There is a problem of cholera disease in cattle and buffaloes here. The problem of cholera has been seen in animals raised in Ratnanagar Municipality and Bharatpur Metropolitan City in eastern Chitwan.
According to Dr. Prabhat Neupane, Chief of the Animal Services Office, the disease has been confirmed in a cow farm in Bharatpur Metropolitan City-27. Although symptoms of cholera have been seen in a cow farm in Ratnanagar, the results have not come from the laboratory.
On November 21, samples of cows from Bharatpur Metropolitan City were sent to the cholera and borderless animal disease research laboratory in Kathmandu and the results came on the 16th, he said.
Chief of the office, Dr. Neupane, informed that vaccination against cholera is currently underway in the areas where the disease has been detected. He said, "Vaccination is underway in the affected areas. Now there is a plan to run a campaign throughout the district."
Symptoms such as fever of 104 degrees Celsius for two to three days, loss of skin on the tongue, abortion if pregnant, reduced milk production, sores on the legs, and refusal to eat are seen in cattle and buffaloes. Chief of the office, Dr. Neupane, said that this disease is mostly seen in cattle and buffaloes.
Although all livestock in the district have been vaccinated against cholera, it is said that the disease may have been seen in animals purchased from outside.
The office has urged that animals purchased from outside should be quarantined for 21 days and only mixed with their own herds, and that infected animals should be kept separately for treatment.
‘Since it can also be transmitted from wild animals, more infections are seen in cattle and buffaloes taken for grazing. In this regard, we urge that every farm should be vaccinated against cholera twice a year by adopting biosecurity methods,’ said office chief Neupane.
