Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM

The primary domestic animal in Somali communities is the goat. Their main economic importance is as a food source and a main form of agriculture in the country. There has been a recent decline in the goat population in Somalia, which may be due to the shortage of feed and an increasingly contaminated environment that is affecting the population's food supply and nutritional status. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and the factors associated with indigestible foreign bodies (IFBs) ingestion in goats in Mogadishu, Somalia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Somalia Meat Company in Mogadishu, Somalia, in February 2022. A total of 250 goats were included in this study, and records were kept on age, sex, body condition, and location. Following the slaughter, goats were inspected for IFBs, and their stomach compartments were incised and examined. Indigestible foreign body classifications was noted and subjected to analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26.0.

RESULTS

A total of 90/250 (36%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 30.1-42.3) goats presented IFBs, being 71/90 (79%; 95% CI: 69-87) in the rumen, 12/90 (13%; 95% CI: 7-22) in the reticulum, and seven/90 (8%; 95% CI: 3-15) on both. The most observed IFBs were plastic in 71/90 (79%; 95% CI: 69-87), followed by ropes in eight/90 (10%; 95% CI: 5-18). A high IFB prevalence was observed in goats aged >2-≤3 years (44%), followed by >3 years (36%). The lowest frequency was observed in goats aged <2 years (30%). Overall, there was an association between IFBs in goats and poor body conditions (χ = 47%, p < 0.04).

CONCLUSION

The absence of a plastic waste disposal system in the area, and communal free-grazing of livestock in highly contaminated sites, appeared to be significant contributors to the high occurrence of IFBs in goats. Therefore, appropriate policies for solid waste management should be implemented.

摘要

背景与目的

索马里社区的主要家畜是山羊。其主要经济重要性在于作为食物来源以及该国农业的一种主要形式。索马里的山羊数量近期有所下降，这可能是由于饲料短缺以及环境日益受到污染，影响了人们的食物供应和营养状况。本研究旨在估计索马里摩加迪沙山羊摄入难消化异物（IFB）的患病率及其相关因素。

材料与方法

2022年2月在索马里摩加迪沙的索马里肉类公司开展了一项横断面研究。本研究共纳入250只山羊，并记录其年龄、性别、身体状况和位置。屠宰后，检查山羊是否有IFB，并切开其胃腔进行检查。记录难消化异物的分类，并使用社会科学统计软件包第26.0版进行分析。

结果

共有90/250只（36%；95%置信区间[CI]：30.1 - 42.3）山羊出现IFB，其中瘤胃中有71/90只（79%；95%CI：69 - 87），网胃中有12/90只（13%；95%CI：7 - 22），两者皆有的有7/90只（8%；95%CI：3 - 15）。最常观察到的IFB是塑料，有71/90只（79%；95%CI：69 - 87），其次是绳索，有8/90只（10%；95%CI：5 - 18）。在年龄>2至≤3岁的山羊中观察到较高的IFB患病率（44%），其次是>3岁的山羊（36%）。在年龄<2岁的山羊中观察到的频率最低（30%）。总体而言，山羊中的IFB与身体状况不佳之间存在关联（χ = 47%，p < 0.04）。
