Animals were examined for post-mortem defects in different abattoirs of those districts. The study started from February, 2008 to August, 2008. The total examined animals were 3510, among them 1460 cattle, 620 buffaloes, 970 goats and 460 sheep. Age, sex and breed of the examined animals were recorded as far as practicable. The overall prevalence of hydatidosis was highest (26.01%) followed by fascioliasis (20.74%), amphistomiasis (19.62%). The prevalence of above mentioned diseases was higher in older animals. The prevalence of hydatidosis, fascioliasis and amphistomiasis was higher in male in case of cattle and goats. But the prevalence of those diseases was distinctly higher in female animals in case of buffaloes and sheep. The proportional prevalence of different disease conditions in cattle was much higher in Hariana breed than those of local and crossbred cattle.

Mummified foetus is a reproductive disorder which is responsible for farm economic loss by extending the inter calving period as well as foetal loss. The incidence of mummified foetus in cattle is low and sporadic but the incidence may be higher in some herds (Roberts, 1971). In cattle fetal mummification occurs with an incidence of 0.13-1.8% (Barth, 1986). In Bangladesh there is no accurate account about the incidence of mummified foetus in cow but sporadically mummified foetus occurred throughout the country. Talbot & Hafs (1974) treated the mummified foetus in cow with Prostaglandin F2α. However, such foetus might be treated with intramuscular administration of Stilbestrol, Estradiol, Respositol diethylstilbestrol or manual removal of the persistent corpus luteum (Roberts, 1971). Most mummified foetuses will remain in the uterus until treatment is given to expel them or until their removed by caesarean section (Wenkoff & Manns, 1977). The choice of treatment of this problem is injection of prostaglandin F2α and in failure case caesarean section. There is some evidence of failure to expel mummified foetus by the treatment with prostaglandin F2α. To overcome this type of complication the author has had personal interest to deliver the mummified foetus with cesarean section rather than Prostaglandin F2α injection. Arthur et al. (1996) showed that treatment of mummified foetus with Prostaglandin F2α create some complexicity in cattle like maceration of mummified foetus and packed in the birth canal instead of expelled out. It occurs as a consequence of uterine infection, pyometra, chronic endometritis and finally the animal should therefore be sent for slaughter.","PeriodicalId":23467,"journal":{"name":"University Journal of Zoology, Rajshahi University","volume":"1 1","pages":"61-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90693645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
