    Foot and Mouth Disease

    • Highly contagious viral disease of all cloven


    footed animals
    • Characterized by fever and vesicular eruptions
    in the mouth and on the feet and teats
    • Vaccination with inactivated /killed vaccine

    2
    Peste- des- petits- ruminants ( PPR )

    • PPR is an acute, highly contagious viral disease


    of goats and sheep characterized by fever,
    anorexia, necrotic stomatitis, diarrhea,
    oculonasal purulent discharge and respiratory
    distress.
    • Mortality rate 55-90%
    • Vaccination with attenuated vaccine (1 ml s/c)

    3
    Sheep Pox

    • Occurs during summer and characterized by


    fever, reddish eye, pox lesions seen on head,
    neck, udder regions, characterized by nasal
    discharge and cough
    • Mortality rate: Endemic areas 5-10%, although can
    approach 100% in imported animals
    • Primary vaccination should be at the age of 3
    months with attenuated vaccine

    4
    Bluetongue

    • Bluetongue (BT) is a viral disease causing high


    morbidity and mortality in sheep, cattle and wild
    ruminants
    • Mortality is variable, up to 30%
    • Control of Culicoides vector

    5
    Anthrax

    • Anthrax is a peracute disease characterized by


    septicemia and sudden death accompanied by
    the exudation of tarry blood from body orifices of
    the cadaver

    6
    Johne's disease

    • Johne's disease is chronic enteritis of ruminants


    caused by the aerobic bacterium Mycobacterium
    johnei (syn. M. paratuberculosis)
    • Causes economic losses
    • Lambhood vaccination

    7
    Tetanus

    • Disease occurs more often in lambs than in


    adults, after spores gain entry to a wound
    • Vaccination with tetanus toxoid will help in
    prevention of tetanus.

    8
    Enterotoxaemia

    • Clostridium perfringens type D, one type of


    bacteria that causes enterotoxemia
    • It is most prevalent in feedlot or in creep-fed
    lambs.
    • Symptoms are sudden death, occasional
    pushing and staggering, and apparent blindness
    • Vaccination with Inactivated Clostridium
    perfringens type-D organism at 4 months of age

    9
    Parasitic Diseases

    • In sheep Gastro intestinal nematodiasis is a major


    problem
    • Rotational grazing, strip grazing, snail control etc.,
    • Use of deworming based on the dung examination
    • deworming drugs should be used in rotation in
    order to prevent resistance.
