Mobile veterinary unit is becoming a boon for livestock farmers.

Raipur : Now the cattle owners of the state do not have to worry about their animals falling sick, because now they can easily call a medical vehicle at their place and get their sick animals treated properly. Under this scheme, sick cattle are getting the benefit of better medical treatment by just one mobile call. Just like humans, now animals are also getting the benefit of medical facilities, due to which their mortality rate is decreasing due to less spread of diseases among animals.

Animal keepers said that now there is no need to worry about the health of animals. In Kondagaon district, the mobile veterinary unit has become a boon for animal keepers. This service is proving to be very effective in providing better medical facilities to animals on time in Kondagaon district. In this scheme, proper treatment is being given to sick animals by going from house to house through medical vehicle. In the absence of proper treatment, when the disease spreads in the animals, they die. Due to which the animal keepers also suffer. This also has an adverse effect on the economic condition of the farmer. Due to the mobile veterinary unit, now the worry of farmers to take the sick animals to the hospital has also reduced. After the implementation of the mobile medical scheme, animal protection has started getting promoted. Now any animal keeper can call a medical vehicle to his place as soon as possible if his animal falls ill and can get his animals treated properly and on time.

Deputy Director of Veterinary Services, Shri Shishirkant Pandey said that this vehicle provides facilities for disease testing and treatment as well as equipment for artificial insemination and castration of inferior bulls. This vehicle organises camps at three places every day to examine and treat animal diseases. Through this, till now, 40 thousand 783 animals have been treated, disease tests have been done in 11541 animals, medicines have been given to 38 thousand 945 animals, artificial insemination of 71 cows, castration of 1818 inferior animals and vaccination of 29189 animals has been done.
