    Studies On Helminthic Status, Therapeutic Control And Their Impact On Milk Production In Diary Animals In Some Areas Of Jharkhand
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2001) Raj Kishore Sharma; K.D.Prasad
    For formulating and implementing the suitable and effective control measures against the parasitic diseases in animals, it is essential to indicate the current status of different parasitic infections in the population and thus study on the parasite incidence becomes essential. It is also observed in practice that frequent uses of the similar ant parasitic drug in the same animal population leads to the development of drug resistance against the parasite. So, time to time, evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of a drug is essential for selecting the drug of choice. The significant economic losses in milk yield caused by the parasitic infections can be minimized by the regular application of package of therapeutic control measure against the infecting parasites.

    Studies On The Prevalence, Therapeutic Control And Patho-Physiology Of Common Ectoparasites of Goats In And Around Ranchi, Jharkhand
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2001) Pankaj Kumar Singh; Ashok Kumar
    Considerable population of goats (29.55 %) at and around Ranchi were found to suffer from the lice, mange mites and ticks. These can be effectively controlled by using Deltamethrin, Topicure and Doramectin either in alone or with nematode mixed infection in goats under farm and village conditions. There is a need for the application of such therapeutic drugs at regular intervals to achieve satisfactory and long-term control of the ectoparasites infecting goats.

    Prevalence, Therapeutic Control And Patho- Physiology Of Common Helminths Infecting Stallfed And Grazing Cattle And Buffaloes In And Around Ranchi ,Bihar
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2000) Pravin Bharti; K.D.Prasad
    For formulating/ implementing the suitable and effective control measures against the parasitic diseases in animals, it is essential to indicate the current status of different parasitic infection present in the population and thus study on the parasite prevalence becomes essential. It is obligatory on the part of parasitologists to evaluate the efficacies of various ant parasitic drugs commercially available taking into account the quality, safety and economy under field conditions. It is also observed in practice that frequent uses of the same antiparasitic drug in the same animal population leads to the development of drug resistance against the parasites. So, time to time, evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of a drug becomes essential for selecting the drug of choice. For evaluating the therapeutic efficacies of any drug in situ, the mere observation on EPG does not give the actual picture of efficacy. Hence, studies on the haematological and biochemical variations in accordance with EPG counts during infection and post-treatment periods will in our opinion authenticate the efficacy of the drug.

    Studies on Prevalence, Therapeutic Control and Patho -Physiology of Common Helminthes Infecting Goats In And Around Ranchi,Bihar
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2000) Anil Kumar Nayak; A.R. Deb
    For implementing an effective control measure against G.I. helminth parasitic infection in goats, it is necessary to indicates the current status of various parasitic infection at a given time i.e. parasitic prevalence becomes essential, it is obligatory on the part of parasitologists to evaluate the efficacy of different anthelmintic drugs commercially available taking into account the quality, safety and economy under field condition. It is also observed in practice that frequent uses of the same antiparasitic drugs in the same animals population the parasites. So time to time evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of the drugs becomes essential for the selection of choice of drugs. For evaluating the therapeutic efficacies of any drugs in situ, the more observation changes on EPG does not give the actual and haematobiochemical variation in according with EPG count during infections and post treatment period will in our view.

    COMPREHENSIVE SUSTAINABLE CONTROL OF COMMON G. I. HELMINTHS AND ECTOPARASITES AND ITS ECONOMIC IMPACT IN SHEEP PRODUCTION
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Kanke, Ranchi, Jharkhand, 2007) Singh, Ram; Prasad, K.D.
    herewith: 1. Chhotanagpuri lambs were detected to acquire natural patent coccidial infection from 20th day post birth, whereas patent infection of different G.I.nematodes were observed to affect the animals from 35th day post birth onwards. 2. Fenbendazole+ Praziquantel G.I. nematode control package kept the animals completely parasite free from 10th day onward. 3. The local herbal anthelmintic preparation freed about 90 percent growing lambs naturally infected with G.I. nematodes till 20th DPT. 4. Cypermethrin ECP freed 100 percent growing lambs from lice infestation till 9th DPT onward. 5. The herbal ECP formulation cured clinical lousiness in growing lambs completely from 12th DPT onward. 6. The Chemical anthelmintic packages required repetition approximately after 2 months for long term sustainable control of common G.I. nematodes infected lambs and sheep. 7. The herbal anthelmintic package was required to be repeated at about 55th DPT interval for sustainable G.I. nematode control in lambs and sheep. 8. The chemical and herbal licicidal formulation need repetition of application for their sustainable lice control in sheep from 130th and 120th DPT intervals, respectively. 9. The G.I. nematode and lice infested growing lambs had reduced Hb, PCV and TEC values, whereas these parameters were found to get improved at about normal ranges after 15th DPT with chemical and herbal anthelmintics and licicidal agents. 10. The G.I. nematodes and lice infested animals had lower growth rate than chemical and herbal anthelmintic and licicidal drugs treated animals. 11. Approx. Rs. 360 net gain was observed after application of herbal NCP and LCP control packages in G.I. nematode and lice infested sheep. Likewise, approx. Rs. 406 per animal net economic gain was obtained after application of chemical NCP and LCP application upto 10 months. 12. The chemical and herbal anthelmintics NCP (250.80) and LCP (263.62) subjected animals were found to have their 1st oestrus cycle earlier than G.I. nematode and lice parasitized (310.06) sheep.

    COMPREHENSIVE CONTROL OF THE COMMON ENDO AND ECTOPARASITES AND THEIR ECONOMIC IMPACT ON THE PRODUCTION IN PIGS
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Kanke, Ranchi, Jharkhand, 2007) Kumar, Pawan; Prasad, K.D.
    The comprehensive sustainable control of the common G.I. helminths and mite infections affecting pigs at different stages of their lives were studied in detail by measuring the efficacies of parasite control packages, haematobiochemical parameters and some of the economical traits and the same have been summarised and concluded as follows : 1. Fenbendazole + Praziquantel control package was found to keep the G.I. helminths infected growing piglets almost completely free from the parasites for a period of 10 months. But the herbal anthelmintic package was able to eliminate approximately 98.48 percent parasites from the animals during the same period of observations. 2. For sustainable mite control in growing piglets upto 10 months, the chemical (Cypermethrin) and herbal miticidal control packages required to be applied at an interval of about 3 months. 3. The common G.I. helminths and mange affected pigs had decreased Hb, PCV and TEC values whereas these were found to have significantly returned towards normal ranges after 15th DPT onwards. 4. The decreased serum biochemical levels of Ca, P, Zn, Cu, TSP and albumin were found to be significantly improved at about normal after 20th DPT in G.I. helminths and mite infested animals. 5. Considerably higher average birth weight of piglets born from parasite freed pregnant sows was observed than untreated helminths and mite infested pregnant sows born piglets. 6. The total gross weight gained in chemical and herbal parasite control packages treated growing piglets were higher viz. 233.70 kg and 227.40 kg, respectively than untreated infected control animals (165.20 kg). 7. The growth rate of piglets born from parasite freed pregnant sows was found to be higher than parasitized born piglets upto weaning. 8. Rs. 423.33 and 371.00 per animal net profit were observed after application of common G.I. helminths and mite control packages in growing piglets. 9. The weight gained by the piglets born from chemical helminth control package (HCP) and mite control package (MCP) treated pregnant sows was found to be higher (1.06 kg) than herbal HCP and MCP treated pregnant sows born piglets (0.89) upto weaning. 10. The mortality rate in parasite freed pregnant sows born piglets was less (12.12 and 14.28 %) in chemical and herbal treated animals, respectively than parasitized pregnant sows born piglets (20.00 %).

    PREVALENCE AND THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF COMMON ECTOPARASITES INFESTING DOGS
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Kanke, Ranchi, Jharkhand, 2007) Nirala, Chandrakant Kumar; Deb, A.R.
    The prevalence of the ectoparasites infesting dogs at and around Ranchi was studied systematically. The natural clinical fleas and mites infestations in the animals were therapeutically managed by herbal formulations. The findings of the observations are being summarized herewith. An overall 82.39 percent infestations of fleas, mites, lice, ticks and flies was observed in dogs. There was non-significant difference in the prevalence of difference ectoparasites in male (70.54%) and female (69.65%). Younger animals (0-6 months) were found to suffer from ectoparasites more (84.47%) than 6-12 (81.71%) and 12 months onwards (79.71%) aged animals. Stray dogs suffered from different ectoparasites significantly higher (89.95%) than other dog breeds. Rainy season was found more suitable for higher (86.67%) degree of prevalence of ectoparasites whereas in winter and summer the incidence were 83.35 and 71.59 percent, respectively. Clinical fleas infestation in stray dogs pups was cured completely with Topicure (100% on 4 DPT onwards) where as own herbal 2 preparation cured 98.48 percent animals from fleas infestations till 15th DPT. Clinical demodicosis was cured completely (100%) with Topicure and own herbal preparation from 10th DPT and 15th DPT onwards, respectively. The decreased blood levels of Hb (Group-I - 9.46±0.70, Group-II - 9.91±0.61) PCV (Group-I - 31.55±1.80, Group-II - 32.21±1.40) and TEC (Group-I - 5.03±0.37, Group-II - 5.67±0.41) in fleas and mites infested animals were found to get significantly improved after 10th days Hb (Group-I - 10.53±0.60, Group-II - 10.26±0.55) PCV (Group-I - 35.80±1.64, Group-II - 34.66±1.39) TEC (Group-I - 6.08±0.20, Group-II - 5.91±0.42) post herbal ectoparasiticidal treatments. Majority of the serum bio-chemical constituents TSP (Group-I - 5.65±0.19, Group-II - 5.44±0.04), Serum glucose (Group-I - 72.91±0.64, Group-II - 73.55±0.39) and zinc (Group-I 210.50±2.14, Group-II - 207.83±2.98) remained at lower levels during ectoparasite infestations and these got improved towards normal ranges. TSP (Group-I - 6.10±0.07, Group-II 5.76±0.08) Albumin (Group-I - 3.42±0.04, Group- II 3.32±0.03), Serum glucose (Group-I - 78.58±0.36, Group-II - 79.72±0.27), Zinc (Group-I - 230.50±5.34, Group-II - 222.33±4.91) on 20th days post treatment. The increased serum ALT (Group-I - 3 61.00±0.30, Group-II - 62.94±0.33) and AST (Group-II - 52.46±0.36, Group-II - 53.43±0.32) values during infestations were found to be returned towards almost normal ranges ALT (Group-I - 60.55±0.205, Group-II - 61.59±0.35), AST (Group-I - 48.69±0.43, Group-II - 48.89±0.46) on 20th DPT. The different clinical ectoparasitic infestations in dogs were satisfactorily treated with topicure and local herbal formulations without markable side effects. The local herbal ectoparasiticidal formulation could be an acceptable therapeutic agent for the treatment of clinical fleas and mite infestation in pet dogs as well. However, detail clinical trials of the formulation might be required to verify the findings.
