Hundred diarrhoeic kids' faecal samples were examined of which 64% and 98% kids are affected with parasites and bacteria respectively. Around 59.7% and 61.22% had single, 31.34% and 37.76% had dual and only 4.48% and 1.02% had triple concurrent infection respectively in parasite and bacteria associated diarrhoeic kids. Analysis of the results of bacterio-parasitic enteropathogens revealed that highest percentage (64%) kids were infected with concurrent parasitic and bacterial infection but the faecal samples of four diarrhoeic kids showed negative for both bacteria and parasitic infections. Highest of gastro-intestinal nematodes (GIN) infection (48%) was recorded in kids followed by Eimeria sp. (27%), Toxocara vitulorum (14%) and lowest (1%) with each of the Strongyloides sp., Paramphistomum sp. and Moniezia sp. The clinical Toxocara vitulorum infection first recorded at the first of 15 days, GIN at 30 days, Strongyloides sp. at 45 days, Paramphistomum sp. at 150 days and Eimeria sp. infection at 25 days. Similarly, the rate of Bacillus infection (87%), was found highest followed by Escherichia coli (37%), Staphylococcus (9%), and lowest of Salmonella (5%) infection. Although Bacillus and E. coli recorded first time at 10 days and Staphylococcus at 30 days of age but Salmonella was recorded at the age of 60. A characteristic age specific prevalence of both parasitic and bacterial enteropathogens was observed and it was found that the severity of infection was increasing with age for both parasitic and bacterial infection and the ratio of all the infections were almost similar.
Kid diseases were investigated on 240 sick kids of small holder farm during two years period from June 2002 to May 2004 of which 76 (31.67%) kids died during research period. Higher mortality rate was recorded in male (16.28%) than female (13.00%) under farm condition, though the difference was not statistically significant. Both the morbidity (42.17%) and mortality (18.29%) rates in kids aged between 0 to 30 days old were found to be significantly (P<0.01) higher in comparison to age between 31 to 90 days (morbidity 31.81% and mortality 13.64%) and aged between 91 to 180 days (morbidity 26.02% and mortality 10.19%). It may be concluded from this result that in avenging condition a farmer should give special attention to the kid from birth to 3 month of age. Although the morbidity range was found to be significantly (p<0.01) higher during rainy (72.37%) in comparison to winter (52.40%) and summer (41.50%) seasons but the mortality rate was found higher during summer (18.03%), followed by winter (13.70%) and lowest during rainy (10.12%) season. It was also observed that 58.25% kids maintained under rural conditions are deprived from first colostrum due to ignorance, which necessitates the veterinary extension services to the rural small holder traditional goat farmer. 14 types of kid diseases were diagnosed at Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute Goat Farm and ten types at the small holder farms and their epidemiological different pattern of occurrence were analyzed and discussed.
