| dc.description | Livestock is the integral part of the agro-based economy of Bangladesh.
This sector contributes about 2.73% of national GDP in Bangladesh (DLS, 2009).
This sector provides full time employment to about 25 % and partial employment
of about 50 % of the rural population (BER, 2008; DLS, 2009). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The present study was carried out to detect the prevalence, seasonal variation of
helminth infestation in buffalo and the therapeutic intervention of Triclabendazole
(Fasinex®) and Nitroxynil (Nitronex®) against fascioliasis and Levamisole
(Ralnex®) and Thiophanate (Nemafax®) against gastro-intestinal nematodiasis.
Impact of such therapeutic programme in terms of body weight gain and milk
production was also investigated. The study was conducted from July 2009 to June
2010. A total of 232 faecal samples collected from the buffaloes were examined of
which 199 (85.78%) were found to be positive with parasitic infestations. The
prevalence of infestation in animals were observed as follows: Paramphistomum
spp in 31.03%, Fasciola spp. in 27.59%, Trichostrongyles spp. in 9.05%,
Haemonchus spp. in 6.47%, Trichuris spp. in 3.88%, Toxocara spp. in 3.88% and
Strongyloides sp 2.16% and Moniezia sp. in 1.72%. The overall lowest,
intermediate and highest prevalence of helminth infestation (for all worms) were
found during summer (78.37%), rainy (83.33%) and winter seasons (93.47%)
respectively. Treatment with Triclabendazole @ 12 mg/kg body weight orally
against fascioliasis significantly (p<0.01) reduced fecal egg counts nearly zero on
28" day, treatment with Nitroxynil @ 1.5 ml/ 50kg body weight S/C on 21" day.
Treatment with Levamisole @ 7.5 mg/kg body weight orally and Thiophanate @ 1
gm/14kg body weight orally against gastro-intestinal nematodiasis significantly
(p<0.01) reduced fecal egg counts nearly zero on 21% day and 28" day
respectively. Average body weight gain after treated with Nitronex®, Fasinex®,
Ralnex® and Nemafax® were 3.36%, 3.77%, 4.43% and 11.59% respectively
after 3 months of treatment. In control animals the mean body weights were -
1.04% and 0.126 % respectively. Assessment of milk production was evaluated
after Nitronex® treatment. The overall milk yield per buffalo cow per day was
found to be increased by 10.74 % in buffalo cows treated with Nitronex®. In
ix
control group, milk production was decreased by 10.00 % per buffalo cow per day.
The effect of Nitronex® treatment in increasing milk production was not
significant (P> 0.01). Finally it could be suggested that buffaloes affected with
various parasites has seasonal variation. Nitronex® against fascioliasis could be
and Ralnex® against gastro-intestinal nematodiasis considered as more potential
of anthelmintic drugs. Further more it has been found that anthelmintic has
positive impact on production status in terms of weight gain and milk production. | en_US |
