ThesisItem Open Access 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. PATILTotally 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.ThesisItem Open Access DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF BACTERIAL ENTERITIS IN CALVES(KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY (KVAFSU), BIDAR, 2020-08) NEELESH; RAVINDRA, B. GDiarrhoea in the farm animals, especially in calves is one of the challenging clinical signs noticed in the dairy farm and is leading to economic loss to the dairy farmers. The future endeavour of successful dairy farming depends on the better management of calves. Therefore, the present study was envisaged to evaluate the prevalence, diagnosis and therapeutic management of bacterial enteritis in calves. A total of ten dairy farms in Bidar district were selected and visited to collect faecal samples and blood samples from diarrhoeic calves. To confirm, the faecal samples (N=100) were subjected to isolation and identification of underlying cause. The results showed that E. coli and Salmonella spp. as predominant bacteria in this area. In the prevalence study the early age group calves (0-1 month) were highly susceptible to both E. coli and Salmonella spp. and as age progresses the susceptibility reduces. Female calves were found to be more susceptible to the male counter parts. On haemato-biochemical examination there was significant difference (≥0.05%) in total leucocyte count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count and granulocyte count noticed when compared to healthy calves suggesting acute bacterial enteritis. Whereas, significant increase in erythrocyte count and packed cell volume may indicates moderate dehydration. Hypoglycaemia was observed in prevalence group when compared to healthy control group and were found to be within normal physiological limits. Therapeutic efficacy study against bacterial enteritis revealed that both the antibiotics (Group-I: Ceftiofur and Group-II: Sulphadiazine + trimethoprim) with common supportive therapy selected in the present study were found to be equally effective against bacterial enteritis exhibiting clinical recovery within 96 hrs of treatment in both the groupsThesisItem Open Access DIES ON OCCURRENCE AND IMMUNOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF CANINE ATOPIC DERMATITIS(KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-10) AISHWARYA, N.; (Dr. KSHAMA. M. A)is study was conducted with the objective of studying the occurrence of canine atopic dermatitis and to diagnose the atopic dermatitis through allergen specific IgE. Major clinical signs observed in atopic dermatitis in the present study were excessive itching, rashes, sneezing, watery eyes, inflammation of muzzle, neck, chest, periocular areas, the pinnae, the antebrachial area, the axillary and inguinal areas. A retrospective study from January 2017 to January 2019 was carried out using case sheets available at Veterinary College, Bengaluru. A total of 39,000 case sheets were analysed. The occurrence of canine atopic dermatitis was observed to be 10.53% and it was most commonly seen in dogs aged between 2 years to 7 yearsThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON CARDIAC AND HAEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN TRAINING AND NON TRAINING DOGS(KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-08) DHANASINGH NAIK, B.

C. ANIL KUMARThe 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.
