Livestock suffer from Lumpy Skin Disease at Bhatkal: Lone Gir Cow Dead
Bhatkal: In the background of livestock suffering from Lumpy Skin Disease in the jurisdiction of the Marukeri gram panchayat in the Taluk, dairy farmers in the region have been experiencing widespread panic and fear.
The livestock in the region was observed to be suffering from Lumpy Skin Disease. In the wake of this development, a Gir cow - valued at 50 thousand rupees- belonging to a man named Ganapathy Hegde, passed away because of the disease.
The disease is reportedly rising in aggressively in the region. Accusations are afloat that neither the local panchayat nor the officers with the animal husbandry department have approached the dairy farmers to educate and inform them about precautionary measures.
“There has been an increase in Lumpy Skin Disease among livestock in the Taluk and the vaccination drives are happening in full swing. This is the first death associated with the disease, reported in the Taluk. Already, more than 11,000 livestock have been vaccinated. The vaccination work is slowing down now due to a shortage of staff. The spread of the disease can be brought under control if the farmers identify the sick livestock, and provide them with appropriate treatment in isolation. In case a cow does die because of the disease, compensation will be handed out if the local animal department is informed in this regard.”
