| Disease Description |
Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is a contagious bacterial disease caused by two serotypes of Pasteurella multocida, B2 and E2. It affects cattle (Bos taurus and B. indicus) and water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) with a high mortality rate in infected animals. |
| Disease Control |
"Some drugs used to treat hemorrhagic septicemia include oxytetracycline, trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole, a combination of penicillin and streptomycin, or sulphaquinoxaline. Antibiotic resistance has been reported in some endemic areas." |
| Disease Prevention |
"Young cattle and buffaloes were vaccinated subcutaneously and intradermally with a live vaccine containing Pasteurella multocida serotype B:3, 4. Twelve months after vaccination three of five young cattle in the subcutaneously vaccinated group and three of four in the intradermally vaccinated group were protected against serotype B:2 challenge. Eleven buffaloes vaccinated subcutaneously and two vaccinated intradermally survived the same challenge 13 months after vaccination." - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2502878/ |

| Procedure of Use |
In haemorrhagic septicamea, the animal has excessive salivation from the mouth. It stops feeding and drinking due to swelling in the throat region. As a result, the animal becomes frail.
To cure this problem, 200 g each of creepers of "garod", roots of "khativel", leaves of governors plum (Gymnosporia montana) and sugar are crushed together and its extract is obtained. In this extract, appropriate quantity of water is added and finally one liter of extract is prepared. From this mixture, 500 ml in the morning and 500 ml in the evening hours is drenched to the affected animal. This treatment cures the haemorrhagic septicamea problem in the animal.
He has learnt this practice 10 years ago from the cattle owner called Bhavanbhai Vaktabhai of Bhesal village of Rajasthan.
Generally, animals are more prone to this disease in the month of monsoon. He has treated 20 to 25 animals in a year.
He is regularly visiting near by villages for the treatment. |
