A study on incidence of different types of wound and their management in cattle and goat under Rangunia upazilla in Chittagong was carried out in Rangunia upazilla during 44 days internship programme from 30.09.09 to 30.11.09. This clinical study was conducted with 456 animals where 18 (both cattle and goat) were affected with different types of wound. The result of the study was presented in the table 1 and 2. From the table 1 it was found that the overall incidence of different types of wound was 4.03% in cattle and 3.82% in goat under Rangunia upazila in Chittagong district.From the table 2 it was found that the incidence of Maggot wound, FMD and Hump-sore were highest i.e 16.66% followed by abscess, punctured and foot rot were 11.11% and the other cases lacerated wound were 5.55%. The data about the age, breed, sex etc were recorded for each of examined cattle. The general clinical examination, inspection and palpation method were used to examine the cattle. Diagnosis of the disease was based on the clinical history collected from the owner and clinical findings and not confirmed by any diagnostic laboratory. Some commercial antibacterial and antiseptic solution were evaluated for the management of clinical cases of different types of wound. The therapeutic evaluation was assessed on the basis of days required for complete healing of wounded skin or areas or other parts of the body. It may concluded from the result that concerned authority should give special attention on vaccination program for controlling FMD and should also provide extension service to the farmers for increasing awareness of the farmers about the epidemiology, control and prevention of different types of wound.
