organ diseases (0.43%) and dog biting (0.24%). Among the gynaecoobstetrical cases, repeat breeding (42.35%), anestrous (31.60%), orchitis (9.77%), posthitis (5.86%), dystocia (4.89%) and retained placenta (4.23%) were recorded as major gynaecoobstetrical problems in cattle. Navel-ill (45%), myiasis (43.33%), abscess (6.25%) and fracture (3.34%) were recognized as the main disorders which required surgical interventions. Prevalence of diseases was high (39.38%) in summer season (March-June) followed by (34.73%) in winter (November-February) and lowest (25.89%) in rainy season (July-October). It may be concluded that a number of diseases with various percentages have been occurring in the Chauhali 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 at the Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Chauhali, Sirajganj.

Methodology:

This clinical study was undertaken at the Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Chauhali, Sirajganj to determine the clinical prevalence of diseases and disorders in cattle during the one year study period from January to December, 2014. 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. 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. The temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate from each of these sick animals were recorded. Clinical examinations of all 2646 clinically sick cattle 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. These recorded clinical cases were primarily categorizedinto three major groups on the basis of treatment required. These groups were: (1) Medicinal cases (2) Gynaeco-obstetrical cases and (3) Surgical cases. The medicinal cases were categorized into majordiagnostic groups that were considered sufficiently distinct so as to make clinical diagnosis accurate, such as (i) parasitic diseases (ii) infectious diseases (iii) digestive disorders (iv) general systemic states (v) musculoskeletal disorders (vi) skin conditions (vii) metabolic and nutritional deficiency diseases (viii) respiratory disorders (ix) the sensory organ diseases and (x) other diseases. The study period was divided into three seasons on the basis of local climatic conditions viz. Summer (March to June), Rainy (July to October) and Winter (November to February). Data were organized in the Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet and percentages of disease conditions prevalent in different seasons were calculated.

Achievement/Findings:

Occurrence of diseases was recorded during clinical examination of sick cattle at Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Chauhali, Sirajganj, Bangladesh. It was observed from the study that the cattle were most susceptible to parasitic infestation. Parasitic infestation causes heavy economic losses in every year. So, regular anthelmintics treatment should be given to control the parasitic diseases. Proper planning and program should be undertaken to prevent and control diseases and disorders of cattle in the study area.
