​Suggestions for preventing lumpy skin disease in animals

Livestock: Farmers are advised to regularly monitor the livestock against lumpy skin disease.

• The disease spreads rapidly among livestock through flies, mosquitoes, and ticks. It causes soft blister-like nodules all over the body, fever, runny nose, watery eyes, salivation, reduced milk yield, and difficulty in eating.
• Farmers are advised to timely treat and vaccinate the livestock against the disease. Isolate the sick animal from the other healthy animals when symptoms of the disease are observed.
