Abstract

Diseases involving small ruminants which are populated by domesticated goats and sheep can be due to infectious or non-infectious causes. Till date, there is lack of analyses on the small ruminant studies that were embarked for the past 15 years involving Final Year Projects (FYP) by Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduates from 2 Veterinary Faculties (UPM & UMK) in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to identify and analyse the trends of infectious and non-infectious caused disease studies involving small ruminant livestock that was carried out in DVM FYP projects, and to determine the focal studies at different geographical settings (UPM and UMK). Information was obtained from the FYP thesis where infectious and non-infectious diseases in small ruminants were selected from the year 2006 till 2021 and the source of these thesis are from the library of UPM and UMK. The data were analysed and summarised in the form of bar graphs or pie charts to obtain the distribution. Total number of FYP involving small ruminant diseases in UPM was 74 studies while in UMK only 12 studies. UPM and UMK showed the same trend where the majority of their studies focused on the infectious causes where it was recorded as 96% (71/74 studies) and 75% (9/12 studies), respectively. For geographical settings, 72/74 (97.3%) studies in UPM and 6/12 (50%) studies in UMK were done in urban areas while 2/74 (0.03%) studies in UPM and 6/12 (50%) studies in UMK were done in rural areas. The outcome result from this study will aid the researcher to strategize the upcoming FYP research in ruminant disease subject matter in future.
