A series of animal health and disease-control camps are being organised in the flood-affected villages of the Marathwada region.
The initiative, undertaken by Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) animal health, aims to prevent the outbreak of lumpy skin disease and other ailments in the region.
Villages located along the Manjara, Sina and Godavari rivers in Marathwada were severely affected by the floods, leading to a surge in tick-borne infections, parasitic infestations, and the risk of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD).
The camps, which commenced in Dharashiv district, have been extended to Latur district and parts of Beed district, benefiting hundreds of farmers and thousands of animals in the flood-hit region.
