Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present study aimed at diagnosis of pneumonia in Black Bengal goat by clinical symptoms and the association of different animal and management factors with the occurrence of pneumonia in goat. The study was carried out on a total number of 40 Black Bengal goats with respiratory disorder that were brought to the Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Boalkhali during June to August 2004. In the study the patients showed high rise of body temperature, serous, mucoid or mucopurulent nasal discharge, cough, moist and crackles rales on auscultation of the lung were diagnosed as pneumonia. It was observed that the age group of 1-2 years, male goat and animal with poor body condition score are in greater risk to pneumonia. On the other hand among management factors free range (night shelter only), muddy floor with poor drainage system, having a feeding pattern of grazing and group or community based grazing pattern were showed susceptible to pneumonia.

Keywords: Black Bengal goat, Pneumonia, Risk factors

Location: Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Boalkhali,

Start Date: 00-06-2004

End Date: 00-08-2004

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Goat

Objectives:

To know the association of different animal factors and management factors on occurrence of pneumonia.

Methodology:

A total number of 40 Black Bengal goats with respiratory disorder were examined which attended at Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Boalkhali, during June to August 2004. The age of the animal was ranging from months to four years. The system of diagnosis was based on history, clinical examination (inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation). The data were analyzed using STATA-7 (Statistical software). Results of strength of association between the pneumonia and their risk factors were expressed as risk ratio. The strength of association was measured using the lowest risk group as baseline.
