| dc.description | Poultry is a promising sector in Bangladesh which is increasing day by day.
Poultry production is hindered by many problems among which various
diseases namely bacterial, viral and parasitic infections are the most
important (Ojok, 1993). In fact poultry of Bangladesh are parasitized by
various parasites (Sarkar, 1976). The Agro-ecological and geo-climatic
condition of Bangladesh favors the survival, multiplication, spread and
perpetuation of animal parasites. Moreover, management and managerial
system play an important role in high degree of occurrence of parasitic
disease in Bangladesh. Islam and Shaikh (1967) reported that both ecto and
endo-parasites are present in chickens of Bangladesh. There are different
types of internal parasites such as roundworms (Ascaridia spp, Heterakis
spp), tapeworms (Railleitina spp) etc. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The study was carriedout in the department of Pathology and Parasitology, Hajee
Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University during the period from July,
to December, 2012, to determine the proportional incidence of ascariasis in chicken of
different villages of Sadar Upazila of Dinajpur district and the comparative efficacy of
piperazine citrate and fenbendazole against ascariasis in indigenous poultry mainly on
the basis of presence or absence of egg of Ascarid parasites on feces of chicken.
Attempts were also made to study the effects of piperazine citrate and fenbendazole
on some clinical parameters in chicken. Average infection rate was found 84.22%.
The rate of infection was studied in various age groups i.e. 60 to 90(97.93%) days, 91
to 150 (91.76%) days and 150 to 210 (53.79%) days of age group. A total 507 of
chickens were examined for the presence of Ascarid parasites by faecal examination.
Out of 507 chickens, 45 chickens having ascarid positive were randomly divided into
3 equal groups (group A, B and C), each group consisting of 15 chickens.The
chickens of group B and C were treated with recommended (1g mixed in 0.35 kg feed)
dose of Pipervet® and recommended (0.6 gm mixed in 1.5 kg feed) dose of
Panacure® orally respectively. The chickens of group A were kept for control
(untreated).On the basis of fecal egg count, the efficacy of Pipervet® was 80% after
14 days of treatment whereas Pipervet® was 100% effective after 14 days of treatment
against ascariasis in chickens. After treatment, both group of treated and also control
groups of chickens were kept for 28 days and clinical parameters were investigated at
7 days interval (‘0’ day, 7 day, 14" day, 21% day and 28" day of treatment). Post
mortem worm count revealed that Panacure® was considerable effective against the
larval stage and adult worm. But Pipervet® is considering more suitable one
anthelmintic for the treatment of ascariasis in indigenous poultry due to cost effective
and available for rural people. This study is preliminary one considering small
population of chicken. So further study must be carried out to explore the possible
therapeutic use of Pipervet® against ascariasis as well as improvement of housing in
chickens of rural area. | en_US |
