Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted at Upazila Veterinary Hospital, Kushtia Sadar, Kushtia in the year 2008. A total number of 280 diseased goats were examined of which 35 (12.50%) Peste Des Petits Ruminants (PPR) cases were diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs, gross and pathological lesion. Dullness and depression, rough hair coat, dyspnoea, diarrhea, swelling and erosion of lip, and occulonasal discharge were the common findings during clinical examination of PPR patients. About 7-12 months age group of goats was found more prone (20.87%) to PPR than others. Black Bengal goat was more susceptible (13.47%) than Jamunapari (8.00%). Non-vaccinated goats were more prone (14.91%) to PPR infection than vaccinated goats (1.92%). Lymphocytes percentages were started to decline (40%) and neutrophils percentages were started to increase (58%) from day 3 of clinical manifestation of PPR, which has got reached 28% of lymphocytes and 66% of neutrophils on day 6 of PPR. The percentage of response to treatment with parenteral (I/M) sulphadimidin was higher (56.52%) than parenteral oxytetracycline (41.66%) along with symptomatic treatment.

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Goat

Objectives:

To study the epidemiology of PPR in goats in the study area and determine the efficacy of symptomatic treatment in PPR-infected goats.

Methodology:

The study was conducted at Upazila veterinary hospital, Kushtia Sador, in the year, 2008. Information about the disease and clinical signs exhibited by the animal during illness were recorded in details provided by the owner. Hematological examination Five blood samples were collected randomly from days 3, 3, 4, 5, and 8 days of infection. Differential leukocytes count (DLC) was performed by smearing blood film with Wright’s stain and counting under a light microscope at Paribarick Sastho Clinic, Kumarkhali, Kushtia. The percentage of lymphocyte and neutrophil were recorded. The diagnosis was made by means of history, clinical signs, physical examination, and sometimes hematological findings and postmortem examination. Gross photographs of the sick goats showing different types of clinical signs were taken. Treatment Symptomatic treatment given to all the PPR patients were divided into 2 groups and the respond to the treatment was recorded. Group -1 was treated with Diadin (Sulphadimidine-Na) @ 0.5ml (166.5mg)/kg body weight I/M at first day followed by half of the initial day for the next 4 days, Dellergen (Promethazin HCL) @ 0.2 ml (5mg)/kg body weight I/M daily for 3 days and Renalyte (Oral Rehydrated Solution) @ 0.5 liters (0.625gm)/adult goat orally at every 6hours interval for 5 days. Group -2 was treated with Renamycin-100 (Oxytetracycline) @ 0.1 ml (1omg)/kg body weight I/M daily for 5 days, 2 Dellergen (Promethazine Hcl) @ 0.1 ml(5 ml)/kg body weight I/M daily for 3 day and 3 Renalyte (Oral Rehydrated Solution) @ 0.5 liter(0.625gm)/adult goat orally at every 6 hours interval for 5 day. Statistical analysis A significant Chi-square (χ2) test was used to observe the significant influence of age, sex, breed, and immune status of goats on the prevalence of PPR in goats. The χ2 test was performed with the statistical software “EpiInfo”.

Achievement/Findings:

From the study, it is observed that Black Bengal goats were more susceptible to PPR than Jamunapari goats. About 7-12 months were more prone to PPR than adults. Vaccination of goats markedly reduces the chance of infection. The chances of other bacterial infections raises especially pneumonia and gastroenteritis with the duration of disease increases, it may be due to the immunosuppressive nature of the PPR disease. The disease potentially responds to sulphadimidine and oxytetracycline. The study suggests taking preventive measures in terms of vaccination and supportive therapy with sulphonamide/oxytetracycline in order to effectively control this disease.
