During the rainy season, animals get a lot of infectious diseases. Many of these diseases are easily controlled. However, there are many diseases whose infection spreads rapidly in animals. At present, one such disease is proving fatal for animals. The name of this disease is ‘Lumpy Skin Disease’.

Symptoms of Lumpy Skin Disease

In this disease, thick lumps start forming on the animal’s body. Especially this infection is more around the head, neck, and genitals of the body. If not treated on time, these lumps grow and become wounds. Along with this, the animals get a high fever. Due to this disease, animals also stop giving milk or sometimes death also occurs. Cow and buffalo are more infected by this disease.

It is necessary to protect animals from disease

First, keep the sick animal separate from the rest of the healthy animals. After this, immediately show the animal to the vet for treatment. At the same time, it is being advised by the veterinary hospital not to let the animals roam outside unnecessarily.

Grant for treatment

The Rajasthan government is giving grants to save animals from this ‘Lumpy Skin Disease’ becoming deadly. In this episode, the state government has already released one lakh rupees each to each district of the state to buy essential emergency medicines. Along with this, 50-50 thousand rupees have been provided to polyclinics.

Apart from this, state medical teams and teams from neighboring districts are being sent to the more affected places for immediate treatment of animals. In such a situation, it is necessary for the livestock owners to take special care of their animals, so that they do not fall into the grip of this deadly disease.
