Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), a fatal viral disease of goats causes high mortality and large economic losses, and is considered as one of the major constrains of goat farming worldwide.This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence, alteration of vital signs and effective therapeutics of PPR affected goats in Beraupzilla of Pabna district, Bangladesh during the period of November 2014 to April 2015. A total number of 465 diseased goats were clinically examined of which 253 (54.41%) were found to be affected with PPR. The highest prevalence (72.27%) was found in Black Bengal goats whereas 35.04% and 27.78% prevalence were found in Jamunapari and Cross breed goats respectively. In case of Black Bengal goats 51.78% affected goats were aged between 0-7months. In case of Jamunapari 51% affected goats aged between 8-14 months. Female goats were more susceptible (65%) as compared to males. About 60%Black Bengal goats had a body temperature range of 104-105.9 F. Over half of the study populations were in normal range of respiration rate.65%cross breed’s heart rate was recorded in 91-110/minute range group that was higher in comparison to other breeds.The response to treatment following parenteral (I/M) administration of Sulphadimidine was higher (58%) than parenteral (I/M) OxytetracyclineHCl (50%) and Gentamycin Sulphate (46%) administration. All these findings revealed that, the prevalence of PPR depends on specific breed and age groups and Sulphadimidine is the most effective drug choice in PPR treatment.

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Goat

Objectives:

The objectives of this study were to find out the prevalence of PPR in different breeds and age categories of goats along with the response to specific antibiotic treatment.

Methodology:

Location of the study: The study was conducted at Beraupazila of Pabna District, Bangladesh during the period of November 2014 to April 2015. Tools of diagnosis: Diagnosis of PPR was made by means of history and clinical signs like fever in the initial stage followed by pneumo-enteritis evidenced by matted mucus in the eye and nostrils, conjunctivitis, dyspnoea, diarrhea, anemia, erosion in oral mucosa and finally death. The degree of dehydration was estimated by conventional skin fold test. Population and tools used for data collection: The study population was naturally PPR infected goats of various age, sex and breed that were brought to the hospital over the study period. A number of 465 clinically sick goats were recorded during this study period; of those 253 cases were PPR affected goats (Table 1). Data were collected from farmers in previously formed closed ended (categorical) questionnaire that was designed according to Thrushfield (2005). Anamnesis: History of the cases were taken from the owner and carefully recorded in each case individually. Data were recorded from the owners for the breeds/age/sex of the animals; probable dates of clinical onset of the disease with probable signs. Clinical inspection: Close inspection was done carefully for each case to observe the clinical signs. Dehydration rate was measured by skin fold test and temperature was recorded by using of clinical thermometer. Treatment: Symptomatic treatments were given and all PPR affected goats were divided into 3 groups irrespective of breed and age groups and response to the treatment was recorded. Group A was treated with Gentamycin Sulphate @ 5mg/kg body weight intramuscularly (I/M) daily for 5 days, Promethazin HCl @ 5mg/kg body weight I/M for 3 consecutive days and Oral Rehydrated Solution (ORS) @ 0.625gm/adult goat orally at every 6 hours interval for 5 days. Group B was treated with Sulphadimidine-Na @ 166.5mg/kg body weight intramuscularly (I/M) at first day followed by half of the initial day for next 4 days, Promethazin HCl @ 5mg/kg body weight I/M daily for 3 days and Oral Rehydrated Solution (ORS) @ 0.625gm/adult goat orally at every 6 hours interval for 5 days. Group C was treated with Oxytetracycline @10mg/kg body weight I/M daily for 5 days, Promethazine HCl @ 5 mg/kg body weight I/M daily for 3 days and Oral Rehydrated Solution@ 0.625gm/adult goat orally at every 6 hours interval for 5 days. Efficacy of treatment and prognosis rate were recorded by regular monitoring of affected one.

Achievement/Findings:

From this study, it is observed that Black Bengal goats are more susceptible to PPR than Jamunapari and Cross breed goats. Young goats about 7-12 months of age are more prone to PPR than adult. Female goats are more susceptible than that of male. Treatment responsiveness following intramuscular administration of Sulphadimidine is higher than Oxytetracycline HCl and Gentamycin Sulphate administration.
