Abstract

In the present investigation, 300 cows milk samples were collected and these samples were screened out on the basis of California mastitis test (CMT) for estimation of clinical and subclinical mastitis in cow. Total 64.66% prevalence rate was found, out of which 53% and 11.66% were found sub clinical and clinical mastitis, respectively. Most of the samples were positive to bacteriological examination and various type of bacteria were isolated, the most prevalent being Streptococcus aureus, followed by S. agalactiae, E. coli, Micrococcus sp., Enterobater aerogen, Bacillus sp. and Corynebacterium. Administration of ,trisodium citrate creates unfavourable pH medium in the quarter/udder retarding the infection. It was also observed that trisodium citrate administration increased the fat, S.N.F, milk yield, over the respective values of in mastitic milk.

Abstract

The prevalence of strongyloidiosis due to Strongyloides papillosus in goats in Kanpur region of Uttar Pradesh was studied and trial using arsenic 200 and cina 200 was conducted in goats tamed by the individual farmers during mansoon of the year 2012. Out of 80 examined goats aged above one year, 14 (17.5%) goats were found to be positive for Strongyliodes nematodes and multiple infection of trematode and cestode was also observed based on the faecal examination. For observing the efficacy of drugs, goats were randomly divided into three groups A, B and C of 3 goat each. Arsenic 200 @ 20 pills and cina 200 @ 20 pills twice a day were given orally to each of the goats group A and B while the goats of group C were kept as untreated control. Efficacy was observed by calculating on zero to 14 days post treatment by faecal egg count reduction test. The result of homoeopathic treatment by using the drugs arsenic and cina indicated 96.55 per cent and 98.62 per cent efficacy, respectively. It was found that Strongyloides papillosus appeared to be extremely resistant to drugs of arsenic and cina. It can be suggested that arsenic and cina were proved to be a better effective control on Strongyloides papillosus in goats without producing any side effect.
