“…Also, the report by [21] showed high incidence of fibrinous bronchopneumonia 24.3%. Unlike the results of the present study, [7] recorded a prevalence of 7.14%, the report of [8] recorded a prevalence of 15%, the study by [18] recorded a prevalence of 3.94% and the report by [24] showed an incidence of 7.5%.…”

“…The Pleurisy was observed in 2.1% of the examined lungs similar to reported by [7] (2.33%), to reported by [10] (4.06%) and to reported by [24] (4.5%). However, these rates are much lower than that reported by [12], [20] who observed presence of a pleurisy in 34% and 68% of examined samples respectively.…”

“…The results of the present study are consistent with the [21] and the report of [23] who reported interstitial pneumonia in 41.9% and 23.6% of the samples respectively with the highest incidence. On the other hand, this finding is in disagreement with the report of [7], the report by [10], the study by [18], the report of [24] the study by [25] and the report of [27], who had observed interstitial pneumonia in 11.9%, 8%, 16%, 5%, 15% and 13.6% of the affected sheep respectively.…”

“…It was of interest that, in this and the study of [21], the interstitial pneumonia had a high prevalence and was conducted nearly in the same time of the year (from October to April for this study and from February to April for [21]), whereas the other studies were conducted from October to January [8], from February to November the following year [24] and from December to February [27]. Therefore, further work is required to examine the incidence of interstitial pneumonia during rest of the year.…”

The highest incidence was seen in Baghdad in Iraq with 58.6% [27] whereas the lowest incidences of Suppurative bronchopneumonia recorded in Bangladesh with 5% [25], in Colombia with 3% [20] and in Egypt with 6.7% [24].…”

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of pneumonia in sheep in municipality of El-Beida, Libya. To achieve the goal, samples were collected from October 2020 to April 2021. The lungs of 525 sheep carcasses were subjected to gross examination and those suspected to be infected with pneumonia were studied at histopathological level. Pneumonia was detected in 141(26.9%) carcasses. Based on histopathological lesions 40.4% with interstitial pneumonia 37.6% with fibrinous bronchopneumonia, 14.2% were affected with suppurative bronchopneumonia, 3.5% with haemorrhagic pneumonia, 2.1% were affected with pleuritis and 1.4 % with embolic pneumonia. In addition 0.7% of the lungs showed aspiration pneumonia. The most common form of pneumonia was interstitial pneumonia and the gross and histological lesions of the different forms of pneumonia were consistent with the findings of other studies. In conclusion, the results of this study indicates that the prevalence of pneumonia in slaughtered sheep is relatively high and seems to be the most important condition in sheep in Libya. Further studies are recommended to identify the etiological agents of pneumonia in sheep.

Background Lung is susceptible and vulnerable to many infectious and non-infectious agents. From this, a large number of specific and nonspecific diseases conditions can be diagnosed. A cross-sectional study design was conducted from December 2022 to May 2023 on major pulmonary lesion of sheep and goat slaughtered at Dessie municipal abattoir with the objective of characterizing the pulmonary pathological lesions, and isolating and identifying potential aerobic bacteria and parasite from pneumonic lung. Materials and Methods A total of 420 (302 sheep and 118 goats) were examined for gross lung lesions and histopathological investigation using standard techniques. Additionally, detailed pathological investigation was conducted on purposively selected lung lesions. Besides, pneumonic lesions were subjected to routine bacteriological and parasitological analysis. Results The overall abattoir prevalence of pulmonary abnormalities in sheep and goat was 81.2% (341/420). The common gross lesions encountered were Pneumonia (55.5%), emphysema (7.1%), atelectasis (3.3%), Hydatid cyst (4.3%), congestion (2.4%), haemorrhage (3.1%), Anthracosis (0.9%), adhesion (0.7%), and Bronchoectasis (0.7%) respectively. Pneumonia, hydatidosis, and pulmonary emphysema were significantly associated (p < 0.05) with animal age groups. Pneumonia was the most common disorder, accounting for 233 (55.5%). Dictyocaulus filaria (47.7%), Mullerius capillaries (23.2%) and Protostrongylus rufescens (17.16%) were isolated lung worm parasites; whereas E. coli (20.6%), Klebsiella Pneumoniae (12.7%), Mannheimia haemolytica (10.8%), Streptococcus species (4.9%), Staphylococcus aurous (7.8%) and Pasteurella multocida (2.9%), Pseudomonas (6.9%), Proteus (1.9%) and Cornybacterium (1%) were the isolated bacteria. Moreover, 18 (4.3%) Hydatid cysts were identified by cyst viability test. The pulmonary disorder of sheep and goats in the study are relatively high prevalent and posing great health and economic impacts. Conclusion Pulmonary infection with different agents is very common in the study areas. Feasible and affordable control measures and using latest diagnostic techniques like molecular detections of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, is necessary.

The objectives of this study were to apply different methods for diagnosis of caprine pneumonia and to study the correlation between vitamin D concentration and the immunoglobulin's (IgG, IgM, IgA) in goats up to one year in response to pneumonia. From October 2018 to February 2021, a total of 107 baladi goats were examined; 20 apparently healthy goats used as control group (group I, n=20) and 87 pneumonic Baladi goats were diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms, ultrasonographic, chest x-ray findings. Serum vitamin D, IgG, IgM and IgA levels were also measured. Pneumonic goats (group II, n= 87) were subdivided into two groups according to their vitamin D levels; pneumonic goat with normal vitamin D level (groupII a, n= 38) and pneumonic goat with decreased vitamin D levels (groupIIb, n= 49). Pneumonic goats were presented with fever, dullness, tachypnoea, bilateral mucoid or mucopurulent/purulent nasal discharge, cough, dyspnea and abnormal lung auscultation. Ultrasonography, the pneumonic consolidation exhibits a liver like echotexture. Abnormality in the chest x-ray revealed increased opacity that may be more gray or white and cotton wool like appearance. Pneumonic goats with reduced vitamin D concentration (group IIb) also revealed significantly lower IgG and IgM concentrations in comparison to both group I and group II a. Vitamin D was positively correlated with IgG. Histopathologically, the pneumonic lesions include interstitial pneumonia, acute suppurative bronchopneumonia and acute fibrinous bronchopneumonia. On the basis of all findings, decrease vitamin D level may be important predisposing factors for occurrence of pneumonia in goats up to1years.
