Abstract

The study was conducted in government recognized and unorganised slaughter houses of sheep and goats in Jammu region from the month of July 2013 to June 2014. In the present study, 300 kidney samples of sheep (150) and goats (150) were collected from four (04) abattoirs for determining the prevalence of kidney affections. The prevalence of kidney affections in sheep and goats was found to be 18.00% and 14.67%, respectively with overall prevalence of 16.33%. However, sheep were found to be more infected as compared to the goats. Female sheep and goats were more infected as compared to the male sheep and goats. Adults animals more than 25 month age were more infected with kidney diseases as compared with the young animal of 6-12 month age and 13-24 month of age. The month wise prevalence of kidney diseases irrespective of species revealed highest i.e. 40% in the month of June while the least prevalence i.e. 12% was observed in the months of September, October, November, December, January and March. Season wise prevalence of kidney diseases irrespective of species revealed highest 19% during summer season followed by 18.67% in monsoon season, 13.33% in winter and 12% in post-monsoon season. The highest incidence of occurrence of renal infarction was found to be 28.57% followed by nephritis 26.53%, renal haemorrhages 20.40%, renal amyloidosis 14.28% and hydronephrosis 10.20%.
