Lumpy Skin Disease Is Killing Thousands Of Cows, and Orphaning their Calves. Help us save and rehome Orphaned, Unwanted & Abandoned Calves from the brutal streets who have already battled Lumpy or are going to!
While our dear Chief Minister Honorable Yogi Adityanath ji calls for conservation of Gauvansh, the truth on streets is sad and bitter. There are thousands of cows abandoned on streets who are infected with LSD Virus, are hurt or injured.
Lumpy Skin Disease has killed lakhs of gaumatas and gauvansh, (Cows) of India daily. Indian Express Says that in Lumpy skin disease: Nearly 1 lakh cattle have already died, toll has almost doubled in three weeks. Imagine the number of Orphans left behind by this terrible disease.
The data available with the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying shows that the lumpy skin disease has spread across 251 districts in 15 states and affected over 20 lakh animals till September 23.
WHAT IS LUMPY SKIN DISEASE?

Lumpy Skin Disease is a viral outbreak that targets cattle and is transmitted by blood-feeding insects like mosquitoes, flies, lice and wasps by direct contact and also through contaminated food and water. The disease is characterized by the development of nodules in the skin, which may cover the whole of the animal's body, and lesions are often found in the mouth and upper respiratory tract.
The disease is caused by a virus in the family Poxviridae, genus Capripoxvirus which affects cattle. "Agro-climates, communal grazing, biting-fly, and introduction of new animals are associated with the occurrence of lumpy skin disease,"
