Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was conducted at Bagmara upazilla under the district of Rajshahi in Bangladesh during the period of 2 month from 20 September 2015 to 14 November 2015 to determine the prevalence of PPR in goat. A total of 72 diseases cases were recorded randomly irrespective of age, sex and breed over the study period. In the present study the overall prevalence of PPR in goat was 27.78%. In black Bengal goat, the prevalence of PPR in different age group i.e. up to 6 month, 7-12 month, 13-19 month, above 19 month were 18.18%, 42.30%, 22.22% and 12.50%, respectively. Over all, female black bengal goat (46.42%) was more infected than male (12.00%). The prevalence of PPR in different age group i.e. 7-12 month, 13-19 month were 42.85% and 25.00%, respectively; and males (16.66%) and female (23.07%) of Jamunapari goat were recorder. In general, black bengal goats have the higher prevalence (30.18%) than Jamunapari goat (21.05%). The nonimmunized goat showed higher prevalence (38.77%) than immunized (4.34%) goat. All data were analyzed by using ?2 tests with P value at (P<0.05) level of significance.

Keywords: Prevalence, PPR, Black bengal goat

Location: Bagmara upazilla Veterinary hospital under the district of Rajshahi in Bangladesh

Start Date: 20-09-2015

End Date: 14-11-2015

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Goat, Diseases

Objectives:

To study the prevalence (%) of PPR of goat at Bagmara upazila of Rajshahi district in Bangladesh.

Methodology:

Study area and duration: The present study was conducted at Bagmara Upazilla Veterinary hospital under the district of Rajshahi in Bangladesh. The study was conducted from 20th September, 2015 to 14th November, 2015.

Sample and sample size: The study was conducted on naturally PPR suspected goat brought to the veterinary hospital during the study period. A total number of 72 diseases cases were recorded during the study period. Samples were selected randomly irrespective of age, sex and breed over the study period. During the study period different aged goats are consider. Both Black Bengal and Jamunapari goat were grouped into 4 different age groups. Such as, up to 6 month, 7-12 month, 13-19 month, above 19 month of age goat were categorized as group I, II, III and group IV, respectively.

Data collection: The data were directly collected from the owner. Data were based on , Client/owners complains, anamnesis of patient (goat), clinical history, physical examination data (Inspection, Temperature, auscultation, respiration) and clinical sign of suspected goats. History of the cases were taken carefully from the owner based the following aspect (Age, Sex, Breed, Vaccination-yes/no, duration of rearing, housing, previous disease history etc).

Recording of signs and symptoms- Close inspection: Different exposed signs and symptoms were recorded carefully by close infectionErosion of oral mucosa, respiratory distress, discharges from eyes, nose, mouth, rough coat, soiled hindquarter. Temperature: Temperatures were recorded by indirect palpation per rectum by the thermometer of every case and tabulate. Indirect auscultation: Indirect auscultation was performed to hear the lung and tracheal sound to coincide with the symptoms of pneumonia. Skin fold test: Skin fold test were performed to take the rough estimation of the degree of dehydration. Diagnosis: Among all diseased cases of goat brought to the veterinary hospitals for treatment, presumptive diagnosis of PPR in goat were made on the basis of owners complains, clinical history, clinical signs.

Data analysis: The raw data were collected from owners complain, clinical history and clinical signs and recorded into a previously formed data record sheet. Positivity and prevalence rate were calculated by using MS excel programme. x2 test and P value were calculated by the help of SSS (online) software. A descriptive analysis was performed to interpret the data.

Achievement/Findings:

The statistical analysis of the results shows that the result was not significant (P<0.05). This result is in agreement with the Shailaet al., (1989) and Samad (2001) reported Black Bengal goats are more susceptible (67.24%) to PPR than Jamunapari breed (32.76%). Higher incidence of PPR in indigenous Black Bengal goats (27.13%) may be due to enhance participation in disease surveillance and immune-suppression and irregular vaccination program (Mondalet al., 1995). The findings of present study showed that, the prevalence of PPR was higher in non-vaccinated 38.77 (%) as compared to vaccinated 4.34 (%) goat irrespective to breeds (Table 5). The statistical analysis revealed that the result was not significant with x² test (5.8934) and P value (0.15197) at (P<0.05) level of significance. This result supports the earlier report where higher prevalence of PPR (68.38%) was found in the unvaccinated goat (Gibbs et al., 1979).
