Abstract
The aim of this study; To determine the prevalence of E.coli K-99, Coronavirus, Rotavirus, Cryptosporidium and Giardia lamblia agents that play a role in the etiology of diarrhea in 0-28 day old calves brought to Kırıkkale University Animal Hospital with the complaint of neonatal diarrhea. The material of the study consisted of 80 80 calves brought to our hospital from Kırıkkale and surrounding provinces. When the distribution of the calves according to the provinces they were brought to; It was determined that 38 of them were brought from Kırıkkale, 17 from Ankara, 11 from Kırşehir, 7 from Çankırı, 5 from Yozgat and 2 from Çorum. 60 of the calves were Simmental, 12 of them were Holstein, 7 of them were Montofon and 1 of them were Limousine and consisted of 52 male and 28 female individuals. For stool analysis, tests were performed for Rotavirus, Coronavirus, Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia and E.coli K-99 with an immunochromatographic ready-made diagnostic kit. No enteropathogen was found in 10 of 80 calves with neonatal diarrhea complaint included in the study. Of the remaining 70 calves, only one enteropathogen was detected in 51 and more than one enteropathogen in 19 of them. E.coli K-99 in 18, Rotavirus in 24, Coronavirus in 34, Cryptosporidium in 18 and Giardia lamblia in 3 were detected as mono or mixed infections in the etiology of the calves included in the study. As a result, it was determined that E.coli K-99, Rotavirus, Coronavirus and Cryptosporidium agents are common in neonatal calf diarrhea encountered in Kırıkkale and its surroundings, and it was concluded that it would be beneficial to plan protection-treatment protocols against neonatal calf diarrhea for these factors.
Özet
Bu çalışmanın amacı; Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Hayvan Hastanesine neonatal ishal şikayetiyle getirilen 0-28 günlük yaştaki buzağıların ishal etiyolojisinde rol oynayan E.coli K-99, Coronavirüs, Rotavirüs, Cryptosporidium ve Giardia lamblia enteropatojenlerinin yaygınlığını tespit etmektir. Çalışmanın materyalini Kırıkkale ve çevre illerden hastanemize getirilen 80 80 adet buzağı oluşturmuştur. Buzağıların getirildikleri illere göre dağılımı yapıldığında; 38’inin Kırıkkale, 17’sinin Ankara, 11’inin Kırşehir, 7’sinin Çankırı, 5’inin Yozgat ve 2’sinin Çorum’dan getirildiği belirlenmiştir. Buzağıların 60’ı Simental, 12’si Holstein, 7’si Montofon ve 1’i Limuzin ırkı olup, 52’si erkek, 28’i dişi bireylerden oluşmuştur. Dışkı analizi için Rotavirüs, Coronavirüs, Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia ve E.coli K-99 enteropatojenleri immunokromatografik hazır tanı kiti kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Çalışmaya alınan neonatal ishalli 80 buzağıdan 10’unda araştılan herhangi bir enteropatojene rastlanılmamıştır. Kalan 70 buzağıdan 51’inde tek enteropatojen, 19’unda ise birden fazla enteropatojen tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmaya alınan buzağıların etiyolojisinde mono ya da miks enfeksiyon olarak 18’inde E.coli K-99, 24’ünde Rotavirüs, 34’ünde Coronavirüs, 18’inde Cryptosporidium ve 3’ünde ise Giardia lamblia tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak Kırıkkale ve çevresinde karşılaşılan neonatal buzağı ishallerinde E.coli K-99, Rotavirüs, Coronavirüs ve Cryptosporidium etkenlerinin yaygın olduğu belirlenmiş ve neonatal buzağı ishallerine karşı oluşturulacak koruma-tedavi protokollerinin bu etkenlere yönelik planlanmasının faydalı olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
