Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This study was designed with a view to investigate the prevalence of poultry diseases in Gazipur district of Bangladesh. A total of 679 poultry birds (313 layers, 338 broilers and 28 cockrels) either dead or live were brought for diagnosis of diseases at Gazipur Sadar Upazilla Veterinary Hospital. The diseases were diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical signs and post-mortem findings. The diseases encountered in layers were bacterial diseases 52.29% (salmonellosis 38.56%, colibacillosis 6.7%, fowl cholera 4.79% and necrotic enteritis 1.60%), viral diseases 23.95% (avian influenza 2.56%, Newcastle disease 16.61%, infectious bronchitis 3.19% and avian leucosis 0.64%), mycoplasmal disease (mycoplasmosis 14.70%) and protozoal disease (coccidiosis 5.75%). Salmonellosis was most prevalent disease in age group of >20 weeks, while Newcastle disease most common in 8 to 20 weeks of age group. In case of broiler, bacterial diseases 28.99% (salmonellosis 21.30% and colibacillosis 7.69%), viral diseases 53.24% (infectious bursal disease 28.99%, Newcastle disease 8.87% and infectious bronchitis 15.38%), mycoplasmal disease (mycoplasmosis 7.1%) and protozoal disease (coccidiosis 6.5%). In cockrels, the most prevalent disease was colibacillosis 35.71% followed by salmonellosis 28.57%, Newcastle disease 14.28% and mycoplasmosis14.28%. So among the diseases, salmonellosis is most prevalent disease followed by infectious bursal disease and mycoplasmosis in different kinds of poultry of Gazipur district of Bangladesh.

End Date: 00-12-2012

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Diseases

Objectives:

a) To observe the prevalence of poultry diseases at Gazipur Sadar Upazilla in Bangladesh.

b) To study the post - mortem lesions of poultry.

Methodology:

The study was performed at Gazipur Sadar Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Gazipur, Bangladesh. The study was conducted from October 2012 to December 2012 over a period of 2 months. During the study period, lived and killed diseases birds were received at Upazilla Veterinary Hospital of Gazipur Sadar. The diseases were diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical signs and post - mortem lesions. Only in case of avian influenza suspected birds, isolated and collected tracheal and cloacal swab and then rapid antigenic detection test were performed at district livestock hospital laboratory.At first 7/8 drops of Buffer solution is taken in a test tube → Collection of tracheal swab by cotton bud → Cotton swab is put into test tube and mixed properly → Then test strip into the test tube and observed 3 - 4 minute → If the upper and lower yellow indicator turned to red color, the test was positive and upper indicator was red and indicator was unchanged, it indicated the test was negative.

Achievement/Findings:

From this study, 15 types of diseases were diagnosed. On the basis of findings of this investigation, salmonellosis (28.57%) is the most prevalent disease followed by infectious bursal disease (14.87%) and Newcastle disease (12.56%) in poultry birds. So emphasis should be taken to prevent salmonellosis for development profitable poultry farms. For prevention of infectious bursal disease, Newcastle disease and other diseases proper immunization procedure against these diseases should be undertaken to prevent the mortality of chicks. At present, avian influenza is great threat in our poultry industry. Strict bio - security and continued surveillance of poultry for avian influenza infection is critical to minimize the magnitude of outbreak and limit the risk of human infection.
