The primary objective of this study was to prepare the skeletons of rabbit and goose by rapid, economic and efficient method. Total 10 (5 rabbits and 5pink-footed goose) matured rabbits (<em>Oryctolagus cuniculus</em>) and pink-footed geese (<em>Anser brachyrhynchus</em>) were used. At first, the killed animals were skinned and defleshed with the help of scalpel and boiled in 3% solution of soda water for 1 hour. After cooling, the bony samples were cleaned and dipped into 10% solution of bleaching water for 2 hours and then were washed in tap water. Finally, the bony segments were articulated for rising into skeleton after complete sundry. The whole processes were taken a day (15-20 hours).This method is very effective because there is no chance of losing small bones, requires less expenditure, time and labour. It is also mentionable that the original color of the bone can be maintained and the visceral organs can be used for other studies.

An experiment on in vivo effects of tobacco smoking injury to trachea in mice model was carried out at the Department of Anatomy and Histology, Bangladesh Agricultural University during July 2012 to January 2014 to investigate the harmful effects of smoking on trachea of mice. Fifteen white Swiss Albino (Mus muculus) male mice (collected from ICDDRB) at 42 days were grouped (each of which has 5 mice) as control group (C), cigarette fume treated group (CF) and cigarette root treated group (CR). Control group was under normal food and water, for fume treated group (CF); fume of 5 cigarettes were given for 5 minutes 3 times daily at one hour interval and five cigarette roots were mixed with half liter water and supplied ad libitum to root treated group (CR). Both these two groups were supplied with normal feed and water ad libitum. Total experimental tenure was 4 weeks. After 4 weeks all mice were killed and samples were collected from various systems of the body and were preserved, processed for slides and stained (H and E) for histo-pathological investigation. All parameters are normal in control animals. Shape and color change were found in the trachea of fume and root treated groups. The weight, length and width of trachea were reduced. Histo morphological changes such as epithelial degeneration in the upper airway like trachea were found in all treated groups. The mucosal lining of trachea was severely affected in all treated groups. The important changes are erosions and desquamations of epithelial cells as well as loss of mucosal lining, Shortening and amalgamation with loss of cilia, an increase in number of goblet cells with their active secretion were found. Lymphocytic infiltration was also noted in this study.

Background: Parasitic disease constitutes 60-70% diseases affecting the animals and has serious economic implication in livestock entrepreneurship by direct and indirect production loss. Indiscriminate use of anthelmintic drugs has made the situation even more precarious. A similar problem was encountered in goat from Holidhani, Jhenidah, where goats with complain of intermittent diarrhea and loss of body condition was reported despite of routine deworming. Objective: Determining the efficacy of conventional anthelmintics used and its comparison with some unexploited antiparasitic drugs for the same reason. Methods: Sixty-five goats were divided into five groups. Group A goats were kept as the control, Group B (I, II, III), group C (IV, V, VI), group D (VII, VIII, IX) and group E (X, XI, XII) goats were treated with levamisole, albendazole, fenbendazole and ivermectin respectively. All the treated and control goats were kept, housed for 21 days after the first treatment. Fecal sampl...

Accepted 13 Jan 2017 Online release 31 Jan 2017 An experiment on pathological investigation of diseases with emphasis on infectious bursal disease in Sonali cross bred at joypurhat district of Bangladesh was carried out from January, 2013 to June, 2013. A total of 294 dead birds were collected from different Sonali farms and history, clinical signs, characteristic gross morbid lesions and histopathological study were done. The highest proportional incidence of the disease in Sonali was recorded (25.51%) for infectious bursal disease (IBD) followed by Coccidiosis (21.09%), Newcastle Disease (19.39%), Colibacillosis (15.31%), Salmonellosis (8.5%), Fowl pox (5.10%), miscellaneous disease conditions (2.04%), Deficiency Disorders (1.36%), Aspergillosis (1.02%) and Aflatoxicosis (0.68%). The findings indicate that infectious bursal disease (IBD) was the major disease problem in Sonali farming at Joypurhat. . Keyword

A macro anatomic study was undertaken to compare the forelimb bones of predominant Black Bengal Goat (BBG) and Indigenous Dog in Bangladesh by means of visual observation. Twelve matured (6 BBGs and 6 dogs) male animals were sacrificed ethically to prepare the skeleton without any destruction. The observation revealed that the scapular spine unequally divided the lateral surface in BBG whereas it divided the lateral surface into two equal halves in dog. The tuber scapulae of dog was blunt but slender in BBG. On the other hand coracoid process was absent in dog. Acromion process was short, blunt and extended up to the level of glenoid cavity but in case of BBG it does not reach to the glenoid cavity. The humerus of dog was comparatively longer, less twisted, round head and more convex. A large supratrochlear foramen at the distal end of the humerus was present in dog but absent in BBG. Radius and ulna appeared as two separate bones in dog but fused in BBG where the interosseous space...
