Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted to know the occurrence of myiasis in cattle and goats at Babuganj Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Barisal, Bangladesh. A total of 160 animals were examined. Among them 46 animals were found to be myiasis infested. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on species, breed, age, sex, body condition of the animal, onset and duration of illness, affected sites of myiasis. The study was conducted during March 2014 to May 2015. All the data that were collected were entered into MS excel. Descriptive analysis was done by column and pie charts. It was possible to follow the response of treatment using two treatment protocols. The overall occurrence of myiasis was 28.75% where 39.13% in cattle and 60.87% in goat. The occurrence was higher in cross breed cattle (55.56%) than the local (44.44%). Similarly the occurrence rate was higher in cross breed goat (42.86%) than local breed (28.57%). Less than 6 months aged animals (71.73%) and females (cattle-61.11% and goat-64.29%) were more prone to myiasis. The frequency of maggot infestation was higher in navel region (54.35%) followed by vaginal (28.26%) and rectal (10.87%) regions respectively. The percentage of recovery to Inj. SP vet, Inj. Asta vet and Inj. Vermic were 67.86%. Myiasis is the major problem in livestock production in our country. Animals at high risk should be managed properly to avoid wound and special attention on wound management should be given after castration and parturition to prevent myiasis.

To observe the occurrence of myiasis in cattle and goat in relation to species, age, sex, site of wound at Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Babugonj, Barisal, Bangladesh.

Methodology:

Study Area and Population: This study was conducted on myiasis in cattle and goat which were brought to Babuganj Upazilla Veterinary Hospital during March 2014 to May 2015. The species of animals examined mostly were local and cross with different exotic breed (e.g. Friesian). A total of 160 animals were examined. Questionnaire design and Data collection: A structured questionnaire was used to collect animal level data like species, breed, age and sex, body condition of the animal, onset and duration of illness, affected sites of myiasis. Different treatment protocol used in the treatment of myiasis in goat: Myiasis infested animals were treated by the drugs of penicillin and streptomycin combination, antihistaminic and ivermectin groups. Data analysis: All data were entered into MS excel (Microsoft office excel-2007, USA). Descriptive statistical analysis was performed by column and pie chart and presented as percentage. Myiasis is very common and widely distributed disease at Babuganj Upazilla. Animals at high risk should be managed properly to avoid wound and special attention on wound management should be given after surgery (castration, amputation of tail, hernia, etc.) and parturition to prevent myiasis.
