“…Most of the victims (>80%) are children age 6-16 yrs transmitted by dog bite mainly in 99% cases and most of the deaths occur in Asia and Africa. A recent survey by Government of Bangladesh's Disease Control Unit of Ministry of Health indicates that the number of rabies death is at least 2335 per year and more than 300,000 persons receive post-exposure treatment per year [8][9][10][11].…”

“…Moreover, use of costly imported grains in diet increases feed cost high enough to limit broiler rearing. Therefore, nutritionists are suggesting to use cheaper unconventional locally available substitute to grains like Cassava Tuber Meal (CTM), potato meal for increasing profitability (Rahman and Reza 1983;Hossain et al 1989 …”

The study was conducted to find out the performance of broiler birds fed different levels of potato meal (PM). The levels of potato meal in the different treatment rations were control 0, 5, 10, and 15 g/kg, respectively. Dietary levels of PM did not affect live weight at 7, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days of age.However, live weight of broiler differed significantly (p<0.05) among different levels of PM in the diet at 14 days of age and increasing level of PM had a tendency to decrease live weight between 7 and 14 days of age. Feed intake increased linearly with the increasing level of dietary PM (p<0.05) up to 35 days of age followed by a decline at 42 days of age. At 14 days of age, feed intake in control diet and 10g PM diets were similar and intermediate, it was highest in 15g PM and lowest on 5g PM diet. However, feed intake did not differ (p>0.05) among different levels of PM in diet at 21, 28, 35, and 42 days of age.Feed conversion ratio (FCR) decreased between 7 and 14 days of age with the least conversion observed at 15 g/kg PM level. FCR didn't differ significantly (p<0.05) among different levels of PM in diet.Mortality did not alter due to the increasing levels of PM regardless of age of broiler. Dietary PM did not modify the dressing yield, breast meat, thigh meat and other carcass traits. Feed cost in different dietary PM groups were more or less similar, whereas total production cost per kg broiler were increased in 10 % Potato Meal than control (p<0.05). However, sale price (Taka/broiler) and sale price (Taka/kg broiler) were more or less similar in all treatments. Profit per broiler and per kg broiler were reduced as the PM level increased in the diet. It was therefore concluded that use of potato meal at 5 to 15g/kg diet may not be suitable for growth and profitability in broiler production.

“…Only a modest number of this population receives sustained rabies vaccination. The situation is very similar in most of south and Southeast Asia (Hossain et al 2011;Meng et al 2011;Meng et al 2010).…”

Rabies remains a constant threat to humans throughout much of Asia. The dog is the main reservoir and vector with wildlife playing a very minor role. No Asian country or region has been declared rabies free by WHO in over two decades and there is evidence of canine rabies spread to new regions during the past 10 years. We now have the knowledge and technology to control canine rabies. The main barrier in managing this costly endemic is lack of motivation by authorities to address this issue along with regional inability of public health and livestock (agriculture) officials to tackle this issue in cooperation and coordination. Rabies is one of the first recognized zoonoses and a model for a true "One Health" management goal where human; veterinary, and government officials must work together in harmony to defeat this disease.
