A total of 386 clinical cases (188 cattle, 154 goats, 4 dogs and 40 poultry) were recorded and analyzed. Diagnosis of each of the clinical cases was made on relevant clinical history, clinical examination, postmortem findings and using common laboratory techniques.

In FMD, female (75%) were most susceptible than male (25%); Local (70.8%) were mostly affected than cross breed (29.8%) and aged (> 3 years) animal are comparatively slightly more susceptible than young (< 3 years). Calf scour (5) and Navel ill (5) were highest prevalent in calf. In goat 154 (39.9% of total animal), 19 different types of disease and disorders were detected where PPR 82 (53.3%) were most prevalent than Parasitic infestation 10 (6.5%), Dog bite 10 (6.5%), Acidosis 6 (3.9%), Gastro-intestinal disorder 6 (3.9%), Nutritional deficiency 7 (4.5%).
