SECTION V
OTHER IMPORTANT DISEASES
There are certain other diseases which
cause severe economic losses but cannot be
prevented by vaccination since there are no
vaccines available . A few of these diseases are
self limiting and proper care and treatment
during infection may aid in recovery.
Besides these, there are some diseases which
are incurable and the only option is to isolate
and remove infected animals from the herd to
prevent infection spreading to other animals.
The clinical symptoms are seen only late in the
disease and animals can spread the infection
before exhibiting any symptoms. This section
therefore deals with the following important
conditions:
A. Johne’s Disease (JD)
B. Bovine Tuberculosis (bTB)
C. Aflatoxicosis
D. Ephemeral Fever (3 day sickness)
E. Foot rot
