    OTOSCOPIC STUDIES IN OTITIS, ITS DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES IN DOGS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2016-07) ADAM KHAN, H.; M. C. ANIL KUMAR
    The present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of otitis in dogs with respect to age, breed, gender, ear conformation and ear type. The cases with history and clinical signs of otitis were further evaluated for cultural examination, in vitro antibiotic susceptibility, video otoscopy and to determine the in-vivo efficacy of drug therapy for treatment of infection. Out of the 15766 dogs presented during the period of 6 months of investigation, 840 dogs were diagnosed to be affected with otitis giving a overall prevalence rate of 5.32 % and higher occurrence of otitis was recorded in dogs in the age group of 1-4 years (42.85 %) , German shepherds was the most affected (28.57%), occurrence of otitis was higher in male dogs (64 %) as compared to female dogs (36%), Dogs with erect ears (50%) were highly prone for otitis and majority of the dogs had unilateral otitis infection (67.85 %) as compared to bilateral infection (32.15 %). Video otoscopic examination revealed that in all the dogs with otitis ulceration of the ear canal was observed. Bacterial isolation from ear samples collected from clinical cases of otitis revealed presence of gram positive, negative bacterial and fungal isolates. In vitro Antibiotic sensitivity testing revealed that all the isolates showed maximum sensitivity to cefadroxil followed by Ofloxacin, Cefalexin and Enrofloxacin. On therapeutic trial, cefadroxil, Chlorhexidine gluconate and Ofloxacin combination had maximum recovery so it can be concluded that, these combination therapy is effective in otitis therapy.

    STUDIES ON CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS TYPE A NECROTIC ENTERITIS IN BROILERS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2016-07) NITEESH KUMAR; Dr. P.T. RAMESH
    The present study was undertaken to determine the diagnosis of Clostridium perfringens type A in necrotic enteritis outbreaks in broilers. Necrotic enteritis in broilers was diagnosed based on clinical signs, necropsy lesions, culture examination and polymerase chain reaction. A total of 8 flocks with necrotic enteritis were selected and per flock 6 samples from diseased birds and 6 samples from healthy birds were taken. The intestinal contents or faecal sample was subjected for isolation and identification of the bacteria using cooked meat medium and perfringens agar. Fifty Clostridium perfringens isolates were obtained from 96 samples from diseased and healthy broiler birds. Out of 48 isolates, 37 (75 %) isolates were from diseased broiler chicken and from 48 isolates, 13 (25%) isolates were from healthy broiler chicken. These isolates of Clostridium perfringens were subjected to PCR and all the isolates produced the amplification for alpha toxin gene and typed as Clostridium perfringens type A. The morbidity and mortality rates varied between flocks, average morbidity rate was 25.9 per cent and mortality rate was 6.9 per cent. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was carried out using disc diffusion method on all isolates. Doxycycline showed maximum sensitivity followed by ceftriaxone, lincomycin and virginiamycin. It is concluded that, isolation of Clostridium perfringens was more in diseased birds than healthy birds and toxinotyping of isolates by PCR technique is sensitive and rapid.
