Abstract:
Lumpy skin Disease (LSD) is an economically important emerging viral disease, affecting thousands of dairy animals in the country in the recent past. In the present study, EVM preparations (two oral and one for external application) were used in 14 LSD suspected cattle (age 1-7 years) in the states of Assam and Maharashtra. Symptomatic recovery of all the animals were recorded within 7-10 days after initiation of the EVM intervention, except in one animal which took 15 days’ time to recover due to presence of involvement of lower respiratory tract infection.
