Surgical affections of camels lead to production losses. The study was conducted from October 2018 to October 2019 in different farms belonging to Public authority for agriculture affairs and fish resources – Kuwait City, Kuwait in order to investigate surgical affection in camel. In this study we recorded 212 cases of common of surgical affections in camels. The incidence of recorded affections included: mandibular fracture 10.3%, cut tooth 8.4%, wound 8%, foreign body 7.5%, tumour 7.5%, dulaa inflammation 7%, uterus prolapse 5.6%, chronic mastitis 5.6%, metatarsus fracture 5.6%, dystocia 5.1%, deviation of the premaxilla and the nasal septum (wry face) 4.7%, rectal prolapsed 4.2%, lateral retropharyngeal lymph node abscess 2.8%, narrow valve 2.8%, umbilical hernia 2.8%, radius fracture 2.3%, femur fracture 2.3%, metatarsus fracture 1.8%, fetlock fracture1.8%, fetlock joint laxation 0.09%, rupture of the perineum 0.04%, intestines prolapsed 0.04%. In addition, the infection rate of females (66.6%) was higher than that of males (41%).

The On-Farm (farmer’s field) experiment was conducted in jackfruit orchard where the age of the trees ranged from 10-25 years with local and unknown varieties during the period from September 2011 to January 2014 in Narsingdi district which is an ideal location of central terrace ecosystem of Bangladesh to know the productivity and profitability of papaya under jackfruit based multistoried agroforestry system. The earlier established jackfruit orchard was transformed to multistoried agroforestry system. Jackfruit trees were considered as upperstoried crop; papaya was established as middlestoried crop; and seasonal vegetables were grown as lowerstoried crops. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Each jackfruit tree was considered as a unit plot for a single replication. There were five treatments covering agroforestry (four orientations) and traditional farming (open field). At middlestorey light availability on papaya was 55.53%. Vegetative growth in terms of plant height, plant stem diameter and SPAD value and yield of papaya were higher in open condition (control). Among different orientations under jackfruit tree, growth and yield of papaya were better at south orientation and poor at north orientation in both the year. Soil moisture was higher in agroforestry system than control treatment but soil temperature was higher in control treatment than agroforestry system. The overall yield in multistoried agroforestry system was increased remarkably. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) for jackfruit-papaya based multistoried agroforestry system was 3.64 and 4.80 in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The land equivalent ration (LER) for jackfruit-papaya based multistoried agroforestry system was 1.76 and 1.78 in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Findings showed that farm productivity and profitability have been increased significantly that might have positive opportunity of employment and income generation and ultimately to the livelihood of the farmers living in terrace ecosystem.

A field experiment was conducted at Central Research Farm, Maona, Shreepur, Gazipur of Advanced Chemical Industries (ACI) Limited, Bangladesh during Aus season 2016 to evaluate the efficacy of controlled release compound fertilizer as a slow released Nitrogen fertilizer for crop production. Two types of NPK compound fertilizer viz. 28-6-7 and 22-8-12 were compared with the straight and ACI mixed fertilizer in this study. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications. The individual plot-size was 5m x 4m. Six treatments were included in this study. Results revealed that the tested slow release controlled compound fertilizer NPK (22-8-12), which was used once as basal, produced the similar level of grain yield with our traditional use of fertilizers. The Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of 20.36 was obtained with T₆= N-P-K-S@ 63-10-29-10 kg/ha (tested material), which was superior to T₄= N-P-K-S@ 60-10-30-10 kg/ha (traditional practice) (17.30).

The study has been purposed to investigate the utilization of milk for consumption of fluid milk and milk products, the distributive pattern, consumer’s preference of Adarsha Sadar, Cumilla in Bangladesh. The study was based on milk and milk by-products and data were collected from dairy farms and sweetmeat shops by direct interview. Herd size of dairy farms were small (33.33%), medium (41.67%), and large (25%). Shopkeepers of different sweetmeat shops received raw milk from dairy farms 57.14%, milk suppliers 42.86% and highest amount of whole milk is required in per unit production of rashmalai 30% and rashgalla 18% and lowest yogurt 9%. Various festivals and other educational results increased the sale of milk and milk products; specially rashmalai and rashgalla. The study revealed that Adarsha SadarUpazilla, Cumilla can be a profitable place for dairy farming and selling their by-products.

Political participation of women in Bangladesh has increased both at the local and national levels. The meaningful participation of women in national parliament has become an important focus on the democratic development and the range of country’s policy issues. In this regard, the participation of women in politics is a very crucial issue through which they can play an important role in decision making as people’s representatives. At present, the participation of women in the politics especially in national parliament of Bangladesh is being increased. This paper is based on the review of secondary documents. Using content analysis based on qualitative methods, this study examines the status of women’s participation in politics as well as investigates the changing trends, the reasons behind increasing or decreasing trends. Examining the status of women’s participation since independence till the last election, study shows the increasing trends of participation of women in the national parliament in the context of Bangladesh.

The study was conducted at Jhenidah Sadar Upazilla in Jhenidah district during the period of One month (December, 2019) to determine the Impact of biosecurity on poultry production associated infectious diseases. A total 42 farms were investigated during the study where 78.57% were broiler farms and 21.43% were sonali farms. Out of 42 farms, about 50% farms were medium scaled (>1000) in size and 30.95% farms were located within residence. Visitor’s entrance restriction was presence only 30.95% farms and vehicles entrance restriction were in 38.10% farms. Dedicated boots for workers were absence in 61.90% farms and total absence of footbath on farms entrance gate in the study area. Surrounding fences were presence in 64.29% studied farms. The present baseline investigation shows a clear status of the level of poor biosecurity practices among the small and medium scale poultry farms of the study area. The findings of this study would help designing a practicable biosecurity model for the small and medium scale poultry farms of Bangladesh.

Microsporidian and Gregarine are zoonotic parasites have emerged as a serious pathogen reported to be associated with retarded growth in cultured shrimp in many of the shrimp growing countries in Asia. This study investigated shrimp for the occurance of microsporidian and gregarine parasites in Bangladesh using light microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this study a total of 50 black tiger (Baghda) shrimp (Paenus monodon) and 40 local shrimp (Prawn small, Deshi Chingri) were collected from Sathkhira and Mymensingh districts respectively. Baghda shrimp reared in river in Sathkhira (Shymnagar Upazila) and small prawn from beal and river of Gouripur upazila of Mymentsingh district. Microsporidia was detected from squash preparation of hepatopancreas of shrimps using microscopy after Giemsa stain and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DNA extracted from hepatopancreas and guts were subjected to PCR amplification using primers targeting microsporidian and gregarine SSU rRNA and SSU rDNA genes, respectively. The PCR yielded an expected product of ~1100 bp and 1000 bp, respectively.  The microscopic examined revealed the oval shape microsporidian spores. The PCR product of expected band size confirms the presence of microsporidia in shrimp. None of the samples were positive for gregarines. This is the first report of identifying microsporidian parasite in shrimp from South-west region especially Satkhira and Mymensingh districts in Bangladesh.
