“…Enterotoxaemia in sheep, also known as pulpy kidney disease or overeating disease, is mainly caused by Clostridial perfringens type D with high carbohydrate diets, which affects faster-growing lambs that exhibit uncoordinated movements and convulsions before death [ 108 ]. In Bangladesh, the prevalence of enterotoxaemia is around 0.07%, with a year-to-year prevalence of around 0.05% and a season-to-season incidence of around 0.05% [ 108 – 110 ].…”

“…Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica , mainly commensal organisms, are the main etiological agents for pneumonia in sheep. The incidence of pneumonia in native sheep of Bangladesh is about 1.02%; however, it is more prominent in the winter season (0.53%) than in the rainy season (0.37%) [ 110 ].…”

“…Another major constraint is a lack of feed, which is the result of a combination of factors such as a lack of pasture land, high feed costs, competition between human and animal feed, and high prices for vitamins, minerals, and other supplements [ 13 , 71 , 132 , 136 ]. Poor health management practices, along with inadequate knowledge and inadequate veterinary and diagnostic services, a lack of vaccine facilities, a high price for medicines, a lack of consciousness, and an effective prevention and control policy, cause economic losses in sheep farming in Bangladesh [ 8 , 110 , 132 ]. Furthermore, marketing strategies are another major obstacle to the smooth development of sheep production in Bangladesh, including a lack of market information, a lower price, and a lack of organized and structured markets for meat and wool [ 126 , 132 ].…”

Indigenous sheep are highly adaptable and widely distributed in different regions of Bangladesh. They are famous for their tolerance to harsh environmental conditions, low demand for feed, and disease resistance with minimum or no housing and management facilities. Ample indiscrimi¬nate research reports and case studies on the native sheep of Bangladesh have been published. Nonetheless, a comprehensive review of reproductive and productive performances, as well as their various morphometric physiognomies and climate resilience capabilities, is lacking. This review was designed to explore and summarize the available research reports on indigenous sheep to highlight the gaps and provide an updated database for the future research plan for sustainable native sheep production in Bangladesh. It covers studies on sheep biodiversity, their adaptabil¬ity to the local environment, morphometric features, feeding and nutrition, reproduction and production performances, diseases and health management, and the problems and prospects of sheep farming in Bangladesh. Due to the increased demand for animal protein, especially red meat, the scope of sheep farming increases along with that of other large and small ruminants. The vital constraints of sheep production in Bangladesh include insufficient feed and fodder sup¬ply with its high prices, higher disease occurrence with low or no management practices, kid mortality, and a poor marketing channel with the lower popularity of sheep meat than goat meat. Future research would be a prerequisite to measuring the impact of native sheep on household economies and food security during the year, evaluating the other challenges, and finding out the possible interventions in the fields of nutrition, reproduction, and health management.

“…Accordingly, the present study was designed and implemented. Some researchers (Alam et al, 2015;Islam et al, 2015;Kabir et al, 2010;Karim et al, 2014;Munsi et al, 2015;Pallab et al, 2012;Parvez et.al.2014;Rahman et al, 2012;Sarker et al, 2013;Siddiki et al, 2015) carried out their research works on clinical cases of cattle and goats in the last decade but that of sheep are not available. Therefore, the present study was conducted at BLRI sheep research farm, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh.…”

Livestock species play an important role in the agro-based economy of Bangladesh. The present study was performed to determine the magnitude and trends of clinical diseases and disorders in native sheep in order to design a set of strategies to be applied for the prevention and control of these problems in this farm. A total of 1870 indigenous sheep at BLRI sheep research farm, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh were included under this study. The study was carried out during the period from January 2012 to December 2014. Diagnoses and records of clinical diseases and disorders were based on pertinent clinical history, clinical findings and laboratory tests. The major clinical diseases and disorders were determined diarrhoea (5.18%), malnutrition (2.85%), lameness (1.93%), pneumonia (1.02%), alopecia (0.88%), tapeworm infection (0.81%) and fever (0.51%). In case of seasons, the highest incidence was found during rainy season (2.26%) followed by winter (5.85%) and summer (4.25%); whereas in respect of age groups, the highest incidence was found in growing sheep (26.14%) followed by adults (12.15%) and lambs (10.93%). Although some diseases and disorders took place in the BLRI sheep research farm, the incidence were very low and most of the infectious diseases did not occur because of proper management of the farm particularly regular deworming, dipping and vaccination. Moreover, on the basis of these findings measures should be taken for further prevention of such diseases and manifestations. Asian Australas. J. Biosci. Biotechnol. 2016, 1 (1), 37-46

Background: The field veterinary hospital records serve as indispensable sources of valuable information on various farm animal diseases of the respective areas. The current retrospective study was conducted to determine the distribution of clinical diseases of farm animals presented to Atpara Upazila veterinary hospital from January 2007 to December 2010. Methods: Animal, disease and related data from the official register books were stored using the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program 2010. Descriptive statistics were performed and expressed as the percentage of disease and conditions with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Of the total 6825 clinical cases recorded from the patient register, cattle, goats and sheep were presented at 87.15%, 12.75% and 0.1%, respectively. The vast majority cases were medicinal (91%) followed by gyneco-obstetrical (6%) and surgical (2%) cases. According to etio-pathological nature, the most commonly observed disease categories were parasitic (20.35%), fever (4.67%), dermatitis (6.65%), metabolic and nutritional deficiency disorders (4.59%), anorexia (2.83%), diarrhea (2.52%), arthritis (1.47%), bloat (1.32%), pneumonia (1.29%), and FMD (1.27%). A higher proportion of female cattle and goats were presented compared to that of the males. Similarly, more adult animals were presented as clinical cases than young animals. Conclusions: Among most of the clinical cases in the study area, parasitic diseases were commonly prevalent irrespective of season and host. Appropriate strategic measures should be adopted to control such infection in the study area to minimize farm production loss.
