THE DISEASES AND DISORDERS OF CATTLE AND GOAT AT UPAZILLA LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT CENTER, KAPASIA, GAZIPUR

Abstract:A total 1673 animals were examined where cattle and goat were 1272 and 401 in my study area. In cattle among the bacterial diseases mastitis 37(2.91%), navel ill 15(1.18%), Anthrax 5 (0.39%), Abscess 18(1.42%),Blackquarter 76(5.97%), Heamorrhagic septicemia 7(0.55%) Darmatitid 46(3.62%) were recorded.In goat Pneumonia 7(1.75%), Mastitis 7 (1.75%), Foot rot 3 (1.24%), Abscess 14 (3.49%), Dermatitis 13(3.24%), Colibacillosis 12(2.99%) and Tetanus 1(0.25%); were recorded. In cattle FMD 53 (4.17%), Rabies 3 (0.24%) Papillomatosis 25(1.97%) ,and Ephemeral Fever 25(1.97%) were recorded. Among the viral diseases in goat Rabies 4 (0.38%), Contagious ecthyma 32(5.74%), PPR 46 (19.08%) and Papillomatosis 1(0.25%) were recorded.In cattle, Among the Systemic disorders and other diseases Injury 20(1.57%), Anoestrus 35 (2.75%), Dystokia 7(0.55%), Anorexia 27 (2.12%), Diarrhoea 20(1.75%), Tympany 25(1.97%), Retained placenta 15 (1.18%), Corneal opacity 3(0.23%), Milk fever 29 (2.28%) , and Alopesia 27(2.12%) recorded in cattle. In Goat Injury 7(1.75%), Dystokia 5(1.25%), Diarrhoea 13(3.24%), Urolithiasis 3(0.75%), Retained placenta 2 (0.50%), Corneal opacity 8(1.98%), Abortion 2(0.50%), Uterian prolapsed 1(0.25%) and Alopecia 4(0.99%) were recorded during study period. The duration of my study period is not sufficient to conduct such type of study and the equipments and opportunities in the upazilla hospital are not enough to complete the study accurately. So, further research should be required to determine the accurate prevalence of disease and disorders in cattle and goat. Proper planning and program should be undertaken to prevent and control diseases and disorders of cattle and goat in the study area.

Overview of clinical report

Materials and method

Study areaThe study was conducted at Upazilla Livestock Development Centre, Kapasia, Gazipur.

Duration July 10, 2011 to December 08, 2011

Study population. A total 1673 animals were examined where cattle and goat were 1272 and 401.

Clinical examinationClinical examination of cattle and goats were conducted on the basis of diseases history and owner’s complaint, clinical sign, physical examination of patient(inspection, palpation and percussion).Data analysis

Data was analyzed by normal tabular method.

ConclusionThis study was conducted to detect the present situation of clinical diseases and disorders in the study area. From the study, it was observed that both cattle and goats were most susceptible to parasitic infestation. This may be due to hilly and low land area and marshy grazing field and the farmers are not aware about the anthelmentic treatment of animals. Cattle are more susceptible (54.41%) to parasitic infestation than goat (38.92%). Because cattle are reared mostly on extensive system and allowed to graze on low land area than goats. Parasitic infestation causes heavy economic losses in every year. So, regular anthelmentic treatment should be given to control the parasitic diseases. The viral diseases like FMD (4.17%) and PPR (7.98%) were frequently outbreaks in cattle and goat respectively. This may be due to; these two diseases are contagious, my study period was after the Eid Ul Fitar and Eid Ul Azaha then these two diseases may be spreaded from the cattle market and goat market of Eid. So, restriction of movement and frontier vaccination is necessary to control these types of diseases. Black Quarter was recorded 76(5.97%) in cattle due to heavy rainfall occurred that time. The duration of my study period is not sufficient to conduct such type of study and the equipments and opportunities in the upazilla hospital are not enough to complete the study accurately. So, further research should be required to determine the accurate prevalence of disease and disorders in cattle and goat. Proper planning and program should be undertaken to prevent and control diseases and disorders of cattle and goat in the study area.

PRODUCTION REPORT

Objectives1) To know the managerial procedures of a commercial layer farm.2) To find out the production performance of ISA brown layer strain under farming condition.3) To compare the performance of ISA Brown under farming condition with the standard performance given by the company.

PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF ISA BROWN STRAIN AT BROTHERS POULTRY FARM, KAPASIA, GAZIPUR

Overview of Production Report

ABSTRACTThe study was conducted from the period of March 4, 2012 to April 3, 2012 in Brothers Poultry Farm, Kapasia, Gazipur. The objective of the present study was to observe the management strategies as well as the egg production performance of the famous layer strain “ISA-Brown” in cage system of rearing. The birds came at production in 19th weeks. The average feed intake of the study was 116.68 gm/day; whereas the recommended level of Hendrix Genetics Ltd was 115.85gm/day. The average hen day egg production calculated 77.71% and the recommended level of Hendrix Genetic Company was 89.74%. The peak production was 90% at the early stage of laying in Hendrix Genetic Company. The age respectively 23-50 weeks, but the estimated peak production was 89.48% at the age ranged from 41-50 weeks. So, It is interesting thing to find that the time to gain the peak production in later stage of ISA-brown layer strain in my present study. This is due to various reasons. The first possible reason is the optimum utilization of feed was not satisfactory in the observing farm. The feed storage room was not proper design and not well decorated. The second reason, the farm owner used on farm formulated ration and the available ingredients used for ration formulation are not so good. Although the studied farm does not reached to peak egg production level at recommended time. This may be due to some environmental effect, disease and managerial default.

Study location and duration The study was conducted from the period of March 4, 2012 to April 3, 2012 in Brothers Poultry Farm, Kapasia, Gazipur.Data collection and analysisData were collected by direct observation and from the record book of Brothers poultry Farm, Kapasia, Gazipur. The following data were recorded during the whole period of study.

Collected data were analysed using Microsoft Excel. Simple statistical methods (mean, percentage) were applied.

Materials and method

ConclusionThe present study was conducted to estimate the production performance of ISA-Brown layer strain in Brothers poultry Farm, Kapasia, Gazipur. A total 6000 birds was considered for the study and they were reared in intensive housing of cage management system. The birds were offered manually prepared concentrate mixture feed. The average feed intake per bird was 116.68 g/d. They were not good egg production and of average hen day egg production was 77.71% with an average egg size of 50.38. The result found in the farm shows some deviation from the standard recommended values. Moreover, the level of egg production, egg weight and feed consumption were not similar to the recommended value. Because of unhygienic condition improper lighting, inadequate feed supply, disease occurrence and unskilled management system etc which affected the hen day egg production, average feed intake and for this it was not same as the recommended one .A thorough knowledge about management system, bio-security etc. is very much important for poultry farming. So proper training is required for newcomer farm labor. Strict bio-security & vaccination program must be followed. The duration of my study period was not sufficient to conduct such type of study and the equipments and opportunities in the Layer farm are not enough to complete the study accurately. So, further research should be required to determine the accurate production performance of ISA-brown. Proper planning and program should be undertaken for increasing the production, management system and finally to prevent and control of diseases and disorders of layer bird in the study layer farm.
