    A CASE REPORT ON CORRECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF RUMINAL ACIDOSIS IN CATTLE
    (Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Khulshi-Ctg, 2014-03) Biswas, Shankar
    A comprehensive study was conducted in a cattle that was suffering from acidosis after feeding of large amount of grain and cooked rice. My study on ruminal acidosis in cattle’’ was conducted during internship program at Madras Veterinary College, Chennai, india. Tentative diagnosis of the case was performed from relevant history, clinical signs, clinical examination of color, odor and consistency of rumen fluid and rumen microflora movements. Confirmation diagnosis was performed by measuring the rumen fluid and blood pH. The predisposing factors of ruminal acidosis were from feeding of cooked rice, rice gruel. The mean temperature, rumen motility, rumen fluid pH and serum pH of the affected cattle 101.5℉, 5.6, 5.5 and 7.2 respectively. The most effective treatment of acidosis in cattle was observed from the use of ruminal alkalizer (magnesium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate ,5% sodium bicarbonate, some antibiotics potentiated Sulphonamides and Tetracycline along with fluid therapy. This study suggests that carbohydrate in dairy feed should be cautiously in dairy farm to prevent ruminal acidosis

    A report on Management, Prospects and Problems of Broiler farming system at different unions of Muksudpur Upazilla under Gopalgonj district. The necessary information of the study was carried out when I was staying at Muksudpur Upazilla Veterinary Hospital for internship placement at Gopalgonj district from 05/05/13 to 05/07/13. During this period I visited some farms & collected data on Prospects and problems of Broiler farming at Muksudpur Upazilla by using an interview schedule through face to face interviewing. There are 44 broiler farms in Muksudpur Upzilla. During my study period I visited 44 broiler farms in different unions. Most of the villagers are interested in rearing broiler under farming system. The estimated net benefit per farm having average flock size 1100 during the visiting period was found Tk.25,640.00. But they felt always threaten to rear broiler due to they faced various problems. So the possibility was found high but facility was found very low. If the problems can be removed, people would be more encouraged to establish broiler farms on a large scale in all seasons
