Study on Clinical Cases in Sandwip Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Chittagong

Abstract

A significant number of animals of different species were regularly presented to Sandwip Upazilla Veterinary Hospital (UVH) from surrounding villages for treating clinical cases, deworming, vaccination. Therefore this UVH was considered to conduct a descriptive study to assess the occurrence of clinical cases in cattle and goats during the period of 2 months from February to March 2018. A total of 134 cases (109 cattle, 25 goats) were analyzed. Diagnosis of cases were made based on clinical history, clinical signs as well as using common laboratory techniques(in some cases).Distribution of cattle cases were as follows: 36.69% Parasitic infestation,2.75% Foot and Mouth Disease, 9.17% nutritional deficiency,9.17% mastitis,16.60% reproductive disorders,5.5% enteritis, 0.91% BQ,1.83% acidosis,2.75% bloat and 1.83% abscess. Recorded goat cases were 24% dog bite, 20% Parasitic infestation, 8% PPR,4% bloat, 8% enteritis and 4% acidosis. In conclusion % Parasitic infestation was quite high in both animal species. So, a defined de-worming schedule should be followed in the study area. As FMD in cattle and PPR in goat were also high, the strict vaccination schedule along with good standard of farm hygiene and bio-security should be followed. Dog bite was also problem for goats and so proper care should be taken if it is bitten by rabid dogs.
