Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted at Upazila Livestock Office from 1st January to 31th March, 2010 to observe the prevalence of PPR in goat at Mirzaganj upazila in Patuakhali District. A total of 183 goats were examined based on the clinical signs and gross pathological lesions of which 92 were PPR affected makes up 50.27%. After categorizing the animals according to their breed, age and vaccination history it was revealed that Black Bengal goats were more susceptible (54.93 %) than Jamunapari (31.38 %). The prevalence of PPR was maximum 63.33% at age category of 7-12 months, in compare with 44.68%, 41.87%, 45.45% at age category of ≤ 6 months, 13-18 months and ≥ 19 months respectively. Non-vaccinated goats were more susceptible (66.40%) to PPR infect ion than vaccinated goats (19.56%). Parental (I/M) Oxytetracycl ine was more effect ive (64%) than parental (I/M) Sulphadimidine (44%) along wi th symptomat ic treatment . PPR causes higher mortali ty and heavy economic losses in every year which may be reduced substant ially by proper vaccinat ion and other managemental approaches.

Location: Mirzaganj upazila in Patuakhali District

End Date: 31-03-2010

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Goat

Objectives:

1. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of PPR disease and the response of animals to the antibiotic treatment in the study area.

Methodology:

To determine prevalence of PPR in goat diseased animals was brought to the hospital for treatment were examined. Information on all types of diseases including breed, age, vaccination history, owners complain, body condition of the patients and given treatment were recorded for the study. Population and tools used for data collection - The study was conducted on natural PPR infected goats of various age, sex and breed that were brought to the hospital over the study period. A total of 183 cases of goats were recorded of those PPR were detected in 92 cases. Anamnesis History of the cases was taken from the owner and carefully recorded in each case individually. Clinical examination - The flowing clinical examinations were done carefully and the findings were recorded. Close inspection - Close inspection were performed properly in order to observe the presenting signs such as a sharp rise of temperature of 104°F–106°F, occulonasal discharge, diarrhea and respiratory distress. Temperature recorded Per rectal temperature was recorded with the thermometer in every case. Indirect auscultation - Respiratory distress was identified with the help of stethoscope and the lung and tracheal sound were observed and recorded. The prevalenance of PPR in relation to different age categories is presented. The prevalence of PPR was maximum 63.33% at age category 7-12 months, in compare with 44.68%, 41.87%, 45.45% at Clinical signs of PPR - Sudden high fever (104°F–106°F), oculo-nasal discharge, difficult breathing, non haemorrhagic diarrhea, rough hair coat, characteristic foul smell from mouth, Anorexia, depression, severe dehydration and emaciation followed by hypothermia. Lining of mouth become pale and sometimes membrane become obscure due to cheesy material. Follow up treatment - For observing the treatment efficacy the goats were divided into two groups. Combined therapy Diadin ( Sulphadimidine-Na) + Dellergen (Promethazine Hcl) + Renalyte(ORS) and Renamycin-100 (Oxytetracycline) + Dellergen (Promethazine Hcl)+ Renalyte(ORS) was given in separete groups.

Achievement/Findings:

It is observed that Black Bengal goats were more susceptible to PPR than Jamunapari goats. Between 7-12 months of age was more risky for the infection and the infection of goats can be reduced markedly by proper vaccination program. It was observed that, Oxytetracycline (I/M) was more effective than Sulphadimidine (I/M) to reduce the mortality. PPR causes heavy economic losses in every year especially in rainy seasons and also decreases the productive performances of goat. So, Proper surveillance and regular vaccination program should be taken to eradicate the disease.
