abstract
The present study was undertaken for a period of 10 months i.e. between July 2017 and April 2018 to know the prevalence of sarcoptic mange in and around Jabalpur. Out of 684 cattle screened from various organized and unorganized sectors in and around Jabalpur, 112 cattle were showing signs of dermatological disorders and were selected for further study. Confirmation of sarcoptic mange was done by microscopic detection of Sarcoptes scabiei mite in the skin scraping. The overall prevalence of sarcoptic mange in cattle was found to be 4.5% and among dermatological disorders it was 27.67%. The age wise prevalence of sarcoptic mange was non significantly highest in age group of 0-6 months (28.23%). Gender wise prevalence was non significantly higher in female cattle (28.57%). Therefore, the present study confirms the presence of sarcoptic mange in cattle in and around Jabalpur. Although no significant correlation was observed in the age wise and gender wise prevalence.
