Successful Surgical Management of Bilateral Lacerated Teat in Holstein Friesian Crossbreed Cattle | Chapter 6 | Innovations in Biological Science Vol. 8

 

Teat injuries in dairy cattle are often responsible for premature culling of affected cows. Teat injuries are responsible for great economic loss in dairy animals especially in high yielders if not treated promptly. This paper reports and describes the surgical management of deep bilateral longitudinal teat laceration in a cow. A 5.5-year-old Holstein Friesian crossbred cattle was presented with a history of traumatic injury by barbed metallic wire on the right fore-teat six hours before. Clinical examination revealed full-thickness, bilateral, longitudinal laceration of the same teat, extending from the base of the teat to the distal teat orifice with leakage of milk. The animal was active and alert with vital parameters recorded within the normal physiological range. Prompt reconstructive surgery was performed under sedation and local anesthesia to repair the laceration. The closure of the teat cistern was performed by suturing the laceration in a three-layer suture pattern. The outer-most skin layer was apposed with braided silk No. 1-0 in a simple interrupted suture pattern. Post-operative care included intramammary and systemic antibiotic therapy with NSAID for five consecutive days along with daily antiseptic dressing of the wound and regular drainage of milk via the fixed infant feeding tube in the teat cistern. The animal had shown uneventful recovery without any complication with the removal of skin suture on the 10th post-operative day and started hand milking of the teat on the 20th postoperative day. Surgical affections of the teat are best operated during the first 12 hrs. following injury because adequate reconstruction of the tissue becomes very difficult in later stages due to the development of severe inflammation.

Nationwide Eradication of Bovine Viral Diarrhea in Denmark: Strategies, Outcomes and Lessons (1994-2002) | Chapter 6 | Contemporary Research and Perspectives in Biological Science Vol. 10

A fundamental feature of the epidemiology of the pestiviral Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) infection is that a bovine fetus infected in its first trimester will not be able to identify the virus as a foreign agent because of which it will not produce antibodies when becoming immunocompetent. Surviving fetuses will, therefore, be delivered persistently infected, shedding the virus lifelong in all body secretions. Most importantly, the infection will be spread airborne following air movements.

In 1991, it was evident that the eradication of BVD was desirable. The prevalence of the infection in cattle in Denmark was known to be very high. New sensitive Danish antigen and antibody ELISAs were available and a subunit BVD vaccine had been made at the State Veterinary Virus Research Institute, but their value had not been demonstrated. Methods to control and eradicate nationwide had never been tested anywhere. To clarify these questions, it was therefore arranged in collaboration with the Veterinary Virus Research Institute to perform the following three comprehensive pilot studies, 1) the vaccination efficacy study, 2) the test evaluation study, and 3) the Samsø island eradication study.

The vaccine was found unable to prevent fetal infection in pregnant cattle, but the ELISAs appeared to be safe and well suited for an eradication program. A bulk tank milk reaction in the blocking antibody ELISA below 50 % of blocking would indicate BVD-free status (no presence of persistently infected animals), and a blood sample examination of just three young animals free from colostral antibodies could with acceptable reliability be used to indicate infection status and to confirm an earlier likely BVD-free status. Finally, the Samsø island eradication study demonstrated that eradication would be feasible.

The pioneering decision to start eradication nationwide was taken by the farmers’ organizations with effect from January 1994. It was a huge advantage that the Danish Dairy Board had its own laboratory experienced in large scale control examinations and with any professional expertise. All test data were transferred to the central herd register also administered by the farmers’ organizations.

After two years, the Danish Veterinary Service supported the program with legal provisions but still rejected mandatory eradication. The most important legal regulations were that animals to be moved to other herds, exhibitions, or common pastures had to be accompanied by a certificate issued after blood testing of the individual animals and that persistently infected animals were not allowed on pasture. In 1999, the trade certificate conditions were relaxed for herds having been free for over two years so that a blood test of animals to be moved no longer was required. From the course of the program, it could later be concluded that it would have been far more effective and less expensive, if legal provisions including mandatory eradication had been implemented right from the beginning. Nevertheless, a cost-benefit estimation later showed that expenses had been paid back within eight years.

Veterinary practitioners had a central position. At regular intervals, they received circulars and overviews of the situation in dairy and non-dairy herds in their practice including deadlines for confirmatory free-status control for herds requiring control on blood samples.

Introduction of persistent infection in earlier free herds was a severe problem over the whole period. For 67 dairy herds found infected in a one-year period from July 1997, (1) a few were infected because a pregnant heifer had become infected in a common pasture, (2) for 39% of the herds, persistently infected animals had been present at neighboring farms, and (3) for 25% of the herds no immediate possible cause could be found. It was concluded that airborne introduction had to be the cause, not only for a high proportion of the infected herds where persistently infected animals were present on neighboring farms, but also for most of the cases where no immediate cause could be observed.

The most important experiences from the successful Danish BVD program are that the tests employed were supreme, that the lines selected for eradication and control were excellent, but also that eradication should have been mandatory right from the start. A such condition would most likely have reduced the eradication phase of the program to four years.

Increasing Madura Cattle Productivity through an Integrated Breeding Area Model | Chapter 11 | Research Advances and Challenges in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 2

Aims: The purpose of keeping Madura cattle is distinguished meat production, cultural tourism, and as a symbol of prestige (Sonok and frequency) for breeders. Sonok cattle and frequency will indirectly improve the genetic quality of Madura cattle because farmers always make selections.

Study Design: Laboratory and survey method was used in this study.

Place and Duration of Study: The research material of Madura cattle at a breeding location in Sumenep Regency and Pamekasan Regency, Madura Island. The study was carried out between January until December 2023.

Results: Data 2023 total Madura cattle 22.83% of the East Java cattle population and 6.79% of the national population. Madura cattle expenditure from East Java in 2023 is 2.09%. Livestock expenditure must be controlled so the population is stable and the best livestock does not go out to maintain production stock. Increasing productivity through an integrated seed source area model with technology implementation can be increased.

The goal is to increase the production and genetic quality of livestock. So far, the selection of the best Madura cattle is based on the selection of farmers based on body size without recording. The morphometric approach indicates production performance accompanied by molecular analysis, reproductive efficiency, mapping feed potential using satellite images, and Artificial intelligence (AI). This approach was carried out to initiate the formation of seed source areas as breeding locations for pure-breed Madura cattle. The superiority and purity of Madurese cows deserve to be maintained. This advantage is the essential capital for increasing productivity. In the future, it can reduce feeder cattle imports and frozen meat.

Bovine Babesiosis: Useful Diagnostic Tools for the Identification of Cattle Persistently Infected: An Update | Chapter 1 | Current Innovations in Disease and Health Research Vol. 5

 The objetive concerning this chapteris to describe an update of the main demonstrative techniques, that allow for the labeling of persistently polluted cattle that remain as asymptomatic warships of Babesia spp.Bovine babesiosis is a parasitic disease generated by intraerythrocytic protozoan organisms of the type Babesia. The most important variety that affect cattle are Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina and Babesia divergens. Various methods have been implemented to recognize bovine babesiosis, usually the leader is the thin or thick blood Giemsa-tainted smear to microscopically show the presence of parasites as plant structure of the clinical symptoms. Babesial contaminations are difficult to detect by way of the low number of parasites in minor blood. Therefore, DNA-located molecular methods have happened developed with excellent advantages, such as extreme analytical sense and specificity rates.  As an alternative, indirect serological assays maybe used to check animals with determined infections for particular antibabesial antibodies. Serological techniques have the disadvantage of presenting with cross reactions between antibodies to Babesia sp. and are not forever reliable in identifying mammals that are persistently infected.

Genomic Characterization of Indian Mithun (Bos frontalis), Wild Gaur (Bos gaurus) and Tho-Tho Cattle (Bos indicus) – Population Diversity, Unique Phylogenetic and Chromosomal Status | Chapter 6 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 6

 Mithun (Bos frontalis) or gayal and Indian Bison or untamed gaur (Bos gaurus) are listed among India's precious and endangered bovine variety. The remote neighborhood of mithun in four North Eastern Hill states (Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, and Mizoram), scattered population size, and lack of hereditary diversity status are main constraints to developing an appropriate development and conservation policy for these variety. Tho-tho cattle are inborn to Nagaland, sharing similar terrestrial locations with mithun. Genomic flags (bovine microsatellites) and complete sequence dossier of mitochondrial transmembrane protein coding cytochrome B (CYTB) gene were took advantage of for the assessment of differing population parameters and ancestral diversity of mithun, gaur, and Tho-tho cattle. Molecular cytogenetic reasoning using FISH revealed familial proximity of mithun with gaur, alternatively cattle class. This study represents the first comprehensive genomic and cytogenetic description showing the population construction, genetic diversity, and singular phylogenetic status of exceptional Indian bovines: Mithun, wild gaur, and Tho-tho herd.

Pseudo-pericarditis: A Newest Finding for Diagnosis of Theileriosis in Large Ruminants| Chapter 13 | Newest Updates in Agriculture and Veterinary Science Vol. 1

 Theileriosis is individual of the burning healthcare issues in big ruminants. Pale mucus membrane, increased lymph nodes, coldness of some degree, and jaundice are typical and familiar dispassionate signs of theileriosis. One more clinical feature is disclosed, i.e., artificial-pericarditis, which can aid in diagnosis. It is a exceptional circulatory whole disorder that exhibits slight jugular satiation and edema up to the ventral tummy. The present chapter is more prominence on the new sign of theileriosis. History of frequent pyrexia, inappetence, respiratory distress, pertaining to the throat vein satiation, and thoracic and ventral edema are standard facial characteristics of pseudo-pericarditis associated with theileriosis. PCR maybe used to validate the results of ancestry smear and lymph bud aspiration examinations. Besides this, ultrasonography clinically helps diagnose anechoic fluid build-up around the essence. The animal can be effectively discussed with five-epoch parenteral Oxytetracycline, Meloxicam, Frusemide, and supportive hematinics. Gradually, the animal demonstrated signs of recovery within a temporal length of event or entity's existence and resumed sane appetite.

Determining the Treatment of Chronic Fascioliasis in Cattle with Gelmicidum and Fascocidum | Chapter 9 | Research Aspects in Agriculture and Veterinary Science Vol. 4

 The recommended dose of the complex preparation of Gelmicidum 7.5 g for every 100 kg of body weight is once inwardly provided extensity of efficacy of 80 percent, intensity of efficacy of 83.8 percent. Scientific and field trials have shown a high intensity of Fasciola hepatica infection in cattle, the recommended dose of the complex preparation of Gelmicidum 7.5 g for every 100 kg of body weight is once inwardly provided extensity of efficacy of 80 In this scenario, it was perfectly reasonable to increase the drug's therapeutic dose by 13% and assign 8.5 g/100 kg of body weight, which produced a high extensity of efficacy (EE – 100%) and intensity of efficacy (IE – 100%). (IE - 100 percent ). The trials' findings confirmed previously obtained data on the efficacy of the Gelmicidum preparation in the optimal dose of 8.5 g/100 kg of b/w, which equates to 5.95 mg/kg of oxyclosanide and 17 mg/kg of albendazole, according to the active component. At a single oral treatment with feed, Fascocidum exhibited 95.6 percent IE at the prescribed dose of 10 mg/kg b/w. In the first group (Gelmicidum), the economic effect was 85.9 rubles per cow per day, while in the second group (Fascocidum), the effect was 46.5 rubles per cow per day. During the experience after treatment (3 months), the overall economic effect in the cow group was 154.6 thousand rubles, compared to the basic medicine in the first group (Gelmicidum), and 83.7 thousand rubles in the second group (Fascocidum). Under field conditions, Gelmicidum and Fascocidum did not create any negative effects because they had eaten treated feed satisfactorily.

Study on Prevalence and Economic Loss due to Hydatidosis in Slaughtered Animals in Juba South Sudan | Chapter 13 | New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 2

 At the Gumbo slaughterhouse in Juba County, a three-month cross-sectional research was done. The study's goals were to find out how common hydatidosis is and how much money it costs to lose organs as a result of it. A total of 4,989 animals were subjected to routine pre-slaughter checks and meat inspections. With a prevalence of 3.99 percent, hydatidosis was discovered in 199 distinct visceral organs of slain animals. Cattle, sheep, and goats had prevalence rates of 3.94 percent, 6.99 percent, and 2.74 percent, respectively. Hydatid cysts were found in 53.27 percent of the liver, 44.22 percent of the lungs, 1.51 percent of the spleen, 1.0 percent of the heart, and 0.0 percent of the kidneys, respectively. As a result, organ condemnation was highest in the liver and lungs. The predominance of Nilotic indigenous cattle was 5.74 percent, whereas the exotic Ankole cattle breed was 2.0 percent. It's possible that this is owing to the free-range grazing and close connection with household dogs. In November (4.3%), December (4.4%), and January (4.4%), there were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) in the prevalence of hydatidosis (3.2 percent ). Male cattle exhibited a higher sex-based frequency than female cattle (4.11 percent) (3.65 percent ). When compared to female sheep (4.88 percent) and goats (3.97 percent), male sheep and goats revealed no significant differences in rates of 5.31 and 3.97 percent (P>0.05), respectively (2.96 percent ). Adult cattle exhibited a prevalence rate of 3.93 percent, which was higher than that of young cattle (2.39 percent ). Adult sheep and goats had a prevalence of 5.26 percent and 3.83 percent, respectively, compared to 4.72 and 2.64 percent for young sheep and goats. 199 organs of cattle, sheep, and goats were condemned at retail market price throughout the study period, resulting in an economic loss of 6,032 South Sudanese pounds (SSP), or US$ 2,035.77 (one American dollar = 2.963 SSP). In South Sudan, hydatidosis is a widespread sheep illness that causes economic losses. The socioeconomic and cultural prerequisites for community-based control techniques must be developed. Dogs should not be allowed access to fresh offal, and condemned organs should be disposed of in a sanitary manner, according to key stakeholders. To evaluate the genotypic characteristics of Echinococcus granulosus local strains in livestock, as well as to assess the indirect economic damage and study the public health consequences of hydatidosis in South Sudan, more research is needed.

Investigation of Risk Factors Associated with the Frequency of Antibodies against Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina in Cattle in Southern Mozambique | chapter 10 | Research Aspects in Agriculture and Veterinary Science Vol. 2

 Babesiosis in cattle is a disease caused by Babesia spp., a protozoan spread by ticks of the Ixodidae family, and is a major economic concern in the tropics. It is spread by ticks of the species Rhipicephalus microplus, Rhipicephalus decoloratus, Rhipicephalus everts everts, and Hyalomma marginatum rufipes in Mozambique, and is primarily caused by B. bigemina and B. bovis. The disease is characterised by high rates of morbidity and mortality in tropical and subtropical climates, and it is widespread in southern Mozambique, where beef cattle imported from neighbouring countries make up the majority of livestock. Gender, age, and geographic origin were investigated as risk factors for serological prevalence and molecular diagnostic of B. bigemina and B. bovis in beef cattle in Maputo, Gaza, and Inhambane, southern Mozambique, using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (i-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 809 and 240 blood samples from cattle were obtained at random and examined by i-ELISA and PCR at the same time. By i-ELISA, the overall prevalence of B. bigemina and B. bovis was 71.8 percent (n = 581) and 76.6 percent (n = 620), respectively, and by PCR, 11.3 percent (n = 27) and 37.1 percent (n = 89). According to the age and geographic origin of the samples, there was a significant difference in the two illnesses. The findings of this study provide significant information on the epidemiology of B. bigemina and B. bovis infection in beef cattle in the examined region, which can be used by domestic livestock management to plan future disease control actions.

Determine the Prevalence of Fasciolopsis in Cattle Slaughtered at Eke Market Abattoir, Afikpo, Ebonyi State, Nigeria | Chapter 11 | Current Research in Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences Vol. 3

 In the current study, feacal samples collected from the rectum of slaughtered cattle were analyzed using the standard floatation technique (saturated sodium chloride) to recover the ova from the feacal samples in order to determine the prevalence of fasciolopsis among cattle slaughtered at the Eke Market abattoir in Afikpo, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The liver and other organs of the slaughtered cattle were also tested for Fasciola species post mortem. Between May 2011 and April 2012, 93 (37.89%) of the 256 cattle slaughtered at the Eke Market abattoir tested positive for F. hepatica, while 60 (23.44%) tested negative. contaminated with F. gigantica The prevalence of fasciolopsis on the livers and other organs examined during post mortem examination in this study was 66(25.78%) for F. hepatica and 42(16.41%) for F. gigantica. F. hepatica was the most common fasciolopsis infection in the study area. Balantidium coli infection was found in 46 percent of the cattle sampled (17.97 percent ). Because of the high prevalence of fasciolopsis in the study area, veterinary and health officers should inspect meat slaughtered at the Eke Market before making it available to the public for consumption. A range land devoid of freshwater snails (the intermediate hosts) of Fasci should be provided for cattle headsmen. A range land devoid of freshwater snails (the intermediate hosts of Fasciola infections) should be provided.

Recent Study on Prevalence of Fasciolosis Emphasis on, Age, Origin, Body Condition and Post Mortem by Geographic Information Systems on Sacrificial Examination in Malang District – East Java, Indonesia | Chapter 15 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 2

 Infection of ruminants with ruminant fasciolosis is a serious problem in animal production, especially in Indonesia. Fasciola gigantica, also known as liver trematode, is an endemic parasitic species with a high infection rate in Malang district. During Eid Qurban 2019, the investigation was conducted to determine the prevalence of fascioliasis in Malang District, East Java. 68 cutting points in 9 sub-districts were used to collect data. A total of 265 cows, 895 goats, and 112 sheep were examined, with the focus on age, origin, body condition, and post-mortem anomalies from the questioners. In the Gondanglegi sub-district, the prevalence of fasciolosis was higher in cattle (57%) than goat (18%). Meanwhile, sheep in Wajak were completely afflicted with fasciolosis. Overall, Malang District given 86 percent of fasciolosis in cattle with good body conditions. Malang District was also responsible for 82 percent of infected goats and 78 percent of infected sheep. Adult cattle (2-3 years) had 53 percent abnormal livers, adult goats and sheep (1-1,5 years) had 78 percent and 89 percent abnormal livers, respectively. Fasciolosis infections are more resistant in adult livestock. The Malang district's control of fasciolosis infections in large and small animals needs to be improved. The faecal egg analysis should be carried out in endemic areas to better understand fascioliasis distributions and monitor the disease by educating people about the disease's public health implications.
