What is Lumpy Skin Disease?

 Lumpy skin disease is a viral disease caused by a virus called ‘capripox’. It affects cattle and buffalo. 

It is transmitted by blood-feeding insects, such as certain species of flies and mosquitoes, or ticks. 

The disease results in fever and nodules on the skin and can also lead to death. The infected animals also start losing weight and have a reduced milk yield. 

The viral disease is spread by blood-feeding insects such as certain species of flies, mosquitos, or ticks and through contaminated food and water. It causes acute fever, discharge from the eyes and nose, salivation, soft blister-like nodules all over the body, marked reduction in milk yield, difficulty in eating, and in worst cases, even death. 

The disease is not zoonotic, meaning, it does not spread from animals to humans .

Lumpy skin infection disease is spreading very fast in cows in Rajasthan.  The symptoms of this disease are fever, boils on the body, swelling of the feet, etc., due to this disease.  Gaumata dies in 5 to 7 days after becoming ill.

If we take the stray cows roaming on the streets and get them treated, then we need money for this work.

Your timely help can make a huge difference 

Having more money does not give charity, having a big heart leads to charity.

It costs 1000 to 3000 to treat a sick cow.  So you and I will give new life to 250 to 300 sick cows.  Your money will be used to save the lives of the innocent. 

 "There is no religion greater than love, no action is greater than charity."
