“…The mortality rates of adults were found 7.41%, 6.17% and 22.22% whereas in kids 13.58%, 24.69% and 25.93% during summer, winter and rainy season, respectively. These observations support the reported value of Rahman et al (1976). The average mortality rates of adults and kids among three herds considering the seasons were observed 35.81% and 64.19% respectively.…”

“…The results imply that disease incidence and mortality rates in moderate poor was somewhat lower than that of ultra poor households because of better management and feeding practices in the former. The mortality rate of adult goats were 16.67%, 10.42% and 20.83% for herd size 1, 2 and 3 respectively which were higher than the observed findings by Rahman et al (1976) where 5.33% adult goats showed mortality under farm and rural conditions. Overall survivability and mortality rates of kids at selected study areas: Overall statistics of kids presented in Table 2 showing that survivability and mortality rates were 80.60% and 19.40%, respectively.…”

Abstract:A study was carried out in Faridpur, Habiganj and Barisal to identify the prevalence of diseases, morbidity and mortality of Black Bengal goats (BBGs) under semi-intensive system reared by moderate and ultra poor households in Bangladesh during the period from February 2008 to July 2009. A total of 168 female goats and 9 bucks were recorded from two types of households of which 125 goats were infected (74.70%) by a number of diseases and lead to mortality (17.26%). Survival rates and mortality percentage of kids were 80.60 and 19.40, respectively but the highest mortality was in Habiganj (21.18%). Seasons had special influences on mortality of adult goats (35.81%) and kids (64.19%) where the highest mortality rates were 22.22% and 25.93%, respectively in rainy season. PPR had the highest mortality rates (37.93% in adults and 25.00% in kids) followed by pneumonia (24.14% and 21.15%, respectively). Predator invasion was the other remarkable cause for increased kids' mortality (23.08%). The study suggests that hygienic management practices, adequate supply of nutrients, and vaccination and deworming programmes in semiintensive rearing system of BBGs at rural level will improve the survival rates of adult goats and kids.

“…Among them, a considerable number is of respiratory problem, especially pneumonia. A variety of causes are responsible for development of pneumonia (Rahman et al, 1976). The knowledge of pathogenesis, gross, microscopic changes of lung and antibiotics sensitivity test on isolated bacteria will help the veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment of the diseases.…”

The foremost important goal of the present study was to investigate the bacteriological and pathological conditions in lungs of goats slaughtered in four different slaughter houses/places of Mymensingh Sadar, Mymensingh and in addition to it, antibiotic sensitivity test of commonly used antibiotics in Veterinary practices were performed on isolated bacteria. A total of 75 lungs of slaughtered goats were examined individually and out of which 20 affected lungs were collected for histopathology and bacterial isolation respectively from Mymensingh Sadar, Mymensingh in Bangladesh, during the period from January to May 2013.The lung lesions was grossly recorded 40% in goats (30 out of 75 lungs examined). Grossly, the lung lesions were categorized into (a) hemorrhages 35% (b) congestion 25% (c) hemorrhage and congestion 15% (d) emphysematous lung 15% and (e) hepatization in lung10%. In histopathology, lung lesions were categorized into (a) bronchopneumonia 30%, (b) pneumonia 25% (c) hemorrhagic pneumonia 20% (d) emphysema 15%, (e) purulent pneumonia 10%. Pasteurella sp. (15%) was isolated from the lung lesions of hemorrhagic pneumonia, E. coli. (25%) from bronchopneumonia and Staphylococcus sp. (40%) from purulent pneumonia, focal pneumonia and emphysema, and mixed infection (Staphylococcus sp. and E. coli) 20%. Finally antibiotics sensitivity test was performed on isolated bacteria to which ciprofloxacin was more powerful than others (penicillin, amoxicillin, streptomycin, nalidixic acid and kanamycin) tested and the second one was oxytetracyclin.

“…Small ruminants under intensive and extensive production systems are extremely susceptible to the effects of wide range of helminths (Abede and Esayas, 2001). Helminth infestation lowers the immunity of the animals and render them susceptible to other pathogenic infections (Garedaghi et al, 2011).Previous reports suggested that amongst the disease of small ruminants, the parasitic diseases are of prime importance in Bangladesh (Rahman, 1975). He reported the death of as high as 25.0% kids and lambs and 43.5% adult goats due to GI parasites in both rural and farm condition.…”

Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitism is anegregious problem in small ruminant production system due to is impact on growth and associated cost of control measures. An epidemiological study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of small ruminants from different areas of Madhupur, Tangail. The stool samples were collected from a total of 426 goats and sheep from study areas. Specimens were subjected to Stoll's ova counting technique and the overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitic infection was found 63.4%. Overall prevalence of nematodes, cestodes, trematodes and protozoa was 52.11%, 2.11%, 36.62% and 10.33%, respectively. The prevalence of parasites were variable with Fasciola spp. (24%) and Balantidium spp. (6.34%). Parasitic ova counts in male and female exhibited no significant variations (p>0.05) between them. The infection was significantly higher (65.11%) in adult than in young (58.09%). No significant (p>0.05) variation was observed in infection rates between goats (64.09%) and sheep (60.67%). Seasonal variation was found significant between rainy (72.44%), winter (56.72%) and summer (61.82%) seasons. Animals with poor body conditions (74.67%) were mostly affected compared to those with moderate (62.38%) and good (39.00%) body conditions. Further attempt is necessary for a structured surveillance and monitoring of GI parasites to formulate effective control measures.
