Hatay bölgesinde yetiştirilen sığırlarda karşılaşılan göz problemlerinin insidanslarının araştırılması

Bu çalışmada Hatay yöresindeki sığırlarda rastlanan göz hastalıklarının insidansı araştırıldı. Bu amaçla değişik yaş, cinsiyet ve ırkta toplam 9967 sığır göz problemleri yönünden taramadan geçirildi. Bunlardan 1012’sine 14 farklı göz hastalığı tanısı konuldu. Saptanan göz problemlerinden; %27,57’sinin konjunktivitis, %20,16’sının keratitis, %12,15’sinin infeksiyöz bovine keratokonjunktivitis (IBK), %8,20’sinin kist dermoid, %6,72’sinin amorozis, %8,40’ının göz kapakları ile ilgili problemler, %4,64’ünün leucoma, %2,57’sinin buftalmus, %2.47’sinin kornea apsesi, %1.98’inin skleritis, %1.48’inin iris stafilomu, %1.38’inin ulkus kornea,%1,19’unun palpebra tersiya bezinin prolapsusu ve %1.08’inin gözde yabancı cisim olduğu görüldü. Sonuç olarak, mevcut parametrelerden göz problemlerinin bölgede yaygın olduğu ve özellikle konjunktivitis ve IBK gibi hastalıkların önemli ekonomik kayıplara neden olduğu görüldü.

For this purpose, a total of 9967 cattle of different ages, sexes and breeds underwent a survey pertaining ocular disorders and of these 1012 cattle presented 14 different ocular disorders. Of the determined disorders, 27.57% was defined as conjunctivitis, 20.16% keratitis, 12.15% infectious bovine keratoconjunktivitis (IBK), 8.20% kist dermoid, 6.72% amourosis, 8.40% eye lid related disorders, 4.64% leucoma, 2.57% buphthalmus, 2.47% corneal abscess, 1.98% scleritis, 1.48% iris staphyloma, 1.38% ulcus kornea, 1.19% prolapsus of the nictating gland and 1.08% ocular foreign bodies.
