Attention These 2 fatal diseases spreading in goats in the rain, which can take life; Doctor tells home and correct treatment – Madhya Pradesh News

Satna. Goats play an important role in India’s rural life. They are also called cows of poor. Especially in areas like Baghelkhand, their adherence is still a major means of livelihood of many people, but the monsoon season brings a danger bell for these innocents. During the rainy season, the risk of many infectious diseases increases due to moisture and dirt.

Two main diseases: Orf and Enterotoximia
In a conversation with Local 18, veterinarian Dr. Brihaspati Bharti said that two diseases are usually seen in the goats in the rainy season, including Orf and enterotoximia. Orf is a viral disease, which spreads rapidly from infected goat to other goats. It contains the goat’s mouth and around it. If it is not stopped in time, the whole herd can be affected.

Wrong home remedies can become fatal

Dr. warned that due to lack of information, many cattle rearers use burnt oil on goats ulcers, which the animal licks with the tongue. This can lead to blisters and can worsen the condition. As a better option, he advised to keep the infected separate from the herd and apply turmeric and mustard oil paste on the ulcers so that even if the goat licks it, there is no internal damage.

Vaccination and caution is real treatment
He said that Orf is a self-cure disease that is cured over time, but it is necessary to use antibiotic to prevent other infections related to it. At the same time, vaccination facility is available in government animal hospitals to prevent diseases like enterotoximia, pot pox and PPR. Dr. Bharti also made it clear that pregnant goats can also be vaccinated and this can also strengthen the immunity of their fetus.

Divorming and cleanliness are equally important

In the rain, insects and snails increase in ponds and fields, which are harmful for goats. Especially the snails hide in the grass and when the goat eats them, which causes insects in their stomach. To prevent this, it is necessary to give the medicine to kill the stomach worms from time to time.

Good in defense, preparations should be done before monsoon
Vaccination should be done 20-21 days before the arrival of monsoon as it takes time to develop immunity. Also, goats should be kept away from mud and dirty ponds so that they are healthy and the cattle rearers do not suffer financial loss. Even if the rain is a lifeline, but if caution is not taken, then it can prove to be fatal for animals. In this season, only the vigilance of cattle rearers and timely treatment of goats can ensure the safety of goats.
