Assessing the treatment outcome of various reproductive diseases of animals by follow-up monitoring in VTH, BAU

Abstract

Background: Reproductive disorders have been found to be a major reason for decreased reproductive efficiency in animals. The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of different treatment for various reproductive diseases of domestic animals in Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh. Methods: A total of 100 animals were registered for treatment during the study period. Among those 59 cattle, 9 goats and 1 turkey were treated for reproduction related diseases. On the other hand, 28 cows and 3 goats were bought for regular pregnancy diagnosis. Standard procedures were followed for the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases. Results: Among the reproductive diseases of cattle, conception failure was 37.29% (n=22), uterine infection was 33.89% (n=20), anestrous was 13.56% (n=8), repeat breeding was 5.08% (n=3), vaginal prolapse was 3.39% (n=2), pastular vulvo-vaginitis was 1.69% (n=1) and ovarian hypoplasia was 1.69% (n=1). Only 2 bulls 3.39% (n=2) were diagnosed with posthitis. In goats, retention of placenta was 66.67% (n=6), abortion was 22.22% (n=2) and anestrous was 11.11% (n=1). There was one turkey with cloacal prolapse. All the animals having reproductive disease were treated in VTH. There was 93.22% improvement/effectiveness found in cows. The turkey and goats show 100% effectiveness of treatment. Conclusion: We can conclude that the most common reproductive diseases of cattle and goats in Bangladesh are uterine infection, anestrous, conception failure, pastular vulvo-vaginitis, vaginal prolapse, repeat breeding syndrome, abortion, retention of placenta and posthitis. Any disease or disorder of the genital tract may affect the reproduction as well as the production and fertility. Therefore, it is important to be concerned about the treatment and management of the diseases of the genital tract. Careful management and treatment of these diseases will ultimately help to increase the animal’s productivity in Bangladesh. The treatment given in VTH, BAU are successful for recovery.

A Clinical Survey on the Prevalence and Therapeutics of Reproductive Disorders in Goats in Chattogram, Bangladesh

“…The prevalence of repeat breeding was recorded in 4.19% of goats in the present study, which is closer (6.7%) to the findings of Sayeed et al (2020) and lower (9.3%) than the findings of Kulsum et al (2020), who conducted a study in an upazila veterinary hospital in Dinajpur district. The prevalence of abortion was 1.83% in goats in the present study, which is lower than the findings (12.5%) of Lucky et al (2016) or the findings (22.22%) of Boishakhi et al (2018) in another teaching veterinary hospital in Mymensingh district. The prevalence rate of dystocia was 4.97% in goats in the present study, which is almost similar (3.20%) to Srivastava et al (1985) in India.…”
