Dr. Nirmal Kumar Tudu, Dr. Krishna Kishor Goswami

Abstract :

The present study was conducted in Nadia district of West Bengal during January, 2010 to December, 2013 with the specific objective to study on season wise disease incidence and mortality pattern of the Bengal goats under village conditions in Nadia district of West Bengal. The overall disease incidence of pre–weaning kids during pre–weaning stage was found to be 46.15%. The overall mortality pattern of pre–weaning kids during preweaning stage was found to be 9.71%. The overall disease incidence of adult Bengal goats was found to be 10.43%. The overall mortality pattern of adult Bengal goats was found to be 3.03%. Season wise incidence of stillbirth of Bengal goats during summer, monsoon and winter were 12.87%, 10.11% and 6.49% respectively. Mortality due to various diseases in pre–weaning kids and adults could be minimized by identifying the cause and giving proper treatment.
