...ally examined across 180 farms, 80 tested positive via PCR, resulting in a morbidity rate of 6.26% and a herd prevalence of 37.22%. The morbidity rates in the 19 districts surveyed ranged from 1.45% to 17.95%. Risk factor analysis revealed that unvaccinated animals had the highest incidence rate at 17.94% (P<0.05), with an OR of 5.52 (95%CI: 3.62–8.44). Additionally, calves under six months old have a significantly higher risk of LSD compared to cows ...

...h. A total of 45 broiler farms of Barishal division were observed for the determination of infectious bursal disease (IBD) during the period of 1st July 2023 to 30th June 2024. Based on history and postmortem pathological lesions the overall prevalence of IBD was 15.10%. The major pathological lesions observed in this study were hemorrhages on thigh and breast muscles, swollen kidneys and principal findings were in the bursa of fabricious which appeared inflam...

Correlation analysis of seroprevalence and the climatic factors showed strong, positive and statistically significant correlation (r =0.58, 95% CI, 0.12-0.87, p=0.047) between the disease prevalence and average monthly rainfall. There was a moderate but non-significant positive correlation (r =0.47, 95% CI, ...

... broilers from different farms in Egypt. Then, we investigated the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in Salmonella isolates. First, 800 internal organs (heart, liver, intestine, and yolk sac) were collected from 200 infected broilers to genetically analyze their recovered Salmonella antimicrobial resistant genes. Ten isolates of Salmonella were recovered: two (20%) for each S. enterica serovar Grampia...

...of biogas systems in pig farms. The data showed that occupation, perceived usefulness, information awareness, social influence, and perceived cost were significant predictors of farmers’ willingness to adopt biogas. Specifically, occupation (B = -0.088, p = 0.007) and perceived usefulness also negatively affected (B = -0.149, p = 0.005) the willingness to adopt biogas; in addition, farmers having off-farm jobs or having high perceived usefulness of bioga...

The results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test using the disc diffusion method indicated that those E. coli strains isolated from pigs’ feces were significantly resistant to ampicillin (61.30%, 81.81%), followed by streptomycin (54.84%, 63.64%). However, those E. coli stra...

Diversity, abundance, and IndVAl were estimated as well as its correlation with climate variables. A total of 8,372 scolytines separated into 14 taxa within nine genera were observed. Scolytine diversity was low in all the agroecosystems, due to high dominance of Hypothenem...

Following extraction of total RNA from these samples, the partial segments of IBDV VP1 and VP2 were amplified using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Followed by sequencing of these segments, and a phylogenetic analysis of the strains was performed to evaluate the genetic divergence and IBDV reassortment. The genetic a...

...f the farmers 86% of the farms surveyed is mixed (crop-livestock) and 14% are of the crop-only type. It should be noted that livestock farming in oasis systems is based on family farming based on isolation, where sheep are separated for fattening, while goats and ewes are tangled for giving birth and milking, and chickens are raised for laying. Oasis livestock farming occupies a prominent place on the socio-economic level for local populations in order to sati...

This is best explained by the method of oral gavage; where the phages were added to milk and then the calves fed on the mixture on a daily basis. All the calves in the study were treated with an oral decoquinate that would help prevent coccidiosis in the calves, and vaccination was also conducted against respiratory as well as gastrointestinal infe...

These infections predispose cow more susceptible to infection and bacterial proliferation during the stages of estrus periods (proestrus, estrus, diestrus and metestrus). Here, we investigated the presence of saprophytic bacteria in vaginal smears, and...
