Seroprevalence of Subclinical Paratuberculosis in Dairy Cattle in Manisa Region of Turkey

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the seroprevalence of subclinical paratuberculosis in dairy cattle in Manisa region of Turkey. Within this research, sampling was performed in a total of six districts including the central district of Manisa and 40 different cowsheds. The study material consisted of 442 clinically healthy multiparous Holstein dairy cattle. Live weights, the previous lactation milk yield, and age of the animals were recorded. Seroprevalence was determined by ELISA in the collected sera samples. The seroprevalence of the disease was found to be 13% in the central district of Manisa, 28% in Turgutlu, 20% in Alasehir, 38% in Kula, 26% in Akhisar, and 22% in Salihli. Infection was determined in all samples collected from all cowsheds. The results of the study revealed that seroprevalence of subclinical paratuberculosis in dairy cattle in Manisa region of Turkey was 21.72%.

Manisa Yöresi Süt Sığırlarında Subklinik Paratüberkülozun Seroprevalansı

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Manisa yöresi süt sığırlarında subklinik paratüberküloz seroprevalansını belirlemektir. Araştırma kapsamında, Manisa merkez ilçe dahil olmak üzere altı ilçede ve toplam 40 farklı ahırdan örnekleme gerçekleştirildi. Çalışma materyalini klinik olarak sağlıklı 442 multiparoz Holstein ırkı süt sığırı oluşturdu. Hayvanların canlı ağırlıkları, önceki laktasyon süt verimleri ve yaşları kaydedilmiştir. Seroprevelans, toplanan serum örneklerinde, ELISA metodu ile belirlendi. Hastalığın seroprevalansı Manisa merkez ilçede %13, Turgutlu'da %28, Alaşehir'de %20, Kula'da %38, Akhisar'da %26, ve Salihli'de %22 olarak belirlendi. Örnekleme yapılan tüm ahırlarda enfeksiyon varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları, Manisa yöresi süt sığırlarında subklinik paratüberküloz seroprevalansının %21.72 olduğunu ortaya koydu.
