| dc.description.abstract | Diarrhoea 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 groups | en_US |
