Anorexia is one of the most common illness among female cattle in Bangladesh. In this study, a total number of 155 diseased cattle, 100 cattle were found having anorexia due to parasitic, infectious, nutritional deficiency and unknown etiology.

The female cattle developed anorexia in higher rate (67%). The early age (less than 1year) of the cattle were found mostly to develop anorexia in cattle, may be due to parasitic and nutritional deficiencies cause.

Objectives:

To study on patho-physiological investigation of anorexia of cattle at Sylhet district.

Methodology:

The data were collected from Upazila Veterinary Hospital; Bishwanath, Sylhet. It has 26,346 households and a total area of 214.5 km². Biswanath borders Jagannathpur, Balagonj and Sylhet Town.

The causes of anorexia were categorized into parasitic, nutritional, infectious and unknown group. respiratory tract was detected through stethoscope. The preputial mucosa and glans penis were examined for the presence of any purulent discharge or ulceration. The viral, bacterial, protozoal, fungal and mixed infections were diagnosed by owner’s complaint & specific clinical signs of the diseases ^[11, ^12]. The symptomatic signs used to presumptive diagnosis were made. The long-term and short-term history of the herd and patient should be considered.
