Respected readers, as you all know that our magazine discusses

the contemporary issues related to agriculture and allied sector in
every issue. We always shared current information with you through
the cover story. This issue is based on the deadly viral disease lumpy
skin disease in animals. It is a dreadful disease in which
chickenpox-like blisters appear on the body of animals, especially
in cows. This disease is spreading in older as well as in young
animals. Our veterinary scientists are engaged in finding vaccine for
this disease.
As we all know that it is a viral disease that spreads rapidly and
it becomes difficult to control, yet it is very important to take
precautions till we have proper treatment. It will be useful to imbibe
the mantra of “prevention is better than cure”. Just like we
have made efforts to win the battle against the epidemic like Corona,
in the same way give your support in saving our livestock from this
epidemic. Hope you like this issue of our magazine and share it with
your friends and colleagues.
Thanks a lot and best wishes.

balanced use of fertilisers with bio-fertilisers and
organic fertilisers as alternative forms of
nutrients.

proposed during the National Conference on
Agriculture for Rabi Campaign that took place on
September 7.
Implementation– The idea of the scheme has
been initiated by the Union Ministry of
Chemicals and Fertilizers.

IDF World Dairy Summit 2022
Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi

inaugurated International Dairy Federation
World Dairy Summit (IDF WDS) 2022
organised at India Expo Centre & Mart,
Greater Noida.
The IDF World Dairy Summit 2022 is an
annual meeting of the global dairy sector,
bringing together approximately 1500
participants from all over the world.
The last such Summit was held in India
about half a century ago in 1974.
Theme
“Dairy for Nutrition and Livelihood”

A Deadly outbreak in India
About the Author
Dr. Sanjana
Ph.D. Scholar
ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute
Bareily, U.P.

Lumpy skin disease has rapidly spread
among cattle in more than 10 states and
Union Territories of India. The death rates
are rising and it continues to have a
disastrous impact on the herd of cattle. Being
the world’s largest milk producer, the dairy
industry of India is facing a huge challenge
as a result of the current outbreak. The milk
production has been severely reduced and
states like Rajasthan, Gujarat and Punjab
have already reported a drop in milk
yield. Reports indicate a reduction of 5-6
lakh litres a day in the milk yield of
Rajasthan. The disease poses a serious
danger to the livelihoods of smallholder
farmers and farmers in various regions have
suffered losses as a result of the deaths of
their cattle.

Current outbreak
The current outbreak started in Gujarat
and Rajasthan around July and had spread
to Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Andaman &
Nicobar and Uttarakhand by early August. It
then spread to Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar
Pradesh and Haryana. In recent weeks, it
was reported in Maharashtra, Madhya
Pradesh, Delhi, and Jharkhand. Over 16 lakh
cases have been reported so far in 197
districts. However, data on the total number
of infected animals is still being collated of
the nearly 75,000 deaths. More than 50,000
deaths, mostly cows, have been reported from
Rajasthan only.

What is
Lumpy skin
disease ?
Lumpy skin disease is an infectious viral
disease caused by Lumpy skin disease virus
of Capripoxvirus genus, subfamily Chordopoxvirniae,
family Poxviridae. It is a non-zoonotic, vector
borne and trans boundary disease with limited
host range and currently restricted to ruminants
viz. cattle and water buffaloes. Calves are
more susceptible and develop lesions within
24 to 48 hrs.
Transmission
 Mechanically through arthropod vectors
such as biting flies, mosquitoes and ticks.
 Indirect transmission through milk,
nasal secretions, saliva, blood and
lachrymal secretions for animals sharing
feeding and watering troughs.
Outbreak of LSD
1928
First Outbreak
First outbreak in Africa and
now endemic in African
countries
Since
2012
Spread
has spread rapidly through the
Middle East, Southeast Europe,
And West and Central Asia
Since
2019
In Asia
Several outbreak reported in
Asian countries such as China,
Bangladesh, Pakistan, India,
Shri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal,
Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand,
Malaysia, Indonesia

 From infected mother to calf via milk
secretions and skin abrasions.
 Through use of single needle for mass
vaccination that can acquire the virus from the
skin scabs or crusts.
Incubation Period
 2-5 weeks in natural conditions
 7-14 days in experimental conditions October, 2022/ Page | 25

Clinical Signs Lumpy Skin
Disease
Biphasic Fever
Swelling of the limbs,

brisket and genitals
Nodules on skin
Reduction in milk
production
Watering eyes

Treatment
 Symptomatic treatment including the
treatment of secondary infection (if any).
 Based on the symptoms and clinical signs:
 Use of anti-inflammatory drugs
(preferably non-steroids) to treat the
inflammatory condition.
 Use of anti-histamine preparations / drugs
to treat allergic conditions.
 Use of Paracetamol in case of high fever.
 In case of secondary bacterial infections
like respiratory infections, skin infections
antibiotics may also be used judiciously.
 Parental/oral multivitamins.
 Oral treatment with 0.1% Methylene Blue
(MB) solution (1 gram of MB powder in 1
litre of water).

What govt. is
doing?
The affected States have prohibited
movement of cattle and are quarantining
infected cattle and buffaloes, spraying
insecticides to kill vectors like mosquitoes,
with some affected States such as
Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi, and
Uttar Pradesh also setting up dedicated
control rooms and helpline numbers to
guide farmers whose cattle have been
infected. 97 lakh vaccine doses had been
given as of the first week of September.
Delhi government procured 25,000 doses
of goat pox vaccine and started a
vaccination drive to prevent the spread of
lumpy skin disease in cattle.
Advisories have been issued by DAHD for using
Goat pox vaccine for the vaccination of cattle and
buffaloes. However, affected animals should not be
vaccinated. In a major breakthrough, ICAR‟s
National Research Centre on Equines (NRCE) at
Hisar, Haryana and the Indian Veterinary Research
Institute (IVRI) at Izatnagar, jointly developed
ind
Lumpi-ProVac , an indigenous vaccine for LSD,
which the Centre plans to commercialise and roll out
in the next three to four months.
Being an agriculture-based economy, it is a
matter of great concern for the livestock rearing
sector. Despite severe reduction in milk production,
LSD can also lead to reduction in export of
livestock and livestock products. Therefore, strict
implementation of advisories and biosecurity
measures should be followed along with undertaking
door to door awareness and vaccination drive to
regulate the spread of disease.
