Abstract
The present experiment was conducted to find out the status and
impact of H. contortus (helminth parasite) in goats to evaluate the
therapeutic efficacy of cow-urine (Go-mutra) against natural infection of
haemonchosis in goats by observing the treatment effects followed by
EPG, different haematological parameters and subsequently their body
weight changes and the results obtained have been summarized as
follows:-
The overall prevalence of Haemonchus spp. in goats was
observed to be 36.85 per cent.
There was non-significant differences in the prevalence of
Haemonchus spp. infection in goat reared on different managemental
conditions.
Age-wise prevalence of Haemonchus spp. infection in goats
indicated that there was non significant difference during 1st and 2nd
year.
Sex-wise prevalence of Haemonchus spp. infection, it was
observed that female goats had higher degree of infection than males.
Breed-wise prevalence of Haemochus spp. infection in goats
indicates Black Bengal goats (37.14%) were more susceptible to
infection than Beetal (33.96%), Jamunapari (27.03%) and Barbari
(13.64%).
The efficacy of cow-urine (Go-mutra) in Haemonchus spp.
infected goats were assessed by applying EPG method reveal
significant differences in different groups of goats.
The haematological profiles of experimental group of goats
during H. contortus infection and treatment with Go-mutra was
observed that Hb per cent in blood samples of treated goats was
significantly higher than infected untreated control goats but there
was significantly increased lymphocyte per cent in control group of
goats on different days of infection compared with Go-mutra treated
goats.
The haematological values of experimental goats during
haemonchosis and treated with cow-urine, it was observed that
significantly increased percentage in Lymphocyte and Eosinophil in
control group than treated goats however, The Neutrophil per cent
and Moncocyte per cent were almost unchanged during infection in all
the group of goats.
The goats having haemonchosis and treated with Go-mutra
showed higher gain however, in infected untreated control group there
was no desire improvement in the body weight gain.
Based on the results of this study it could be concluded that:-
Cow-urine (Go-mutra) long term treatment in Haemonchus spp.
infection (in goats) was found to resistrict the infection to a limited
degree.
Due to high cost of Go-mutra, the treatment was found uneconomical.
Go-mutra may be a very good supportive therapy along with
specific anthelmintic preparation if given, for combating
haemonchosis in goats.
For evaluating the therapeutic efficacies of Go-mutra for
parasitic infection, the more detail studies will be required.
