Abstract

In Bangladesh calves are affected by several types of diseases and most of them are parasitic, infectious, metabolic or nutritional, surgical affection etc. causing severe economic losses in every year. The study was conducted to investigate the epidemiological status of calves’ diseases with relation to age and seasonal variation at Jhenaidah district, Bangladesh. A total of 12525 clinical cases were registered in all 6 Upazila of Jhenaidah district for the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic purposes during a period of two years, which were analyzed to evaluate the prevalence of clinical diseases in calves. Each of the clinical case was diagnosed on the basis of history, general examination, physical examination and clinical findings. Among the recorded cases the highest prevalence of clinical cases in calves were found to be round worm infestation ( 14.80%), and followed in descending order by non-specific diarrhoea ( 9.20 %), liver fluke infestation ( 8.34%), anorexia ( 7.95%), lice infestation ( 6.66%), debility (6.42%), wounds (4.68 %), tick infestation (3.93 %), tape worm infestation (3.54%), non-specific fever & navel ill (3.42%), coccidiosis (3.35%), conjunctivitis (3.16%), FMD (2.83%), pneumonia (2.49%), allergy/skin disease (2.30%), coldness (2.06%), tympany/bloat (1.71%), calf-scour (1.61%) etc. Among the general clinical disorder, the highest prevalence of clinical cases was non-specific diarrhoea (9.20%), among parasitic disease the highest prevalence was round worm infestation (14.80%), among infectious disease the highest prevalence was coccidiosis (3.35%), among surgical affection the highest prevalence was wound (4.68%). The influence of age and season on the occurrence of these diseases was considered. Immuno prophylaxis and hygienic management should be introduced to curtail the prevalence of calf diseases and disorders. So more epidemiological and intensive laboratory study should be needed to confirm the etiology, prevention and control measures of the diseases and disorders in cattle at the study area. Res. Agric.

孟加拉国Jhenaidah区的小牛疾病:与年龄和季节有关的流行病学状况

在孟加拉国，小牛受到几种疾病的影响，其中大多数是寄生虫病、传染病、代谢或营养疾病、手术影响等，每年造成严重的经济损失。该研究旨在调查孟加拉国吉纳伊达地区犊牛疾病的流行病学状况与年龄和季节变化的关系。在两年的时间里，为了临床诊断和治疗目的，在Jhenaidah区所有6个区共登记了12525例临床病例，并对这些病例进行了分析，以评估小牛临床疾病的流行情况。每例临床病例均根据病史、全身检查、体格检查和临床表现进行诊断。犊牛临床病例发生率最高的是圆虫病(14.80%)，其次为非特异性腹泻病(9.20%)、肝吸虫病(8.34%)、厌食病(7.95%)、虱子病(6.66%)、虚弱病(6.42%)、伤口病(4.68%)、蜱虫病(3.93%)、带虫病(3.54%)、非特异性发热病;脐病(3.42%)、球虫病(3.35%)、结膜炎(3.16%)、口蹄疫(2.83%)、肺炎(2.49%)、过敏/皮肤病(2.30%)、感冒(2.06%)、鼓室/腹胀(1.71%)、牛瘟(1.61%)等。在一般临床疾病中，非特异性腹泻患病率最高(9.20%)，寄生虫病患病率最高(14.80%)，传染病患病率最高(3.35%)，手术并发症患病率最高(4.68%)。考虑了年龄和季节对这些疾病发生的影响。应实行免疫预防和卫生管理，以减少小牛疾病和失调的流行。因此，需要进行更多的流行病学和深入的实验室研究，以确定研究区牛疾病和失调的病因，并采取预防和控制措施。阿格利司》。力所能及的。鱼。第10卷第2期，2023年8月:189-197
