“…Our finding was in agreement with the previous findings of some authors (Trence, 2001;Wudu et al, 2008). The incidence risk of calf dirrhoea was 34.82%, which was in agreement with other authors (Megersa et al, 2009 andMalik et al, 2012). In our study, the incidence risk of navel ill was 7.2%, which squares with the report of Ferede et al (2014).…”

“…Most of the inland reports based on hospital and /or farm records and pathological findings but there seems to be no reports or paucity of reports on etio-epidemiological factors associated with calf morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh. Infectious diseases have also been recognized as one of the important factors in the calf production worldwide and calf diarrhea is the most important disease problem in the young calf (Heinrichs and Malik et al, 2012) but very few such reports have been made under local conditions. In view of above situation, the present study was conducted to study the incidence risk of diseases/or disorders of calf in CIG dairy farms.…”

Calf morbidity and mortality are important causes of economic losses on dairy farms worldwide. An investigation on the incidence of calf morbidity and mortality was conducted on 92 purposively selected CIG (Common Interest Group) dairy farms in Muktagacha upazila of Mymensingh district. A total of 119 calves from the farms were longitudinally followed from August 2014 to November 2014 for major health problems. Representative fecal samples from diarrhoeic calves were tested to identify gastro-enteropathogens associated with diarrhea by rapid detection test kit (Bio K 306). The overall incidence risk of morbidity and mortality were 56.17% and 6.29%, respectively. The most frequent disease syndrome was diarrhea with incidence risk of 34.82% followed by navel ill (7.22%) and pneumonia (6.29%). In addition, fever, arthritis, pica and foot and mouth disease were encountered. The main causes of death in calf were pneumonia (3.739%) and FMD (1.78%). A variety of infectious agents are implicated in calf diarrhea and co-infection of multiple pathogens is not uncommon. The overall prevalence of microorganisms associated with diarrhea was 69.2% in which Clostridium perfringens was the highest (38.5%) within the first month of age. The prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp within first month of age was 7.7%. In this study, mixed infection with Clostridium perfringens and Cryptosporidium spp or Corona virus was found in 7.7% of diarrheic calves within 10 days of the age. It is now established that calf morbidity and mortality are an important limiting factors for the success of modern dairy farms and accordingly vigorous and comprehensive research should be taken to minimize the problem.

“…Enteritis is of particular importance as a significant number of cattle died from this syndrome. This result agreed with the findings of others [29][30] where they reported that the digestive problems are primary causes of mortality in cattle. Among them, calves were more common than other categories of animals.…”

Aim: Materials and Methods:Results: Conclusions:Keywords:The present study was conducted to find out the causes and factors affecting the dairy cattle mortality.A retrospective study of dairy cattle mortality on the Central Cattle Breeding and Dairy Farm (CCBDF) in Bangladesh was carried out between 1992 and 2007. Sixteen years of data on mortality of dairy cattle were analyzed for the effects of year, season, age, sex, breed, and etiology on mortality rate.The average overall mortality rate was 5.60% and on average, female cattle (55.71%) were found to die more than males (44.29%). Mortality was more in crossbred cattle than in indigenous breed. Higher mortality of cattle was observed in rainy season (37.98%) followed by winter (33.03%) and summer (28.99%). The major causes of death were diseases of the respiratory tract, mainly pneumonia (39.91%). Tuberculosis was the second most common cause of mortality accounting for 20.58% of deaths. The other major cause of death was disease of the alimentary tract, mainly enteritis (15.58%). Other causes of death occurred in the following frequencies: malnutrition (5.91%), debility (4.43%), hairball (3.35%), tympanitis (2.56%), babesiosis (2.27%), internal haemorrhage (2.16%), black quarter (1.76%), and foot and mouth disease (1.48%).Of the four potential risk factors investigated, age was the most important factor and significantly associated with mortality. During the first month of life, calves had a higher risk of mortality than adults. mortality. Bangladesh, dairy cattle,

“…Main effects of season category indicate that only odds of incidences of digestive diseases in summer were significantly (p < 0.01) less than that in winter. High occurrences of digestive diseases in winter and rainy season were also reported by Aland et al (2003) and Malik et al (2012).…”

The present study was carried out to understand the seasonal variations in pattern of various diseases in cattle of Pune division of Maharashtra state of India during January 2010 to December 2010. Data of 1538 cattle (both dairy and beef, both male and female), mostly cross-breds, were collected from randomly selected 421 livestock owners by stratified two-stage random sampling design from study area. A log-linear model was used to understand the seasonal variation in incidence of various diseases in cattle. Out of total 1538 cattle, 342 cattle were found affected due to various diseases during study period. The chi-square analysis of data revealed that there was unlike pattern of incidences of various diseases in three seasons. Overall incidence of all diseases was high in winter (41.23%) followed by rainy (39.18%) than that of in summer (19.59%). Overall incidences of reproductive diseases (17.84%) and digestive diseases (11.11%) were major problems in whole study period. A log-linear modelling showed that the odds of incidences of reproductive diseases were significantly higher in summer as well as in rainy season than in winter season. Winter season was dominated by occurrences of digestive diseases as compared to any other diseases. It is suggested that field veterinarians and personnel in animal husbandry sector should give emphasis on providing more information to farmers regarding adoption of standard managemental practices to avoid losses due to reproductive diseases, digestive diseases and other problems in different seasons.
