    CERTAIN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ANTIBIOTIC RESIDUES IN CATTLE MILK AT SELECTED DISTRICTS OF KARNATAKA
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2017-06) VINU DAVID, P.; (Dr. P. T. RAMESH
    A total of 120 milch cows reared in organized and unorganized sectors were screened for antibiotic residues in milk at Bangalore Rural, Kolar and Chickballapur districts by non-probability sampling. Epidemiological data with respect to various parameters were collected and recorded. Forty milk samples each from three districts were subjected to different screening tests namely MDRT, microbiological method and Beta-lactam ELISA. Out of the 120 samples screened, MDRT revealed 32 positive samples (26.7%) and among these 27 (22.5%) had antibiotic equal to or more than MRL and five (4.2%) had antibiotic less than MRL. By microbiological method 29 samples (24.1%) showed positive results in the disc assay based on measuring the zone of inhibition produced by Bacillus stearothermophilus. By ELISA 26 samples (21.7%) were found to be positive for Beta-lactams with more than 4 ng/ml. Kolar district had the maximum number of positive cases in all the above tests. A total of 35 (29.2%) samples were tested positive for antibiotic residues either by one test or a combination of tests. Among the positive milk samples nine were from Chickballapur district, 10 from Bangalore Rural district and 16 from Kolar district. Among the total animals screened, the number of cattle positive for all the three tests was 25 (20.8%), number of cattle positive for any two test combinations was 26 (21.7%) and the number of cattle positive for one test was found to be 32 by MDRT (26.7%), 29 by Microbiological method (24.1%) and 26 by ELISA (21.7%). Statistical analysis of different tests in each district was carried out by Chi square test and it was observed that no significant difference (P ≥ 0.05) was present between the three tests in all the districts.

    STUDIES ON RESPIRATORY INFECTION IN SHEEP WITH EMPHASIS ON MYCOPLASMA
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2017-11) M. SHIVAKUMAR; Dr. P.T. RAMESH
    This study was conducted to record the clinical signs suggestive of mycoplasmoses, changes in haematological parameters, isolation, and identification and to screen the sheep for mycoplasma antibodies. The clinical signs in the flocks which have been studied were mostly of upper respiratory tract infection like nasal discharge (74), followed by conjunctivitis (17), abortion (15), mastitis (08), arthritis (08) and corneal opacity (03) in different flocks 2with the percentage of 41.11, 9.44, 8.33, 4.44, 4.44 and 1.66, respectively. There was stastically significant elevation in the TLC in the mycoplsma suspected sheep when compared to healthy animals. Filamentous and whirl pool like structure when agitated were noticed in most of the liquid media. Three types of colonies were noticed in the present study which consisted of central nipple and granular periphery identified as Mycoplasma agalactiae, vacuolated and very big size colonies were identified as Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae and typical fried egg (nipple shaped) colonies were identified as other mycoplasma. A total of 43 isolates were tentatively identified as mycoplasma based on cultural methods and biochemical tests which comprised of 23.88%. The different species of mycoplasma as identified by biochemical tests and confirmed by PCR were M. ovipneumoniae (32), M. arginini (06), M. agalactiae (03) and M. capricolum (02) which comprised of 74.41, 13.95, 6.97 and 4.65 per cent, respectively. A total of 360 sheep were screened using Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae particulate antigen and highest seropositive animals were noticed in the lambs less than six months old (92.22%) followed by the sheep aged more than three years 65.58%. The other middle age group sheep ie, 6 month-1 year and 1-3 year had seropositivity of 28.88% and 47.77%, respectively. A significant difference was noticed in the number of ELISA positive cases in different age groups.

    EVALUATION OF FRUCTOSAMINE AS A BIOMARKER IN DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES MELLITUS IN CANINES
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2017-12) ANUPAMA, K.; P.T. RAMESH)
    The present study was undertaken to determine the levels of fructosamine, comparative analysis of fructosamine and glycated haemoglobin and also for estimation of associated parameters in diabetic dogs. Also a group of healthy, chronically ill and pregnant dogs consisting of six animals were included in the study to establish the normal concentration of fructosamine in each group. The chronically ill group was further divided into three and the dogs suffering from chronic renal, cardiac and hepatic related illness were included with two animals in each group. In the present study the nondescript dog was found to be affected in greater number. Highest incidence of diabetes was recorded in the age group of six to twelve years. Female dogs were found to be more prone in the present study and more particularly intact female dogs. Hematological profile of the diabetic dogs revealed mild leukocytosis. Total protein and albumin values were within normal range and serum biochemistry revealed no significant difference in diabetic dogs with that of healthy dogs. The fructosamine concentration was least affected in chronically ill dogs. Fructosamine, glycated haemoglobin and blood glucose levels were significantly elevated with the mean values of 638.3 µmol/L, 9.27 per cent and 416.5 mg/dl, respectively in diabetic dogs and showed positive correlation which endorse the acceptance that fructosamine is useful as one of the valuable biomarkers for diagnosis and management of diabetes in dogs.

    STUDY ON ASSESSMENT OF ANTHELMINTIC RESISTANCE AGAINST STRONGYLOSIS IN GOATS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2017-08) YASHODA RATHOD; VIVEK R. KASARALIKAR; N. A. PATIL; RAVINDRA B. G.); SHRIKANT KULKARNI; SUNILCHANDRA U
    The present study was undertaken to know the prevalence, haematobiochemical changes and to assess anthelmintic resistance in strongylosis of goats. In Retrospective study, the overall clinical prevalence of strongylosis was 6.64 per cent whereas a point prevalence of 34.54 per cent was recorded among the gastroenteritis cases during the period of April 2016 - March 2017. A prevalence of 48 per cent was recorded in farm study which was 10 per cent in organised farms and 86 per cent in unorganised farms. Clinical study showed higher prevalence in the goats aged between 1-3 years (51.32%) with higher disease frequency in females (85.53%). The prevalence was highest in less than one year age group (42.71%) with higher disease frequency in females (83.33%) under farm study. Highest prevalence was observed in the month of June (18.29%). Pale conjunctival mucous membranes, emaciation, inappatence and diarrhoea with foul smelling faeces were prominent clinical signs observed. Haemato-biochemical changes revealed anaemia, increased total leucocyte count with eosinophilia and decreased levels of total proteins, albumin, A: G ratio, serum glucose and elevated levels of globulin and SGOT on the day of presentation in all the goats affected with strongylosis. Among Fenbendazole, Ivermectin and Levamisole used for treatment of strongylosis in goats, Levamisole was found to be effective in eliminating strongyles in goats with higher faecal egg count percentage of 96.85 per cent where as, FECR less than 90 per cent with fenbendazole (85.36%) and ivermectin (88.90%) suggestive of developing resistance in strongylosis of goats in and around Bidar.
