Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present study aimed to determine clinical prevalence of diseases and disorders in cattle and goat at the Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Beanibazar, Sylhet district of Bangladesh from August 2016 to July 2017. A total of 988 clinical cases (683 cattle and 305 goats) were recorded and analyzed. Each clinical case was diagnosed on the basis of general examination, clinical examination, microscopic examination and using common laboratory techniques. The clinical cases were categorized into three categories based on the treatment required (Medical,Gynaeco-obstetrical and Surgical). Among the clinical cases, highest percentage was found for medical(cattle 86.82% and goats 95.41%)followed by surgical (cattle 7.47% and goats 4.26%) and gynaeco-obstetrical (cattle 5.71% and goats 0.33%). Within the medical cases, gastrointestinal nematodias is (cattle 15.96% and goats 14.75%) and digestive disorder or diarrhea (cattle 13.62% and goats 12.79%) were recorded as main diseases in cattle and goats. On the other hand, gynaeco-obstetrical and surgical cases were found as significant (<3% in each occurrence). The current investigation could be helpful in designing control measures for the prevalent diseases.

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Cattle, Goat

Objectives:

The objective was to determine the clinical prevalence of diseases and disorders in cattle and goats at the Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Beanibazar, Sylhet, Bangladesh

Methodology:

This study was performed at the Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Beanibazar, Sylhet during the one-year study period from August 2016 to July 2017. The necessary information and data were collected from registered record book of the veterinary hospital where all diseased cattle and goats were brought for treatment.After visual examination of the patient different parts and system of the body of each of the sick animals were examined by palpation, percussion, auscultation, needle puncture and gait and posture of the animals.The general clinical examination was conducted according to the merit of the individual case, on the basis of disease history and owner’s complaint, symptoms and techniques such as microscopic examination and laboratory common techniques that are used (Rosenberger, 1979; Samad et al., 1988). Therefore, the temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate from each of these sick animals were recorded. Clinical examinations of all 988 animals (cattle 683 and 305 goats) were conducted on the basis of diseases history, owner complaint, symptoms, to diagnose the following diseases. These recorded clinical cases were categorized into three groups on the basis of treatment required. These groups were: (1) Medical cases (2) Gynaeco-obstetrical cases, and (3) Surgical cases. Pink eye was included under medical cases instead of surgery of eye diseases because surgical intervention has never been practiced in Bangladesh (Osmani et al., 2000). Obtained data were imported to the Microsoft Office Excell-2007 and transferred to the software STATA/IC-11 for analysis.

Achievement/Findings:

The present study gives the scenario of diseases and disorders in the particular study area. Parasitic infestation is the most prevalent disease state in the region. Along with this, digestive disorder and fever with unknown etiology were also found dominant. Regular anthelmintic therapy is therefore necessary to achieve control of parasitic infestations to avoid economic hazards. Moreover, hygienic management and feeding practices can develop the health status of animals from digestive disorders. The obtained knowledge from this study would help for the future identification and characterization of several etiological agents of various diseases as well.
