Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs
Disease Description The disease occurs seasonally over a vast expanse of the globe encompassing much of Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Although mortality rates are typically low, infection prevalence and morbidity rates during outbreaks are often very high, causing serious economic impacts through loss of milk production, poor cattle condition at sale and loss of traction power at harvest. There are also significant impacts on trade to regions in which the disease does not occur, including the Americas and most of Europe. In recent years, unusually severe outbreaks of bovine ephemeral fever have been reported from several regions in Asia and the Middle East, with mortality rates through disease or culling in excess of 10–20%. https://veterinaryresearch.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13567-015-0262-4

Precautions
Procedure of Use There are many reasons for the cause of fever in animals. Extreme increase or decrease in temperature is one of the most common causes of fever. Fever may be caused even if the animal has been administered vaccination against tuberculosis and chicken pox. Because of fever, food intake by the animal diminishes. It gets dull and is listless. According to innovator, 500 g inner bark of neem (Azadirachta indica) is mixed with one liter of water and boiled. It is boiled till half of the mixture remains in the container. After cooling, mixture is drenched to the affected animal for three days with the help of drenching pipe. Thus, the animal is cured of the problem. It is a traditional practice.
