Background: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) has emerged as a significant threat to cattle production in Chuadanga Sadar Upazila, Bangladesh. Our study aimed to assess the prevalence, mortality, and demographic distribution of LSD in the study area. Materials and Methods: A total of 634 cattle were observed during the study period. Data were collected using a well-prepared questionnaire through face-to-face interviews conducted in Chuadanga Sadar Upazila, Bangladesh, from August 7, 2022, to October 6, 2022. Results: The prevalence of LSD was 22.24% with variations observed between indigenous (51.77%) and cross-bred cattle (48.23%). The overall LSD mortality was 7%. Cross-breed male cattle showed a higher prevalence of LSD (57.35%) in comparison to cross-breed female-cattle (42.65%). The LSD prevalence was relatively higher in age-group > 6 months than other age groups. The average duration of illness varied among indigenous and cross-bred cattle. Indigenous cattle showed a longer average illness duration (6.79 days) compared to cross-breed cattle (5.5 days). The highest prevalence was observed in cattle aged up to 30 days (4.4%), with indigenous cattle accounting for 43% and cross-bred cattle for 57%. Conclusion: The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the prevalence, mortality, and demographic distribution of LSD in cattle at Chuadanga Sadar Upazila. The results offer a foundation for developing targeted interventions to control and manage LSD, thereby safeguarding cattle production in the region. Specifically, to optimize LSD vaccination strategies, it is recommended to prioritize indigenous cattle and male cross-bred due to their elevated susceptibility. Furthermore, particular emphasis should be placed on cattle aged below one month, with a specific focus on prioritizing treatment for male cross-bred to effectively mitigate the risk of fatalities.

Background: This study aimed to compare different parameters between right and left ovaries, ovaries with corpus luteum, and without corpus luteum, and to determine the most effective oocyte collection technique. Methods: The experiment was conducted at the Department of Animal Nutrition, Genetics, and Breeding at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka- 1207, from January 2019 to December 2019. A total of 431 ovaries were collected from different abattoirs in Dhaka. Oocytes were harvested through different oocyte collection techniques like aspiration, slicing, and puncture. Data on parameters like weight, length, width, total number of visible follicles, number of follicles aspirated, collected grade A, grade B, grade C, and grade D cumulus-oocyte- complexes (COCs) per ovary, total number of COCS were recorded following standard procedures. Results: The length (cm) of the right ovaries (1.31±0.04) was found to be significantly (p<0.05) greater than that of the left ovaries (1.18±0.04). The number of normal COCs (Grade A and Grade B) was significantly (p<0.01) higher in left ovaries (2.14±0.08 and 1.65±0.08) compared to right ovaries (0.36±0.08 and 0.23±0.08), respectively. Additionally, ovaries without a corpus luteum (CL) had a significantly (p<0.01) higher number of normal COCs (Grade A and Grade B) (1.21±0.07 and 0.90±0.07) compared to those with a CL (0.32±0.09 and 0.29±0.09), respectively. The number of normal COCs (Grade A and Grade B) was significantly (p<0.05) higher using aspiration (3.80±0.60 and 3.33±0.42) compared to slicing (3.67±0.78 and 3.20±0.54) and puncture (2.20±0.60 and 1.40±0.42), respectively. Conclusion: The highest yield of normal COCs was obtained through aspiration, followed by slicing and puncture. Left ovaries contained more normal COCs and a higher number of follicles compared to right ovaries. Additionally, ovaries without a corpus luteum had a higher number of follicles and normal COCs than those with a corpus luteum. Therefore, it can be concluded that left ovaries, ovaries without a corpus luteum, and the aspiration technique are optimal for obtaining quality COCs.

Background: The workshop aimed to identify the constraints and way forward to extend the artificial insemination in buffalo, sheep and goat countrywide. Methods: A day long workshop was organized jointly by the Coastal Vet Society Bangladesh (CVS-BD) and Grameen Jano Unnayan Sangstha (GJUS) at Bangladesh Development Society conference hall in Barishal district of Bangladesh. A total of 100 stakeholders in different aspect were joined in this workshop. Results: On the workshop, the constraints were lack of buffalo, sheep and goat breeding policy, recording systems, knowledge about the high-yielding breed, scarcity of quality feed, fodder and pasture land, lack of technical skills in reproduction and production personal, no or limited facilities to breed improvement technologies, lack of breeding infrastructure, non-availability of proven sire, no coordination among farmers, researchers, public and private organization, universities as well as other beneficiaries. The recommendations to overcome those constraints were to build up and strengthening the breeding policies and infrastructure, continuous up-gradation of native breed by high yielding breeds or varieties, adopted with assisted reproductive technologies, frequently advertise the beneficial aspects of buffalo milk and meat, development of manpower by technical training, national and international collaboration should be strengthened, private investment should be encouraged and alternative feed supply is needed to warrant. Conclusion: It is concluded that an initiative through public and private partnership or collaboration is needed to extent the artificial insemination program in buffalo, sheep and goat countrywide.

Background: The first service conception rate (FSCR) is an important parameter for any artificial insemination (AI) programme. The present study was conducted to determine the FSCR and its influencing factors in cows inseminated with frozen semen produced by Rural Development Academy, Bogura. Methods: Data were collected from 372 cows at 39 villages under Sherpur Upazilla of Bogura district on breed, age, body condition score (BCS), parity, milk yield, suckling, AI season and the interval between oestrus to AI using a questionnaire. Results: The overall FSCR of cows was 66.4% and the service per conception was 1.53. The FSCR was higher (74.1%) in local cows compared to the Holstein-Friesian (HF) cross counterpart (64.2%). The FSCR was higher (70.4%) in 24-47 months old cows compared to 84-98 months old counterpart (61.5%). The highest FSCR (81.6%) was observed in cows with 3.0 to 3.5 BCS and the lowest (25.7%) was observed in cows with 2.5 BCS. The highest FSCR (68.3%) was observed in the 0 (zero) parity (heifers) group of cows and the lowest (62.5%) was observed in the 4-7 parity counterpart. The highest FSCR (72.4%) was observed in cows yielded daily >15-22 L milk and the lowest (62.1%) was observed in cows yielded ≤5 L milk. The highest FSCR (72.7%) was observed in suckling restricted cows and the lowest (60.9%) was observed in cows that had several times suckling daily. The highest FSCR (72.1%) was observed in cows received inseminations in Rainy (July-October) season and the lowest (58.4%) was observed in cows received inseminations in Winter (November-February). The highest FSCR (67.1%) was observed in cows received inseminations between 12-18 hrs of detection of oestrus and the lowest (59.1%) was observed in cows received insemination between 8-11 hrs of detection of oestrus. However, the difference in FSCR in cows with different BCS groups was significant (p<0.01). Conclusion: The current FSCR in cows can be considered to be satisfactory. The BCS of cows significantly influences the FSCR in cows.

Background Dairy farming is a major component of livestock in Bangladesh. However, a baseline study on the welfare of dairy cattle in Bangladesh is still new. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was performed to assess the present welfare status of dairy cows at the farm level. Method A total of thirty-six dairy farms of Chattogram having a total of 1110 cross-bred multiparous lactating cows were studied to assess the health and welfare through farm investigation and animal-based measurements using a well-structured questionnaire. Data regarding farm management were collected by observation of the farm and interviewing the farmers. On the other hand, the cows were observed to identify the disorders with a special focus on the hock, claw, and hoof abnormalities. The data were then analyzed using Stata-14 and p<0.05 was taken as significant. Results The study showed that most of the farms used an intensive system (75%) while 47 and 17% of the farms had moderately dirty or dirty floors, respectively. Improper manure disposal led to heavy fly infestation (33%). Lameness and stereotypy behaviors were found in 12% and 14% of animals, respectively. Hock, claw, and hoof abnormalities were found in 30, 37, and 28% of the animals, respectively, whereas injuries were observed in 19% of the cows. About 25% of the injuries occurred in face-out rearing systems; 1.8 times more than the face-in systems. Moreover, cows on farms with bad drainage systems were 2.4 times more likely to have injuries compared with cows reared on farms with good drainage systems. It was also observed that hock and hoof abnormalities were significantly (p<0.05) associated with the quality and conditions of floor, and drainage systems. Conclusions These results suggest that the welfare of dairy cows in the commercial farms in Chattogram of Bangladesh is compromised and needs to be improved for better production and profitability.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of surgical conditions in sheep and analyze their distribution based on age, sex, sheep, and seasonal variation. Methods: Retrospective data on surgical conditions in sheep were compiled from Upazila Livestock Offices and Veterinary Hospitals within Mymensingh division between January 2021 and December 2021. Simple descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Results: A total of 788 surgical cases in sheep were documented. The predominant surgical conditions observed in sheep included wounds (29.18%), myiasis (15.10%), bloat (14.08%), subcutaneous cysts (12.56%), and foot rot (8.24%). In addition, there were instances of abscesses (6.47%), horn fractures (4.56%), atresia ani (3.93%), dermoid cysts (1.64%), dog bites (1.90%), overgrown hooves (1.52%), and gangrenous mastitis (0.63%). Surgical affections were more prevalent in adult sheep (73.35%) compared to young ones (26.64%). Among adult sheep, myiasis, bloat, subcutaneous cysts, and foot rot showed higher prevalences. In females, myiasis, subcutaneous cysts, bloat, and abscesses occurred more frequently than in male sheep. The occurrence of surgical affections was relatively higher in adult sheep during the rainy season, followed by summer, autumn, and winter during the rainy season followed by summer, autumn, and winter. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the variable demographic distribution of surgical affections in sheep. The observed patterns suggest that the surgical disorders pose a substantial threat to sheep rearing in the study areas.

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly isolated bacterial pathogen in clinical and subclinical mastitis among cows. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), in cows with clinical and subclinical mastitis in Cumilla and Chattogram regions. Additionally, antimicrobial resistance patterns were identified. Methods: A total of 429 milk samples were collected from different teats of 125 cows with clinical and subclinical mastitis across 15 farms. Standard bacteriological methods were applied to isolate and identify Staphylococcus aureus. Confirmation of Staphylococcus aureus was achieved through PCR for the presence of the nuc gene. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted for 11 antimicrobials. Isolates showing resistance to cefoxitin and oxacillin underwent mecA gene screening to identify MRSA. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors associated with the presence of Staphylococcus aureus Results: The study revealed that 13.54% (95% CI, 5.00–38.78%) of mastitis-infected cows tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus isolates showed the highest resistance to penicillin, cloxacillin, and streptomycin (61.54%, 53.85%, and 53.85%, respectively), while manifesting the least resistance to ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim (92%, 77%, and 77%, respectively), and gentamycin (69.23%). The prevalence of MRSA was 2.08% (95% CI, 1.55–38.34%). Conclusion: This study represents the first report of MRSA in clinical and subclinical mastitis milk samples in Bangladesh. The findings emphasize the importance of ongoing monitoring of Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA in mastitis cases, considering their prevalence and patterns of antimicrobial resistance.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), in cows with clinical and subclinical mastitis in Cumilla and Chattogram regions. Additionally, antimicrobial resistance patterns were identified. Methods: A total of 429 milk samples were collected from different teats of 125 cows with clinical and subclinical mastitis across 15 farms. Standard bacteriological methods were applied to isolate and identify Staphylococcus aureus. Confirmation of Staphylococcus aureus was achieved through PCR for the presence of the nuc gene. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted for 11 antimicrobials. Isolates showing resistance to cefoxitin and oxacillin underwent mecA gene screening to identify MRSA. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors associated with the presence of Staphylococcus aureus Results: The study revealed that 13.54% (95% CI, 5.00–38.78%) of mastitis-infected cows tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus isolates showed the highest resistance to penicillin, cloxacillin, and streptomycin (61.54%, 53.85%, and 53.85%, respectively), while manifesting the least resistance to ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim (92%, 77%, and 77%, respectively), and gentamycin (69.23%). The prevalence of MRSA was 2.08% (95% CI, 1.55–38.34%). Conclusion: This study represents the first report of MRSA in clinical and subclinical mastitis milk samples in Bangladesh. The findings emphasize the importance of ongoing monitoring of Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA in mastitis cases, considering their prevalence and patterns of antimicrobial resistance.","PeriodicalId":8721,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139230536","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}

Background: Cooking oils are a major part of human diets, but repeated use of heated oils can have detrimental effects on consumer health. This study aims to investigate the impact of different heating grades of vegetable oils on the hemato-biochemical parameters and vital organs like the heart, liver, kidney, and intestine in mice. Methods: Thirty mice were randomly assigned to different treatment groups, including a control group (diet only), unheated cooking oil (UHCO) group, single heated cooking oil (SHCO) group, three times repeatedly heated cooking oil (3RHCO) group, and repeatedly heated cooking oil (ReHCO) group. Blood and organ samples were collected on day 31 to investigate hemato-biochemical parameters and histo-morphological alterations in response to the oil treatments. Results: The oil-treated groups showed significant (P<0.05) decreases in the total erythrocyte, leukocyte, and hemoglobin levels. Meanwhile, serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein, glucose, and creatinine increased significantly (P<0.05), while low-density lipoprotein and protein levels dropped markedly in the treatment groups. Severe histo-morphological alterations were also found in the liver (hepatocytic degeneration with hydropic change in the 3RHCO and ReHCO groups), kidney (glomerular atrophy with increased glomerular space, tubular degeneration, and lymphocytic infiltration in the SHCO, 3RHCO, and ReHCO groups), and colon (lymphocytic infiltration in the mucosal layer of ReHCO group). Conclusions: These findings suggest that the consumption of heated oils can have severe adverse effects on consumers' health, leading to alterations in blood chemistry and damage to vital organs.

Background: Assessing semen characteristics is an important step before semen preservation. This study aimed to collect, evaluate, and preserve indigenous buck semen in the coastal area of Bangladesh. Methods: The study was conducted at the Theriogenology and Animal Reproductive Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, from July 2021 to June 2022. We selected four bucks based on non-return rate, pregnancy rate of does, and various parameters including age, body weight, scrotal circumference, and testicular epididymal length. These selected animals received a regimen of vitamins, minerals, anthelmintics, and concentrated feed. Semen was collected using the artificial vagina method, and data on color, odor, volume, viscosity, mass activity, consistency, concentration, and individual sperm motility were recorded and analyzed after collection. Results: The semen of bucks exhibited a creamy white color and a fishy odor. The mean (±SD) of scrotal circumference (SC) of four bucks was 20.43±0.52, while the testicular epididymal length (TEL) was 11.03±0.59. Buck-2 (B-2) and buck-1 (B-1) showed significantly (p<0.05) higher volumes than buck-3 (B-3), and buck (B-4). B-1 also displayed significantly (p<0.05) higher mass activity compared to B-2, B-3, and B-4. In addition, B-2 and B-1 showed significantly (p<0.05) greater consistency than B-3, and B-4. The highest concentrations were observed in B-2 and B-1 compared to B-3 and B-4. In terms of individual sperm motility, B-1 showed significantly (p<0.05) higher motility (81.0±05.16) than B-2 (71.0±03.94), B-3 (66.0±03.94), and B-4 (80.0±07.45). Regarding chilling duration, a significant reduction in sperm motility was observed during storage at 4°C. This indicated that sperm motility varied significantly (p ≤ 0.000) with varying chilling durations. Conclusions: The study suggests that the individual progressive sperm motility at 4°C gradually decreases but remains suitable for artificial insemination up to 72 h (≥50±7.65). B-1 and B-2 demonstrated relatively promising results in semen evaluation and preservation. Further study is necessary to determine the pregnancy rate of does after insemination with chilled semen.

Background: Anaemia is a frequent complication in cancer patients and has been linked to a reduction in quality of life as well as a poor prognosis. Considering the paucity of dataregarding anaemia in non-haematological carcinoma in developing countries, this studyaimed to evaluate the pattern of anaemia in non-haematological carcinoma patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted over 56 adult anaemic patients of nonhaematological carcinoma inDhaka Medical College Hospital, from 1st of September 2017 to 1stdecember 2017.After getting written informed consent, a detailed history, clinical examination and thorough investigation were carried out in each patient. All the methods in the present study were carried out following the ethical guidelines of the 1975 Declaration of Helsinki.Data were recorded in separated case record form and analyzed by IBM SPSS version 26. Results: The majority of the study participants were male (62.5%), aged >50 years (64.3%), and from rural areas (60.7%). Metastasis affected 50% of the research participants, and colorectal carcinoma (17.9%) was the most common type of non-haematological carcinoma. The majority of patients had moderate to severe (73.2%), hypochromic (62.5%), and microcytic (62.5%) anemia. In contrast to patients without colorectal cancer, those who had it were more likely to get severe anemia (p=0.001). In patients with metastasis, the likelihood of having hemoglobin below 10 g/dL was 11.27 times higher than in patients without metastasis (COR = 11.27; 95% CI 2.23-56.86). Conclusion: Maximum anaemic non-haematogical patients had haemoglobin <10 g/dL with microcytosis and hypochromia. Bangladesh J Medicine 2023; 34(3): 192-198
