Overuse of antimicrobials in livestock health and production beyond therapeutic needs has been highlighted recent years as one the major risk factors for acceleration antimicrobial resistance (AMR) bacteria both humans animals. While there is an abundance reports on AMR clinical isolates from humans, information regarding patterns animals scarce. Hence, a situational analysis based veterinary diagnostic laboratory was performed to examine extent demonstrated by diseased food Between 2015...
Aim: Coccidiosis is an important enteric parasitic disease of poultry associated with significant economic losses to farmers worldwide.This survey was conducted from June 2014 through July 2015 the main goal investigating prevalence and risk factors coccidiosis among village exotic breeds chickens in Maiduguri, Northeastern Nigeria. Materials Methods:A total 600 fecal samples live slaughtered birds comprising 284 young, 141, growers 175 adult birds; 379 male 221 female 450 150 local were...
Antibiotics are used by the veterinarians and poultry industry to enhance growth rates, health of birds, feed efficiency, egg production for therapeutic reasons reduce incidence diseases. had been in both prophylactic purposes. Most farmers Nigeria have employed use various antibiotics with or without guidance veterinarians. Although benefit most its uses, illegal these drugs has led accumulation toxic antibiotic residues edible products destined human consumption. And this poses a major...
In African countries, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) issue remains pertinent. Despite this, little efforts have been made to assess the future veterinary prescribers on their knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) related usage. This multi-country survey attempts explore KAP of veterinarians stewardship identify knowledge gaps. Eight schools participated from Nigeria, Sudan South Africa. Data regarding perceptions were analysed using Chi-square χ² test, Spearman's (Rho) Rank order...
Village chicken or Ayam Kampung, common to Southeast Asian countries, has always been regarded as superior in comparison commercial broiler terms of wholesomeness and health benefits. The current study investigates the prevalence risk factors Salmonella among village flocks from central southern states Peninsular Malaysia. A total 35 were sampled Selangor (n = 19), Melaka 10), Johor 4), Negeri Sembilan 2). In total, 1,042 samples collected; these included cloacal swabs 675), eggs 62), pooled...
Aim: A ten – year retrospective study was conducted with the aim to determine prevalence of Newcastle Disease (ND) in relation other poultry diseases diagnosed State area veterinary clinics. Study Design: Retrospective study. Place and Duration Study: This Gombe State, Northeastern Nigeria. Case files from Tashan Dukku Pantami clinics metropolis were reviewed for File cases reported between January 2004 December 2013 studied. Original Research Article Lawal et al.; BMRJ, 6(6): 367-375, 2015;...
Aquaculture activities have been implicated as responsible for the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), leading to broad dissemination and transference antibiotic pathogens that affect humans animals. The current study investigates on-farm practices environmental risk factors can potentially drive development multi-drug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli Vibrio parahaemolyticus in aquaculture system. A cross-sectional was conducted on 19 red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) 13 Asian...
The prevalence and antimicrobial sensitivity of Salmonella from dogs in Maiduguri Metropolis were determined using standard bacteriological methods to assess the risk possible transmission infection humans. Of 119 samples, was isolated 52 (43.7%).

Aim . This survey study was conducted from April 2014 through March 2015 in Bauchi, Yobe, and Gombe states, northeastern Nigeria, to explore the risk factors associated with occurrence of gastrointestinal helminthosis among indigenous donkeys ( Equus asinus ). Materials Methods A total six hundred fresh faecal samples were randomly collected varying age, sex, settlements. Simple flotation sedimentation techniques used for detection helminths eggs. Results Three nematode parasites encountered...
Laboratory surveillance and the monitoring of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends patterns among local isolates have been highly effective in providing comprehensive information for public health decision-making. A total 396 cases along with 449 specimens were received antibiotic susceptibility testing at a university veterinary diagnostic laboratory Malaysia between 2015 2017. Escherichia coli was most frequently isolated (n = 101, 13%) bacteria, followed by Staphylococcus...
Aim:A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of bovine brucellosis among cattle slaughtered at three municipal abattoirs Gombe State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods:A total 200 blood samples collected from different breeds , sex (males -19 females -181), locations (Billiri -30, Yamaltu Deba -50, -120) were screened for using rose bengal plate test (RBPT), serum agglutination (SAT), microtiter (MAT).Results: Of analyzed, 7 (3.5%), 10 (5.0%) 18 (9.0%)were positive...
The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR), including colistin resistance, among Enterobacteriaceae recovered from food animals poses a serious public health threat because the potential transmission these resistant variants to humans along chain. Village chickens or Ayam Kampung are free-range birds and preferred by growing number consumers who consider be organic more wholesome. current study investigates antibiogram profiles Salmonella isolates village chicken flocks in South-central...
This cross sectional survey was conducted from July to December 2015 in order investigate the burden of gastrointestinal helminthes among guinea fowls Gombe, Northeastern Nigeria. A total six hundred (viscera) were purchased randomly selected slaughter slabs. Out 600 birds examined, 479 (79.83%; 95% CI: 76.4, 82.9) found harbouring one or more helminthes. Of this, 238 (39.7%; 35.8, 43.6) infected by nematode species and 392 (65.3%; 61.4, 69.0) cestode species. nine nematodes seven cestodes...
To determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Salmonella isolates in mesenteric lymph nodes apparently healthy slaughtered food animals at Maiduguri central abattoir, Nigeria. A total 154 (cattle-54, camel-22, sheep-12, goats-66) were collected from analysed using standard microbiological biochemical methods. An overall 39.0% [95% confidence interval (CI): 31.3–46.7] was obtained. The rate across studied species ranged 24.2% (95% CI: 13.9–34.5) goats to 61.1%...
Background and Aim: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) still remains a major zoonotic bacterial disease affecting livestock humans worldwide.The poorly managed tropical in most developing countries of the world; where addition to productivity losses significance international trade, it posed public health threat both animals.A retrospective study was designed investigate occurrence bTB lesions at Bauchi municipal abattoir. Materials Methods:The utilized abattoir records spanning period 10 years...
Companion animals especially cats and dogs can provide a bridge for transmission of emerging bacterial diseases that are zoonotic in nature. Zoonotic had posed numerous risk to ownership of companion by human either through direct or indirect contact recent years where livestock species being used as pets. Furthermore, could play significant role zoonosis potential reservoirs various infections. These have impacted greatly the definition new paradigms re-emerging infectious particularly...
The aim of this study was to analyse the epidemiology gastrointestinal helminths among local and exotic breeds chickens in Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria.
