DISEASES AND DISORDERS OF CATTLE AND GOAT AND COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DRUGS IN PPR AFFECTED GOATS

Abstract

The study was conducted to investigate the diseases and disorders of cattle and goat with relation to seasonal variation and sex at Bagherpara upazila in Jessore district of Bangladesh. A total of 2650 (2200 cattle and 450 goat) clinical cases were registered for the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic purposes during the period of January, 2017 to December, 2017. Disease diagnosis was made on the basis of owner‘s statement, general examination and clinical signs. Diagnosed diseases were categorized as bacterial diseases, viral diseases, parasitic diseases, metabolic and Nutritional diseases, Gynecoobstetrical cases and Digestive diseases. According to the study the highest (28.64%) prevalence were recorded by parasitic diseases followed by bacterial and viral diseases (27.06%), Digestive disease (19.66%), Gyneco-obstetrical cases (16.27%) and Metabolic and nutritional disease (8.61%) in cattle. Whereas in goat the highest (32.22%) prevalence were recorded by bacterial and viral diseases followed by parasitic diseases (26.67%), Digestive diseases (17.33%), Gyneco-obstetrical cases (12.22%) and Metabolic and Nutritional diseases (11.55%). On the basis of season digestive diseases (26.92%) was significantly (P<0.01) higher in summer, parasitic diseases (31.66%) in rainy season and bacterial and viral diseases (34.06%) in winter season. In goat, digestive diseases (23.46%) was significantly (P<0.01) higher in summer season but bacterial and viral diseases was higher both in rainy and winter season. Parasitic diseases (36.49%) were highly significant (P<0.01) in male than in female cattle and Bacterial and viral diseases were higher (38.30%) in male than in female goat. In treatment trial Gentasone Plus was more effective against PPR due to synergistic reaction of antibiotics that exert more effective action against the secondary bacterial infection.
