Thu, 01 Dec 2022 00:00:00 GMT

INCIDENCE OF SURGICAL CASES AT MIRZAPUR UPAZILA IN TANGAIL DISTRICT OF BANGLADESH Hossain, M. M.; Nazmunnnahar, N.; Akter, R.; Islam, M. This study was to determine the incidence of most common surgical cases in cattle, calves and goats at Mirzapur Upzilla Veterinary Hospital, Tangail during the period from January 2021 to December 2022. The total number of recorded cases were 900 (Cattle=328, Calves=472 and Goat=472) during the study period. The incidence rate of surgical affections in recorded is castration (23.77%), abscess (12.80%), wound (10.97%), fracture (9.76%), Navel ill (8.54%), Vaginal prolapsed (8.54%), Hernia (7.93%), Myiasis (6.71%), Atresia ani (5.49%), ovariohysterectomy (3.05%) and upward patellar fixation (2.44%). In calves, the rate was umbilical hernia (40%), umbilical abscess (15%), atresia ani(12%), naval myiasis and abscess (8%), intestinal prolapsed and fracture of jaw (2%). In small ruminants especially in goat the incidence rate was coenurosis (19.07%), subcutaneouscyst (13.98%), castration (13.56%), abscess (11.86%), fracture (8.90%), myiasis (8.47%), wound (6.36%), atresia ani (5.51%), urolithiasis (5.51%), hernia (4.24%) and ovariohysterectomy (2.54%). The incidence rate was higher in goat (52.5%) , cattle (36.4%) and in calves (11.1%) .Moreover, the incidence rate was higher in male compared with female. In addition, the incidence rate was higher in summer (36.2%) followed by rainy season (32.01%) and winter season (31.2%). Myiasis and arthritis were the most common cases in summer whereas urolithiasis was more common in winter. However, the study might be helpful to compare the incidence rate of surgical cases in other areas of Bangladesh and take necessary action to minimize the incidence of surgical cases. Key words: surgical diseases, animals, surgery, prevalence, Mirzapur.

ANTIDIABETIC EFFECT OF ALOE VERA IN ALLOXAN INDUCED DIABETIC RAT Islam, M. S.; Sarkar, S. K.; Hossain, M. M.; Masum, M. A.; Rahman, T. Oral anti-diabetic agents have a number of serious adverse effects, thus, managing diabetes without any side effects is still a challenge. Therefore, the search for many effective and safer hypoglycemic agents has continued to be an important area of investigation. Besides, drug classically used for the treatment of diabetes (insulin, sulphonylureas, biguanides and thazolidinediones), several species of plants have been described in the scientific and popular literatures having a hypoglycemic activity. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of Aloe vera on blood glucose level in rats in diabetic condition. In this study a total of 150 rats (50 normal rats and 100 alloxan induced diabetic rats) were used for five trials. The rats were divided into three groups for each trial, each containing 10 individuals as follows: Group A is the control, Group B as diabetic control and Group C were diabetic rat received Aloe vera. Then alloxan injection was injected at a dose rate of 100 mg/kg body weight through intra-peritoneal route to each rat to induce diabetes in groups B and C. Aqueous extract of Aloe vera were fed by gavage at a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight daily for 21 days in group C. On the 10th day blood glucose level and the body weights were measured for the first time to ensure diabetic induction. Then all the rats of this group were kept for more 21 days for the treatment of diabetic condition. During experimental period, day 0, 7, 14 and 21 blood samples were collected from all groups and determined their blood sugar level using diabetic kit. After 3 weeks of treatment the blood glucose level significantly (P<0.001) reduced in the group C compared to B from 260± 11.53 mg/dl to 91.21 ± 3.67 mg/dl. On the other hand, the average body weight was increased significantly (P<0.001) from 260 gm to 279.88 gm in the group C compared to that of B. From our findings, it is concluded that Aloe vera can be used as anti-diabetogenic agent in food.

PRODUCTION STRATEGY AND ITS EFFECT ON SPOTTED DEER AT NATIONAL ZOO IN BANGLADESH Islam, M. R.; Alam, M. J.; Talukder, A.K.M.B.I, The production and reproduction profile, feeds and feeding and herd management of spotted deer studied in captive condition at Bangladesh National Zoo in this experiment. For these purposes, fifteen (15) deer’s from each group i.e. adult male (Stag or buck), adult female (Doe), juvenile and infant were used during January 15 to December 15 th 2018 for a period of eleven months. Available feeds that were supplied to the spotted deer such as maize fodder, Jambu grass and Gourd Spinach (Kolmi grass), cabbages, cucumber, gourd, pumpkin, grain, wheat bran and soybean meal. Amount of CP and metabolic energy was 13.63% and 14.38 MJ ME per day respectively. From the study it was observed that average males and females’ birth weights were 2.97 and 2.73 kg, adult males and females weights 78.08 and 60.97 kg, males and females weaning weights were 19.05 and 18.49 kg respectively. It was also observed that average weaning age was 5.19 months, length of estrous was 17. 40 days, age at first fawning was 14.48 months and gestation lengths were 232.69 days respectively. It is concluded that recommended rations need to be fed with proper management systems to keep balanced nutritive conditions along with productive and reproductive well-being of the spotted deer at Bangladesh National Zoo.

MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES (MMPS) EFFECT ON ENDOMETRIUM IN CYCLIC COWS

MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES (MMPS) EFFECT ON ENDOMETRIUM IN CYCLIC COWS Rahman, A. N. M. I. The aim of this study was to investigate the probable hormonal influence on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in cow endometrial tissue. The cow uterus of different follicular and luteal stage was collected from an abattoir in Dhaka city. In the laboratory, the tissue was separated from the caruncular and intercaruncular regions of the cow endometrium. MMPs were isolated from the endometrial tissue by using tissue lysis buffer and gelatin zymography have done. Zymograms of the tissue supernatant showed that MMP-9 and MMP-2 both are differentially expressed in the follicular and luteal group. Total MMP-9 and MMP-2 protein expression were found higher in caruncular tissue in the estrous cycle group. Caruncular tissues have more potential to respond to hormonal-induced MMP secretion. Reproductive hormone estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) seems to be influenced the clearance of MMPs since E2 and P4 is the prime hormone of the follicular and luteal stage respectively. In conclusion, hormonal contact of the endometrial tissue during the cyclic stage control the MMP secretion and play regulatory activity of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in endometrium during cyclic stage of cows.
