    SEROEPIDEMEOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INFECTIOUS BOVINE RHINOTRACHEITIS IN BUFFALOES OF NORTH-EASTERN REGION OF KARNATAKA
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2015-06-01) SHARANAGOUDA.B.M; N.A. PATIL
    Totally 370 serum samples from the four districts of North-Eastern region of Karnataka were screened for IBR seroprevalence viz., Vijaypura, Bidar, Kalaburgi and Yadgir districts using ELISA kit .Overall prevalence of IBR in this region irrespective of farming system was found to be 36.49%.In buffaloes less than five years of age overall prevalence was found to be 8.92% and it was 27.57% in buffaloes more than five years age. Among the buffaloes having the history of abortion overall prevalence was found to be 9.19%. District-wise seroprevalence was highest in Bidar district (51.09%) followed by Kalaburgi (43.48%),Vijaypura (35.87%) and lowest in Yadgir district (15.96%). Among the different farming sector higher prevalence was found in organized farming sector. Between the districts the prevalence of IBR was highest in Bidar district organized sector compared to other districts. Among the unorganized sector highest seroprevalence was in Kalaburgi district. No significant difference of seroprevalence of IBR was seen among less than five years age buffaloes in different districts but lowest seroprevalence was in Yadgir district. Seroprevalence of IBR in more than five years age was more compared to less than five years age group. Highest prevalence of IBR in more than five years age group was seen in Bidar district. Prevalence of IBR in buffaloes with history of abortion was highest in Bidar district and no significant difference was seen in seroprevalence of IBR between districts. The higher prevalence of IBR in organized farming sector may be attributed to poor managemental practices observed in this region during the study.

    CERTAIN STUDIES ON THE INCIDENCE AND DIAGNOSIS OF CANINE DISTEMPER IN DOGS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-09) BHAVANA, S.; Dr. H.A. UPENDRA
    Canine Distemper (CD) caused by canine Distemper virus (CDV) is one of the most severe and infectious viral diseases of dogs and many other carnivores producing high morbidity and mortality. The present study was carried out to detect the presence CDV in suspected dogs by Immunochromatographic (IC) test and by RT-PCR. Sixty dogs were diagnosed with CDV based on clinical manifestation indicating an incidence of 0.75 per cent of which 43.33 per cent were found to be positive for CD when the clinical samples (

    To investigate the effects of physical training on cardiac dimensions and function and to study the difference between training and non-training dogs with the help of ECG and echocardiography , dogs were divided into two groups namely Group- 1 (Training dogs) and Group 2 (Non-training dogs). The mean heart rate was found to be lower in Group 1 (100.17 ± 8.23 bpm) when compared to non-training dogs (125.5 ± 6.90 bpm).Haematological analysis revealed no significant changes between the two groups. Although serum biochemical analysis revealed a greater ALP and LDH levels in Group 1 when compared to Group 2. Electrocardiography yielded increased amplitude of QRS wave, prolonged PR and RR interval in Group- 1 when compared to Group 2. Upon further investiga

    Canine Distemper (CD) caused by canine Distemper virus (CDV) is one of the most severe and infectious viral diseases of dogs and many other carnivores producing high morbidity and mortality. The present study was carried out to detect the presence CDV in suspected dogs by Immunochromatographic (IC) test and by RT-PCR. Sixty dogs were diagnosed with CDV based on clinical manifestation indicating an incidence of 0.75 per cent of which 43.33 per cent were found to be positive for CD when the clinical samples (nasal/conjunctival swab) were subjected to IC test, indicating that clinical manifestation alone cannot be the criteria for diagnosis of CD. Upon haematological evaluation, Neutrophilic leukocytosis with lymphopaenia, anaemia and thrombocytopaenia were

    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.

    PREVALENCE, DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF SUBCLINICAL MASTITIS IN DEONI COWS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-08) VAIJANATH; Dr. N. A. PATIL
    The study was carried out to know prevalence, diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy of Marbofloxacin and Vitamin E and Selenium against the subclinical mastitis from lactating Deoni Cows at Organized and Unorganized dairy farms in and around Bidar. Screening of subclinical mastitis was done by California Mastitis Test (CMT), Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Somatic Cell Count (SCC) in milk. Positive samples for subclinical mastitis were considered for isolation and identification of bacterial pathogen by cultural examination. Ninty (56.25%) out of one hundred sixty lactating cows were found positive for subclinical mastitis. Affected quarter-wise single, two, three and four prevalence was given a prevalence of 28.13, 25, 1.88 per cent. Out of 21 positive milk sample 16 and 9 samples were found positive for Staphylococcus spp. Streptococcus spp. (76.19%) and E.coli (42.86%) organism. The antibiogram of the bacterial isolates to standard antibiotic discs determined by disc diffusion method revealed the highest sensitivity to Gentamicin and Enrofloxacin followed by Tetracycline, Moxifloxacin, Cefoperazone, Ceftriaxone, in decreasing order and least sensitive to amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Positive animal were treated with single dose of Marbofloxacin (8mg/kg.BW) alone, Marbofloxacin with Vitamin E & Selenium and Vitamin E & Selenium alone on ‘0’day and 3rd day with (1ml/25kg.BW) given intramuscularly. Therapeutic efficacy of Marbofloxacin along with Vitamin E and Selenium showed (86.67%), Marbofloxacin (84.62%) and Vitamin E and Selenium (50%).
