چکیده

هدف از این مطالعه، بررسی میزان وقوع، حذف، سقط، مرده‌زایی و کاهش وزن ناشی از بیماری تب برفکی و آثار متقابل آن ها در نوبت‌های زایش مختلف (یک و چند بار) در گاوهای شیری ایران بود. از تعداد 49400 رکورد از 20330 رأس گاو در بازه‌ ی زمانی 1388 تا 1398 در نه گاوداری صنعتی از استان های اصفهان، گلستان، فارس، خراسان جنوبی، خراسان رضوی و چهارمحال و بختیاری استفاده گردید. میزان وقوع و حذف ناشی از بروز بیماری با استفاده از رویه FREQ نرم‌افزار SAS، به طور میانگین به ترتیب 43 و 11 درصد محاسبه شد در حالی که میزان درگیری بین گلّه‌های مورد بررسی از 18 تا 59 درصد و حذف ناشی از بیماری از 1 تا 18 درصد متغیّر بود. برای مطالعه اثرات تب برفکی بر میزان وقوع سقط، مرده‌زایی و کاهش وزن و اثرات متقابل بین آن ها از رویه LOGISTIC استفاده شد. شانس وقوع بیماری، در فصول سرد در گاوهای نوبت زایش اوّل که دچار سقط جنین شده و نمره ی وضعیّت بدنی ضعیفی داشتند، افزایش یافت. گاوهای بیمار در مقایسه با گاوهای سالم، به طور میانگین 23 درصد کاهش نمره ی وضعیّت بدنی، 5 درصد افزایش در سقط و 4 درصد افزایش در مرده‌زایی نشان دادند. به طور معنی‌داری (001/0>P)، شانس وقوع سقط، مرده زایی و کاهش وزن دردام های نوبت زایش دوم به بالا که در گروه وضعیّت بدنی متوسّط و چاق قرار داشتند نسبت به دام های نوبت زایش اوّل با نمره ی وضعیّت بدنی مشابه، کمتر بود. نتایج این بررسی می‌تواند در تجزیه و تحلیل راه کارهای مدیریّتی برای کنترل و پیشگیری از بیماری تب برفکی مفید باشد.

چکیده [English]

The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, cull, abortion, stillbirth and weight loss due to Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak and their interaction in different parity (primiparous and multiparous) in Iranian dairy cows. A total of 49,400 records of 20,330 cows were used in the period of 2009 to 2019, which were prepared from nine industrial dairy farms in Isfahan, Golestan, Fars, South Khorasan, Khorasan Razavi and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces. The incidence and mortality of FMD with FREQ procedure were estimated to be 43% and 11%, respectively and within herd incidence ranged from 18% to 59% and cull from 1 to 18%. The LOGISTIC procedure in SAS software was used to estimate the effects of FMD on the incidence of abortion, stillbirth, and weight loss and their interactions. The chance of occurrence the disease increased during the cold seasons in primiparous cows that had abortions and were in skinny BCS. Significant changes in the condition of affected cows compared to healthy cows showed an average of 23% decrease in BCS, 5% increase in abortion and 4% increase in stillbirth. Significantly, the chances of abortion, stillbirth and weight loss in multiparous cows in the normal and fatty BCS group were lower than in the primiparous cows with the same BCS group. In contrast, the chances of losing weight in multiparous cows which were in skinny BCS group, were higher than primiparous cows. The results of this study can be useful in analyzing management strategies to control and prevent FMD.

Extended Abstract

Introduction

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most important infectious diseases in the animal husbandry industry throughout the world. Recognizing the FMD and implementing preventive programs is one of the effective ways to control it. In Iran, the prevalence of FMD is higher in the cold months of the year, especially winter, but due to its endemic nature, it may also be observed in the hot seasons of the year. Serotypes and strains circulating in Iran include A, O, Asia1, AOIR and Opan. The prevalence rate in adult animals is reported to be between 2.5 - 44.2% and the mortality rate varies from 9.1 to 56.4%. In the young animals, the prevalence and mortality rates are estimated between 16.1 – 59.1% and 6.2 - 80%, respectively. The amount of weight loss in calves is about 3%, but in adult cows it is more than 7%. In the cases of FMD, the rate of abortion increased by 60%, and dystocia increased by 11% in affected animals.

 

  Materials and Methods

The data from 9 dairy farms were used between 2009 and 2019. This information included parity, date and type of calving, body condition score (BCS) as well as treatment and cull. The criteria for selecting the studied farms was the size and recording of accurate data related to the disease, and herds with more than 300 cows were included in the analysis. Records were edited by SQL Server 2012 software. The incidence of the disease was calculated based on the data recorded in the treatment file of farms. In order to edit the data, cows without lactation and the number of inoculations more than 10 were removed. In the final analysis, the effect of parity was divided into two levels and the BCS was divided into three categories. To estimate the rate of abortion and stillbirth due to FMD, records were limited to animals with complete health, production and reproduction information including calving date and treatment date. Ultimately, the data set included 49,400 records from 20,330 cows were analyzed. The frequency of FMD at the level of the investigated factors was calculated using the FREQ procedure in SAS software, while the LOGISTIC procedure based on the Chi-Square test was used to study the factors affecting the occurrence of FMD.

 

Results

The average incidence of FMD and associated cull rate were 43 and 11%, respectively, while they vary between 18-59% and 1-18% across studied farms. Compared to healthy cows, affected cows showed an average 23% decrease in BCS, 5% increase in abortion and 4% increase in stillbirths. The chance of abortion, stillbirth and weight loss in cows that were multiparous and were in the group of normal and fat BCS was lower than primiparous cows with a similar BCS, and on the contrary. The chance of weight loss in multiparous cows, which were in the skinny BCS, was higher than those of primiparous cows with the same BCS group.

 

Conclusion

In the cold seasons of the year, animals with skinny BCS that have had an abortion during their first calving increase the chance of getting involved in the disease and spreading it in the herd, therefore, vaccination programs on this group of animals can be helpful in disease prevention.
