Babesia Spp

Babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by protozoans of the genus Babesia. It causes haemolytic anaemia, fever, and occasionally hemoglobinuria, as well as death. A cross-bred jersey cow, aged 6 years, was brought to the Government Veterinary Hospital in Cheruthuruthy with symptoms of fever, anorexia, passing coffee-colored urine, and low milk yield. Babesia spp. is found in all the cows after blood smears were examined. Although their sensitivity and specificity are reduced, microscopy detection methods are still the cheapest and fastest methods for identifying Babesia parasites. Hb, PCV, and TEC levels were found to be lower in haematological studies. Hyperglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, BUN, AST, and hypoprotienemia were discovered in the blood. Haemoglobin, glucose, and bile pigments were found in the urine. The cow was successfully treated with diminazene aceturate (Berenil) at 2.5 mg/kg body weight in conjunction with supportive treatment.

Animal Monitoring

Purpose We propose cloud IoT based LMS (Livestock Management System) with three features. i) Animal healthcare monitoring and recording using IoT sensors via wearable collar, ii) Animal livestock identification using UID for animals (smart tag) and owners (smart card), iii) QR code reading, processing and display of the details in mobile via wireless technologies. Design/methodology/approach The developed animal monitoring device is used to detect animal physiological parameters such as body temperature; physical gestures like sitting, standing, eating and heartbeat, environmental parameters such as air temperature and relative humidity. Also, e-animal husbandry information network management system is the comprehensive web-based animal husbandry software designed for better interaction between veterinary hospital, veterinary doctor, owner, farmer and animal husbandry management. Findings Animal monitoring device mounted on the neck sense the values and predict the health status of the animal by using cloud IoT analytics platform. The accuracy of the system is 90 per cent and it can be well placed in the livestock environment. Research limitations/implications This research is carried out in livestock cows located in Tirunelveli district. The practical difficulty was in placing sensors on the animal. The digital feed from the farmers and the veterinary hospital is input in the animal husbandry management software. Practical implications The developed system can be implemented for monitoring the health status of the animal from anywhere using mobile applications. Also, the digitized animal information helps the government to take the right decisions on policies and fund allocation. Social implications The implemented system can be easily scaled up to large environments by using wireless communication and animal husbandry data will be available immediately. UID scheme for animals can uniquely identify the animal and its details. Originality/value The proposed work implements novel livestock monitoring and analytics system along with Aadhar (Unique ID) for animal. The proposed UID scheme is innovative and unique.

Diagnosis Of Diseases

The present investigation was undertaken to determine the clinical trend of reproductive diseases and disorders of cows at Saturia Government Veterinary Hospital, Manikgonj. More than 4 years (January 2007 to April 2011) data were collected from the patient register. The recording of animal description and owner’s complaint, and diagnosis of diseases or disorders of cattle were performed by the Government Veterinary Surgeon. A total of 10652 cases were collected and examined of which 61.0% (n=6496) were cattle. The lowest occurrence of diseases or disorders was in cattle at less than 1 year of age (10.44%; n=678) and the highest occurrence was in cows at 5-8 years of age (43.39%; n=2814). The occurrence of diseases or disorders that needed treatment by medicine expert was the highest (86.98%) and the occurrence of diseases or disorders that needed treatment by reproduction expert was the lowest (5.51%). Eight major reproduction related diseases and disorders were diagnosed among 5.51%, n=358 registered sick cows. The highest proportion of cows was diagnosed as anoestrus (22.35%; n=80) followed by retained placenta (20.39%; n=73), repeat breeding (19.27%; n=69), dystocia (13.69%; n=49), utero-vaginal prolapse (13.40%; n=48), pyometra (8.66%; n=31), abortion (1.95%; n=7) and ovarian cysts (0.28%; n=1). Eight major diseases and disorders were diagnosed among 7.50%, n=488 cattle registered with surgery related complaints. The highest proportion of cattle was affected with myiasis (23.98%; n=117) followed by hump sore (22.54%; n=110), lameness (19.08%; n=93), atresia ani (13.32%; n=65), umbilical hernia (10.45%; n=51), upward patellar fixation (5.33%; n=26), abscess (3.39%; n=19) and horn fracture (1.43%; n=7). In conclusion, the highest occurrence of anoestrus and retained placenta is very alarming which needs further research to decrease the occurrence of such disorders of cows in population.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjvm.v11i2.19126 Bangl.

The education of researchers in Sweden is regulated by a nationwide reform implemented in 1969, which intended to limit doctoral programs to 4 years without diminishing quality. In an audit performed by the government in 1996, however, it was concluded that the reform had failed. Some 80% of the doctoral students admitted had dropped out, and only 1% finished their PhD degree within the stipulated 4 years. In an attempt to determine the causes of this situation, we singled out a social-science department at a major Swedish university and interviewed those doctoral students who had dropped out of the program. This department was found to be representative of the nationwide figures found in the audit. The students interviewed had all completed at least 50% of their PhD studies and had declared themselves as dropouts from this department. We conclude that the entire research education was characterized by a laissez-faire attitude where supervisors were nominated but abdicated. To correct this situation, we suggest that a learning alliance should be established between the supervisor and the student. At the core of the learning alliance is the notion of mutually forming a platform form which work can emerge in common collaboration. The learning alliance implies a contract for work, stating its goals, the tasks to reach these goals, and the interpersonal bonding needed to give force and endurance to the endeavor. Constant scrutiny of this contract and a mutual concern for the learning alliance alone can contribute to its strength.
