Abstract:
This study investigates the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in two cow farms in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, India. Environmental samples, including soil, water, feed, and feces, were collected and analyzed for bacterial contamination and resistance patterns. Gram staining revealed a predominance of Gram-negative bacteria across most samples, with notable differences in the feed and diarrheal fecal samples between the farms. E. coli was detected in 66.7% of soil samples from Farm A, with a significant difference in water contamination levels between the two farms. ETEC was identified in 10% of the total samples, exclusively in diarrheal feces, with a higher prevalence in Farm B. The antibiotic resistance analysis revealed varying efficacy of Amoxicillin and Gentamicin against the ETEC strains. Seasonal variations were observed, with higher ETEC concentrations during the rainy season. The findings underscore the need for improved farm management practices, particularly in feed and water hygiene, to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination and the spread of pathogenic E. coli. This study highlights the importance of regular monitoring and the implementation of stringent hygiene measures in livestock farms to safeguard both animal and human health.
