Research On The Forestry Stocking Cows Diseases And Prevention Methods In Henan Province Plain Areas

In recent years, as a critical part of the middle China beef cattle industryzone, beef cattle raising industry has developed quickly. Henan province hasthe country’s largest number of beef cattle and beef production. To keep thequick development of this industry in Henan province, cows health is one ofthe most important parts. So far the health issues faced by cows include thedecreasing of the stocking number of female cattle, low productivity, and poorraising management.This research focused on20raising zones (belong to Inner MongoliaKhorchin Cattle Industry Stock Limited Company) of in Minquan county,Henan province, and carried out epidemiological studies to understand thedisease happened in cows. According to the data analysis, and survey results,disease control and prevention strategies were provided.1The investigation of cow diseases situation and prevention programsAccording to the epidemiological investigation, the morbidity ofinfectious diseases in20farms was11%and the mortality was2%. Parasitesinfection rate was as high as78.24%, and the mortality was2%. The morbidityand mortality caused by the other diseases were85.4%and14.5%respectively.The research found that poor management situations can result in more diseaseshappening. It is suggested that the improvement of management situation iscritical to the industry.2The investigation of cows obstetric diseases and preventionprogramsThe research result showed that406(6.27%) cows suffered from obstetricdisease. Obstetric diseases of these cows include retention of the placenta(11.3%), endometritis (6.16%), uterine prolapse (4.43%), abortion (14.53%),stillbirth (4.68%), birth of weak calf (6.67%), infertility (39.16%) and dystocia(13.05%). The causations of obstetric diseases include poor husbandry,reproductive organ diseases and improper manual operation. The research found that there were associations among these three causations.Recommendations were provided after the study.3The investigation of cows intestinal parasites and preventionprogramsThe study investigated the species and distribution of intestinal parasites,and also the risk level. These indicators provided the clinical theoreticalevidences and references for the prevention and treatment of the cattle parasitediseases. Before the treatment,216fresh feces samples were collected.Laboratory test result showed that169positive samples, and5species ofintestinal parasite were detected. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was78.24%. The infection rates of Coccidia, nematodes, Cryptosporidium,Trichuris trichiura and tapeworm were were50.89%,31.36%,14.79%,9.47%and8.28%.17samples from the5species of intestinal parasite were severemixed infection.After deworming treatment,84fresh fecal samples were collected and21of them were positive. The prevalence decreased to25%. The positive rates ofcoccidia, nematodes, Cryptosporidium, whipworm, and tapeworm were14.10%,4.76%,3.57%,1.19%and2.38%respectively. After treatment, nomixed infections was found in the fecal samples. The research on the seasonalpattern of the parasites showed that there was a higher prevalence of parasitesin summer and autumn than in winter and spring. The infection of the intestinalparasitic in cattle were more common. Thus, measures for the control andprevention needed to be strengthened. The appropriate medication should beselected to deworm regularly in order to reduce the prevalence and hazards ofparasites.
