The present observation was recorded at
National Research Centre on Mithun, Jharnapani from May
2010 to September 2012. A total of 15 mithun calves,
which died in and around Jharnapani, were attended and
detailed post-mortem examination was carried out. Out of
these, five calves (33.33 %) aging between 1 and 1.5 years
exhibiting the condition of chronic wasting and diarrhoea
were found positive for pimply gut condition based on
gross and microscopic examination. Post-mortem examination
revealed extensive nodule formation on the wall of
the rectum; however, the entire lumen did not reveal any of
adult parasites. In all the cases, there were congestion in the
mucous layer and thickening of the intestinal wall. Histopathological
examination revealed chronic enteritis with
mononuclear cell infiltration comprising mostly of macrophages,
lymphocytes and eosinophils. In the muscularis
mucosae, encysted larvae were found along with fibrous
tissue proliferation. These lesions gave the intestine a
nodular appearance as they thickened the wall and projected
from the serosal surface. These extensive numbers of
nodules in the intestine might have interfered with peristalsis
and intestinal absorption which led to chronic
wasting and diarrhoea in the calves.
