Effect of housing on incidence of diseases in crossbred Karan Swiss and Karan Fries calves

摘要

The incidence of diseases in case of cross bred calves during entire length of experimental period of six months was studied with respect to housing systems. Housing wise comparison revealed that in case of calves in H2 the number of calves affectedby diseases, total number of episodes and total duration of treatment were lowest followed by the calves in H3 and highest in case of calves in H1. In case of crossbred calves kept under. H1 incidence of diarrhoea was more affecting 62.5 percent of thecalves. This was followed by naval ill and dysentry in this housing. Also the total number of episodes of dirarrhoea were also more followed by naval ill and dysentery, But the total durationof treatment of naval ill was observed to be more followed bydiarrhoea and dysentery. In case of calves in H2, incidence of dysentery was more but the total duration of episodes and total duration of treatment were very less. The analysis of variance revealed that housing system studied had highly significant effect of incidence of diseases (P<0.01).
