Abstract:
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.
