Goat farming in Bangladesh is primarily centred on indigenous Black Bengal goat, a highly prolific breed. Searching for genetic markers associated with prolificacy in this breed is vital for the country’s goat breeding industry. However, there are no reports on polymorphisms associated with the fert...

The aim of this longitudinal study was to verify the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in cattle reared on Bathan and intensive farming system in Bangladesh. Fecal materials originated from recto anal junction (RAJ) of 100 cattle used for primary screenin...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: (STEC) has emerged as significant foodborne pathogens. Ruminants are the primary reservoir of the zoonotic STEC. In Bangladesh, previous studies reported the presence of STEC in cattle, goat, and sheep; however, there is little information about STEC carriage by buffaloes. This s...

Polymorphisms in growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) genes have been found to be associated with litter size in goats across the globe. Our previous study detected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GDF9 and BMP15 genes associated with litter size ...

A cross-sectional survey was carried out in Bangladesh with the sampling of 514 Black Bengal goats on smallholdings to determine the presence of sorbitol non-fermenting (SNF) Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Swab samples collected from the recto-anal junction were plated onto cefixime and potas...

Abstract Background Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are zoonotic foodborne pathogens and a significant concern with the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Close human contact might have a higher chance of being transmitted to humans from sheep if the sheep population is a potential re...

The study was conducted to estimate the genetic parameters of Holstein crossbred dairy cows in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Study population consisted of animals from three genetic backgrounds: i) 50% Holstein × 50% Local (H × L); ii) 50% Holstein × 50% Shahiwal (H × SL); and iii) 25% Holstein × 25% Shah...

A crossbreeding experiment between Hilly, a locally adapted chicken type in Bangladesh and Fayoumi, an egg type light chicken breed was carried out to evaluate phenotypic performances and to estimate genetic parameters for body weight and egg production at sexual maturity. Results show the mean hatc...

Abstract Detection of genome-wide genetic variation is one of the primary goals in bovine genomics. Genomes of several cattle breeds have been sequenced so far to understand the genetic variation associated with important phenotypes. Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) is a locally adopted and disease-resis...

Abstract Identification of prolificacy associated genetic markers remains vital in goat breeding industry since an increase in litter size can generate significant profit. Black Bengal is a prolific goat breed in Bangladesh. There are no inland reports on polymorphisms associated with fertility of B...

OBJECTIVES: The Bengal tiger Panthera tigris tigris, is an emblematic animal for Bangladesh. Despite being the apex predator in the wild, their number is decreasing due to anthropogenic activities such as hunting, urbanization, expansion of agriculture and deforestation. By contrast, captive tigers ...

Inappropriate antimicrobial treatment can pose a risk for developing resistance against antimi-crobial drugs in bacteria. Close human contact might have a higher chance of being transmitted to humans from sheep if the sheep population is a potential reservoir of zoonotic pathogens such as shiga toxi...

ABSTRACT Enterobacter bugandensis ( E. bugandensis ) is a virulent organism, commonly associated with severe, life-threatening infections in neonates. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of multidrug-resistant E. bugandensis strains from African grey parrots in Bangladesh. These provide insig...

ABSTRACT Household pigeons are a potential source of multidrug-resistant ( Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and act as a transmission vehicle of this bacterium to humans. Here, we characterized the antimicrobial resistance profile and molecular properties of the whole genome sequences of six E. coli str...
