An initiative to organize animal health camps in flood-stricken villages of the Marathwada region aims at preventing an outbreak of lumpy skin disease and other ailments.
Commencing in Dharashiv district, the movement has now reached Latur and parts of Beed, targeting villages particularly battered by floods from rivers like Manjara, Sina, and Godavari.
Post-flood conditions have catalyzed a rise in tick-borne infections and parasitic infestations, with a heightened risk of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), prompting efforts by Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) Animal Health to directly support hundreds of farmers and thousands of animals.
