T he feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a poorly understood disease condition, characterized by dysphagia, ptyalism, pain on manipulation of the mouth, pawing at the mouth, chronic debilitating condition, grooming deficiency, and sometimes bleeding from the mouth (Healey et al., 2007;Bellei et al., 2008). FCGS occurs globally with a prevalence range of 0.7% to 12% (Winer et al., 2016). Clinically FCGS manifested as severe chronic inflammation of caudal, gingival, buccal, and labial, palatoglossal, and/ or other remaining part's mucosa of the oral cavity (Peralta and Carney, 2019). Factors such as innate
Background: Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is one of the most important metabolic disease of dairy cattle which decrease milk production, dry matter intake, productivity and increase culling rate and even cause death.Methods: In this study the epidemiological status of SARA namely age, breed, stage of lactation, lactation number, general health condition, body condition score, daily milk production, milk fat content and biochemical alteration were investigated.Result: Out of 100 cows examined 20 were found to be positive for SARA and the mean age of dairy cows suffering from SARA was found to be 6.53 ±0.68 years. The prevalence of SARA was 70 and 30 per cent in Jersey and HF breed of cows respectively and was high in mid lactation and the lactation number ranged from 2 to 6. 65 per cent. SARA affected cows were in poor body condition score, milk production and milk fat content was significantly low (P≤ 0.05). The mean GGT (Gamma Glutamyl Transferase) and AST (Asparate aminotransferase) values were significantly increased in SARA affected dairy cows. SARA seems to be a common problem in dairy cattle and it has to be considered when dealing with herd level problems like low milk fat, low milk production, poor body condition and appropriate management measures should be implemented to prevent it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
