Abstract Background Understanding potential risks of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens from the booming poultry sector is a crucial public health concern. Campylobacter spp. are among most important zoonotic associated with MDR infections in and human. This study systematically examined socio-environmental factors farms live bird markets (LBMs) Bangladesh. Methods Microbial culture PCR-based methods were applied to examine occurrence patterns sources ( n = 224) at 7 hatcheries, 9 broiler...
Salmonella spp. are an important group of pathogens responsible for human and animal diseases. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence identify characterize isolated from broiler farms Gazipur, Tangail, Dhaka districts Bangladesh. also evaluated difference positivity status between two groups farms, good practices adapted in rearing at project intervened non-project traditional farms. A total 352 samples including 128 cloacal swabs, 32 whole carcasses, 64 feed, water, attendants' hand...
Campylobacter, one of the four key causes diarrheal diseases humans, is a zoonotic bacterial pathogen commonly found in cattle, sheep, goats and poultry. As number crossbred cattle steadily increases Bangladesh through intensified livestock production to fulfill demand animal-source protein, risk pathogenic Campylobacter transmission likely increase humans animals including farm environment. The objective this study was confirm pathways estimate likelihood entry exposure risks for holdings....
We explored the impact of different diets on growth and health newly hatched chicks. Our experiment involved four groups that are consisting 2 chicks, each group receiving unique diet: Pearl Millet, Millet whole wheat bread, apple commercial chicks’ feed. Over a seven-day period, we clearly monitored chick’s progress thoroughly observed prominent change in their weight gain during period research. findings revealed fed Whole bread Apple experienced one mortality each, while chicks feed...
Poultry origin Campylobacter is considered as one of the leading causal agents human foodborne illness. This study was conducted to estimate occurrence, molecular identification, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) species from broiler farms in Bangladesh. Samples (352) were collected 32 comprised 128 cloacal swab, 64 feed, drinking water, attendants' hand rinsed whole carcasses. All samples tested for presence via cultural, biochemical, PCR. The AMR determined disc diffusion method. An...
BackgroundIn Bangladesh, the zoonotic transmission of anthrax from animals to humans poses substantial challenges for prevention and control programs, especially in resource-constrained settings. A comprehensive literature review was conducted focusing on infections animals, humans, environment enable better design strategies.Materials methodsWe followed PRISMA guidelines collect data infection reports between 1980 January 2023. We used a standardized extraction template study location,...
The objective of the study was to explore outbreak situation in terms animal, place, and time towards minimizing risk animal infection at source future subsequent spillover human endemic rural settings.An investigation team from Department Livestock Services visited each sites event strengthening control program future. Meat samples infected slaughtered animals were collected confirm causal agent using polychrome methylene blue microscopic examination technique. Participatory epidemiology...
The aim of this study was to identify and characterize Salmonella species isolated from poultry value chains Gazipur Tangail districts Bangladesh during the period October 2015 May 2016. For purpose a total 153 samples (35 chick meconium, 49 cloacal swab, 30 carcass, 14 feed, 16 water, 7 transport 2 floor swab) were collected subjected various cultural, biochemical techniques polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Furthermore, characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Among samples,...
The overuse of antibiotics, chemicals and as well lack farm biosecurity good hygiene practices in poultry production are considered to be contributors for occurring foodborne illness many significant public health threats reported both developed developing countries nowadays. Considering the above, a piloted food safety activity was implemented jointly by Department Livestock Services FAO-Food Safety program, Bangladesh twenty-five selected (broiler) dense subdistricts country. Good...
The experiment was conducted to compare the growth performance among four genotypes of indigenous chicken namely Non-descriptive Native (ND), genetically Improved (IN), Hilly (HC) and Naked Neck (NN) Bangladesh under free-range rearing system. A total 288 day old chicks (DOC) from were divided into treatments having eight replications each for a period 12 weeks system with supplementation commercial broiler diet. During first 4 weeks, all kept together, whereas ND brooded in same room but...
A case-control study was conducted in Chuadanga district of Bangladesh to investigate risk factors for Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) that occurred during November-December 2014 goat farms. total 37 farms were reported be PPR cases based on active and passive surveillance from 4 villages Sadar Damurhuda sub-districts. Fifty-five control-farms selected the same villages. Farmers both case control interviewed using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire data collection potential...
A descriptive study was conducted using secondary surveillance data of animal anthrax from the Epidemiology Unit Department Livestock Services (DLS) for years 2010, 2011 and 2012. The objectives this were to describe pattern in Sirajgong district Bangladesh 2010 2012 assess current use vaccine (Vaccine Coverage) based on animal, time place. found that disease more prevalent at beginning early monsoon (Month May, June when flood water enters) late September, October, recedes). Cattle...
The investigation was conducted to determine the persistence of maternally derived antibody as well its influence on vaccination programme against fowl pox infection. A total 60-day-old chicks divided into four groups such A, B, C, D. Chicks Group and B were used for detection which are originated from virus-vaccinated non-vaccinated parent stock respectively. For level after with live pigeon virus vaccine following two schedules, group C D subdivided C1, C2 D1, D2 originating vaccinated...

An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of oat meal as a source dietary fiber formulate enriched broiler nugget. For this purpose, nuggets were prepared into four different groups such treatment 1: 10% wheat flour nugget, 2: 20% 3:10% nugget and 4: Oat All parameters analyzed at 0, 15th 30th days storage period. The proximate composition batter highly significant differences found in dry matter (%) pH. Dry lower, while pH higher control (Treatment 1). Significant crude protein...
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of drying, curing and freezing on quality cattle goat meat collected designed as. Cattle samples were: dried with salt (M1), without (M2), (M3), (M4), cured (M5), sugar (M6), (M7), (M8), frozen (M9), (M10), (M11) (M12) analyze every 30 days interval up period 120 days. Chemical constituents (dry matter, protein, ash fat) decreased gradually increasing storage time, but dry matter increased during period. initial ash, protein fat contents (M1,...

Campylobacter is a prevalent zoonotic bacterial pathogen found in various food animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry. The increasing production of crossbred cattle Bangladesh aimed at meeting the demand for animal protein. However, this trend also poses public health risks associated with emergence cattle-specific Campylobacter. It probable that there an increased probability transmission pathogenic among humans animals, well within farm environment. Nevertheless, it has been...
